It is providing users to double check their privacy if their data is shared with any other apps or company or not.
Mostly users try to use different apps and website in facebook. But now after the Cambridge analytica scandal everyone needs to be concerned about their privacy in other popular social sites also. It’s a great tool Facebook has brought for its user. But it’s still unsure if this will help Facebook to gain back people’s trust again or not.
Facebook stated,“Overall, we believe these changes will better protect people’s information while still enabling developers to create useful experiences”. It further stated, “We know we have more work to do. And we’ll keep you updated as we make more changes.”
Facebook reputation and trust was on down since it has faced the Cambridge Analytica Scandal. It had to face millions of loss in stock markets in just a few hours of the news of scandals.

There’s more to do, and we need to step up and do it.”
