In fact, these sections have been around since the dawn of the social network, which is why this decision was made. The company takes data privacy very seriouslySo much so, that social media consultant Matt Navarra shared the screenshot of the notification directly on his Twitter profile.
Media reaction
The company was contacted by various media to request comment on this novelty. Meta has stated that it wants to make Facebook easier to navigate, but while removing such news from users’ personal pages, It will never be forbidden to share it with other people on the social network.
