INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Facebook says an overhaul of its privacy tools will make it easier for people to find and edit the personal information the company holds.
Details of the changes were announced in a blog.
They follow intense criticism of the firm after it emerged that data about 50 million users had been harvested and passed on to a political consultancy.
However, Facebook says the revamp was already planned ahead of the scandal in order to comply with new EU rules.
The announcement coincides with a fresh dispute with New Zealand's privacy watchdog, which has accused Facebook of being in breach of local laws.
