The meta company tracks your Facebook links, but you can stop it

We have found out where Facebook stores our information before. Users have noticed an issue that seems annoying. Meta Company tracks all the links you open on your Facebook. Users consider this a violation of privacy and are unhappy with it. Facebook has now enabled you to stop this tracking, and this company will no longer track your links. We will talk more about it in this article.

Tracking Facebook links targeted ads or privacy violations?

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is discussing a feature where all the links you open on Facebook are saved together. Hence, you always have a history of them to open and re access them.

If you enter the Facebook settings section and open the Link History option, you will see that all your links are located here. Meta considers it a feature and said these links will be saved for only 30 days. Also, this company has stated that this will show you more targeted ads.

However, users consider this a violation of privacy laws, and they think Meta is tracking them with this work. Although this history is cleared every 30 days, this feature is turned on automatically, and the user must manually turn it off to avoid saving their links.

If the user is unaware of this, Meta company will continue to track the links, and you will not receive any warning. If tracking clicked links leads to targeted advertising, who knows what else it could be used for? There is a fine line between providing a valuable and abusive tool.
