The ruling said Facebook should have to get permission separately before using customer data from other apps and websites to do so.

LOS ANGELES: For Facebook, giving its 2.32 billion monthly users the ability to clear out their digital history – something the company plans to launch in 2019 – is going to hurt the social-media colossus’ business, according to a top Facebook exec. 

“Privacy is a headwind for us in 2019,” CFO David Wehner said, speaking at the Morgan Stanley 2019 Technology, Media & Telecom Conference on Tuesday in San Francisco.
