Zuckerberg Said to Be Headed for Capitol Hill
The company faces heavy criticism - including from lawmakers in the US and United Kingdom - for allowing the Trump campaign-linked data firm Cambridge Analytica to get and hold data on some 50 million Facebook users.
Facebook is adding two more tools, including a privacy shortcuts menu, where people can add two-factor authentication and control the ads they're served.
There is a new Facebook page - called Access Your Information - where users can see what they have shared and manage it. Rob Sherman, Facebook's deputy chief privacy officer, and Molly Cutler, its associate general counsel, have met with staff from the House and Senate Commerce, Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, they said.
Late today, Facebook also said that it was halting its practice of allowing advertisers to target ads using information from third-party data brokers. From there, users will be able to find clear explanations of how the privacy controls work and will be able to tighten down the security of their data with only a few clicks.
The company has re-organised its privacy settings into one place on the phone app in response to criticism they are too hard to find.
This past week, a New Zealand man was looking through the data Facebook had collected from him in an archive he had pulled down from the social networking site.
Hefner added, "Learning of the recent meddling in a free USA election further demonstrates another concern we have of how they handle users' data".

Now according to the Information, Facebook will be making some changes to the devices where instead of the video data being sent to servers for processing and storing, Facebook might make it so that it is all stored locally on the device itself.
An Indian billionaire who promised to help fund a rival to Facebook said Wednesday he had been "overwhelmed" with the response as the world grapples with concerns about data privacy.
The bad news is that the data kept on file about your social media use is vast, scary, and probably far deeper than you realise.
Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has repeatedly apologized and bought full-page advertisements in US and British newspapers promising to do more to restrict access to users' information.
You can also delete all the information.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has opened an investigation into Facebook, and attorneys representing 37 states are also pressing Zuckerberg to explain what happened. Zuckerberg replied, "what the terms say is that we're not going to share people's information except for with the people that they asked for it to be shared". That's where people can go to delete information or download a copy.
In an interview with Recode and MSNBC to be broadcast next week, he said: "We could make a ton of money if we monetised our customers, if our customers were our product".
