"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.
