We mention on the show that Marketing Land reached out to a number of digital marketers from different disciplines for their reaction to Google's decision. The publication reports that “their responses convey a mix of skepticism and anxiety, pragmatism, and optimism.”
Facebook's “Clear History” Tool Now Available to All Users: Facebook made the new Off-Facebook Activity tool available to all Facebook users around the world. This new version of Privacy Check-Up is split into four distinct sections, one of which is Facebook's much-anticipated Clear History tool and it shows which third-party data providers and groups have shared user interactions with Facebook.

Today is Data Privacy Day and one of our main goals for the next decade is to build much stronger privacy protections for everyone on Facebook.
Following the successful test of âOff Facebook Activityâ (OFA) in Ireland, this tool is now available to people on Facebook around the world. Other businesses send us information about your activity on their sites and we use that information to show you ads that are relevant to you. Now you can see a summary of that information and clear it from your account if you want to. In addition to OFA, we will prompt users in Ireland along with over 2 billion people worldwide to review their privacy setting using the Privacy Checkup tool.
Whether itâs through our global rollout of Off-Facebook Activity, our revamped Privacy Check Up Tool, or our recent introduction of Third-Party Login alerts, getting data privacy and security right is fundamental to our business, and we are invested in giving people more control over their experience on Facebook.
