Facebook to Remove Some Personal Details on Users' Profiles

 

Facebook has on Wednesday notified its users that starting December 1st, some personal bio details that users can share on their profiles be removed. The social media company spokesperson also confirmed on Wednesday.

According to the company’s spokesperson, the fields include "Interested in," which indicates a user's sexual orientation, "Religious views," "Political views," and "Address." The rest of the information such as contact info will remain.

Facebook did not state the reason why it’s removing these details from its users’ profiles. 

Recall, last week, Meta, Facebook parent company, fired 11,000 employees, representing 13% of its workforce, across the company to cut cost after losing billions of dollars in revenue on lavish spending on the metaverse.
