"Managing Privacy: A Guide to Facebook's 'Link History' Feature and How to Disable It"

TL;DR Summary
Facebook has introduced a new feature called "Link History," which tracks and stores the links users click within the app. This feature is enabled by default and is used for targeted advertising, but users have the option to opt-out. Despite being presented as a convenience tool, it raises privacy concerns, especially since it doesn't cover other Meta apps or web browsing outside the Facebook app. The feature comes amidst increasing privacy measures from other tech giants and regulators, contrasting with Meta's continued focus on data collection.
