Facebook users will soon be able to delete their browsing history on this social network.
On Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and founder of Facebook, said his company is adding a new privacy feature that will allow you to erase your browsing history, including what you've clicked and the websites you've visited.
"In your web browser, you have a simple way to delete your 'cookies' and your history, the idea is that many sites need cookies to work, but you should still be able to delete your history whenever you want, we are creating a version of this as well. for Facebook ", he wrote in a publication published on this social network.
Once the update is implemented, users will also be able to see information about the applications and websites they interacted with, the ones that use ads and the Facebook analysis tools. Users can also delete this information from their accounts.
"To be clear, when you delete cookies in your browser, you can worsen some parts of your experience.You may have to log in again on each website, and you may have to reconfigure your stuff. It will happen here, Facebook will not be so good as you relearn your preferences, "said Zuckerberg.
The company said it would take "a few months" to implement the function.
The announcement came before the annual Facebook F8 developer conference in San Jose on Tuesday.
Last month, Zuckerberg testified on Capitol Hill about the company's role in allowing Cambridge Analytica, a UK-based political data firm that worked for Donald Trump's presidential campaign, to unduly access 87 million data of people.
This Tuesday, Facebook also began offering users an option to mark each entry in News Feeds and in other places as hate speech. The function appeared in the desktop version, but not in its mobile version.
The question "Does this publication contain hate speech?" it began to appear in all messages until approximately 11:30 a.m., Eastern time. If the users clicked on themselves, they could give their opinion about the publication. The options were "Hate speech", "Test P 1", "Test P 2" and "Test P 3".
A Facebook spokesman told CNNMoney that an "error" caused the test to be released publicly.
"This was an internal test in which we were working to understand different types of discourse, including the speech that we thought would not be hate," the spokesperson said. "It has been deactivated," he added.
