Facebook Messenger is one of the messaging platforms owned by the Facebook company, it was also involved in the scandal caused after it was discovered that a company called Cambridge Analytica extracted information from Facebook about users. In the case of Facebook Messenger, private messages sent by users were extracted, and now the facebook company has started to notify its customers about the application's security settings.
Facebook Messenger has started displaying the message in the image below to a variety of users around the world, as Facebook tries to help people check if they are sharing important data in an unwanted way. This can be prevented by Facebook Messenger users, and in the alert message displayed by the application there is also a link through which the section where the data settings can be found can be quickly accessed.
Facebook Messenger – the important message for all users
Facebook Messenger displays this message because on May 25th the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation imposed by the European Union to protect users and their data will come into force. Facebook must comply with these rules imposed by the European Union for all web services in Europe, so it started testing this message in Facebook Messenger to help users manage their settings more easily.
Facebook Messenger has to make a lot of changes because of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and that's because Facebook is being watched very intensely at the moment and any move can bring big losses. In this idea, the Americans are trying to implement various changes in Facebook Messenger to protect data before the American government gets involved and imposes them by law, so we can expect other announcements regarding how our account data is managed in the platform future.
