What can I do as member?
Not much. Facebook users have until Thursday to comment on the changes, the company plans to then consider the comments. Unlike before, but the users have no option to decline the changes in a vote. Michaela believes prong from the Consumer Federation (vzbv): “It will bring nothing, leave a comment.” The new regulations will take effect automatically for German users after 30 days in power. Who still uses the network so that agrees with the new rules. Tine recommends at least check the settings for advertising. The can be found at the point “advertisements”.
