- For those interested in knowing more about what kind of information Facebook has stored about its users, the social network is expanding its Download Your Information service to include more than just photos, posts and messages.
- Users choosing to download their information will also have access to stored IP addresses, previous names used, friend requests made and even more to come.
- Facebook is rumored “to collect 84 different categories of information about you (85 if you count all those Instagram photos it just bought),” reports Engadget.
- “In a posting on its privacy blog, Facebook said the expanded archive feature would be introduced gradually to its 845 million monthly active users. It goes beyond the first archive made available in 2010, which has been criticized as incomplete by privacy advocates and regulators in Europe,” explains The New York Times in a related article.
