Re: European Facebook users: Heads up!

if that's true and they didn't need to do it, my guess is that they are using this as leverage.Basically, fine, we'll comply but lets see how much users will actually allow to be taken away before they start looking at these new laws unfavorably.  Sort of calling the EU's bluff.  And given how much money is at stake I can see why.Just a theory though based on things they and others like them have done in the past, I have no hard evidence.

Re: European Facebook users: Heads up!

Huh, weird. According to people who know about this sort of stuf, FB didn't actually have to do anything like this, the messages/calling/video calls were not in breach of any rules at all

Re: European Facebook users: Heads up!

A personalized reply is for apps that use Messenger. Also, it's looking like I might not be able to use the share button to share URLs, but I can cop paste.Plus, add to that, you can no longer access messages on the mobile site seemingly! Both m, and mbasic, don't even have a messages page any more!

European Facebook users: Heads up!

Hi All.Facebook is notifying Messenger and Instagram users in Europe that some features are temporarily unavailable. A small message has appeared in both the Facebook Messenger and Instagram apps for European users last week I guess, noting that some features aren’t available to “respect new rules for messaging services in Europe.”Facebook doesn’t outline exactly what features will be missing, but the company does reveal on its support pages that polls on both Messenger and Instagram are currently unavailable in Europe, alongside a lack of stickers in Instagram and no personalized replies on Messenger. Other missing features may include a lack of certain file sends on Messenger, missing nicknames, or the ability to share AR effects in DMs on Instagram.Facebook has temporarily disabled some of these features to comply with new rules on data usage in EU countries. It’s part of the national implementations that are taking place of the 2002 Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (ePrivacy Directive). This directive imposes stricter rules on data use across communications services that operate in countries that are part of the European Union.It’s not clear when Facebook will reinstate these features for European users, but a spokesperson tells The Verge that most will return “very soon.The same can be found on Google for proof if needed.I thought would just let you all know in case if anyone is wondering.Thanks.
