Meta has unveiled a new Facebook timeline that disables recommendation algorithms.
The new Feeds tab displays posts from friends, groups, and pages the user follows.
Meta also updated the Home page section, which is still generated by recommendation algorithms. Users will be able to see content, including from people and public groups to which they are not subscribed.
Tabs will appear in the Facebook Android and iOS apps within a week. The “Home” section will open by default, however, the user can pin the “Ribbons” to the Quick Access Toolbar.
Previously, the tech giant made attempts to retain visitors to the social network using a chronological method of displaying content. In March 2021, Facebook gave users quick access to the “Most Recent” setting for their News Feed.
Recall that in October 2021, a former employee of the social network Francis Haugen accused the company of deliberately using algorithms to incite hatred for the sake of profit.
In the same month, Facebook agreed to open content ranking tools to regulators to prove they were harmless.
In July 2022, the European Parliament passed a law obliging social networks to ensure the transparency of recommender algorithms.
