- Facebook is updating the kinds of information users can see about why they’re viewing a certain ad.
- The changes to Facebook’s “Why am I seeing this ad?” experience, announced Thursday in a blog post, includes more specific information about why a user is being targeted by an ad with interests and categories.
- Users will now also be able to see more information about the businesses uploading lists of their information, and the advertisers using those lists to target ads.
- The new features are introduced as Facebook continues to grapple with its privacy practices and how it uses personal data to display ads.
- For the first time, Facebook users will be able to see what third-party data brokers and agencies are providing data to Facebook to target personalized ads.
- On Facebook’s “Your ad preferences” page, users can browse this information, choose ad settings (like turning off ads based on data from outside advertisers and other companies) and hide certain ad topics.
