BERLIN :Germany's cartel office said Meta plans to introduce a new overview for users of its platforms Facebook and Instagram, in a step towards allaying anti-trust concerns following years of discussions with the regulator.
"We have updated the Meta account overview to show more transparently how our services work together and give people more control over these features," a Meta spokesperson said.In 2019, the cartel office sought to ban Meta - then Facebook - from combining user data from several sources without users' consent.
The new feature offered by Meta to manage accounts revises a previous plan that the cartel office described as"seriously deficient" and which it said did not inform consumers in a neutral or transparent way.
