Meta submits changes to UK privacy compliance proposals, CMA says
May 24, 2024 11:05 AM

May 24 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms ( META ) has offered

to limit the use of certain data from all advertisers on its

Facebook Marketplace platform, as part of amendments to the

proposals accepted by the Competition Market Authority (CMA) in

November, the regulator said on Friday.

The CMA had accepted commitments from Meta in November that

would prevent the social media giant from "exploiting" its

advertising customers' data.

Those proposals included giving competitors that

advertise on its platforms the ability to opt out of having

their data used for improving Facebook Marketplace.

The British competition watchdog has accepted the proposed

changes on a provisional basis and is inviting views from

interested third parties on the matter. The consultation closes

on June 14.

Other changes, if any, to Meta's proposals, accepted

earlier, were not disclosed.

Amazon.com ( AMZN ) in November also committed to not using

marketplace data from rival sellers to ensure an even playing

field for third-party sellers.
