Facebook now allows you to transfer all of your data, including messages, notes, and images, to other sites to give users greater access and choice of their data. The company named this tool “Transfer Your Information.” This tool allows users to directly transfer their data from the site to platforms like Google Docs, Blogger, and WordPress.com. This is an enhancement to the Facebook tool already there, which allows you to upload images and videos to Backblaze, Dropbox, Google Photos, and Koofr.
As per the post by Facebook, they will expand the data types and partners in the future.
“We plan to continue expanding our data types and partners in the future. However, the ecosystem we are building to support data portability will not come to fruition without regulation that clarifies which data should be made portable and who is responsible for protecting data once it has been transferred. We hope that today’s updates can help advance conversations with policymakers, developers and experts about these issues”
