What is different in Facebook accounts from December 1st?

Facebook has announced to users that it will remove four information areas from the profile starting next month. These areas include religious views, political views, addresses, and field “concerned”, which indicates the user's sexual orientation. The change will take effect on December 1st. A company spokesman said the reason for the change was to make the social network easier to use.

“As part of our efforts to make it easier to navigate and use Facebook, we are removing certain areas of profile: interested, religious views, political views and addresses. We are sending reports to people who have completed these areas, announcing that” will be removed, says the company's announcement.

The announcement shows that other user information will remain in their accounts along with other contact and base information.

Facebook's decision to get rid of these specific profile areas is part of an effort to improve its platform, which currently consists of some features that are somewhat outdated.

It is noteworthy that the information areas Facebook has decided to remove are what other large social networks do not offer. “Plates such as Instagram and TikTok have a model of simple biographies that allows users to share information about themselves without entering specific details, such as political or religious views. ”

In the past, people may have been interested in supplementing their profiles with additional information, but as privacy rules become clearer and more defined, users may no longer want to share additional details about themselves online.

By the way, the “Meta” fired 11 thousand workers last week, making up about 13 percent of its workforce.
