- Facebook to updates terms of use: Users of the social media platform will now have a clear idea of what is happening with their data in updated terms and conditions. These updates came about from pressure from the European Commission who is responsible for the implementation of the broader data protection laws (GDPR) that were rolled out last year.As a part of Facebook’s effort to be more transparent these updated terms will reflect major changes that explicitly says “that Facebook does not charge users for its services in return for users’ agreement to share their data and to be exposed to commercial advertisements.” The company has agreed to now “clearly explain that their business model relies on selling targeted advertising services to traders by using the data from the profiles of its users.” Facebook has also changed positions on third-parties misusing its platform by saying they acknowledge responsibility in case of negligence for third-parties in the platform. The European Commission will be monitoring the social media giant to make sure these changes have been implemented worldwide by the end of June 2019.
