- Facebook now needs to ask your permission to use your data to target ads or turn on face recognition in Europe.
- It’s a requirement that’s part of a new EU privacy law called GDPR.
- But Facebook provides no simple button to “decline” permission, although there’s a big blue “accept” option.
- The button labeled “manage data setting” brings users to another page where Facebook tries to convince you not to opt out of face recognition or targeted ads.
- Clicking “manage data setting” twice finally gives users a chance to opt-out.
Facebook will ask you in the coming weeks and months to give it permission to target ads and use your face for facial recognition.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
