These fields include Religious Views, Political Views, Address, and an &#8220;Area of Interest&#8221; field indicating the user&#8217;s sexual orientation. This change will take effect on December 1st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A spokesperson told<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs part of our efforts to make Facebook easier to navigate and use, we\u2019re removing a handful of profile fields: Interested In, Religious Views, Political Views, and Address,\u201d the spokesperson said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re sending notifications to people who have these fields filled out, letting them know these fields will be removed. This change doesn\u2019t affect anyone\u2019s ability to share this information about themselves elsewhere on Facebook.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Facebook is removing religious views and \u2018interested in\u2019 info from profiles from 1 December 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SKjSrtwUwm\">pic.twitter.com\/SKjSrtwUwm<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Matt Navarra (@MattNavarra) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattNavarra\/status\/1592886209315246082?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 16, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook&#8217;s decision to remove these specific profile fields is part of an effort to optimize the platform, which currently consists of some somewhat outdated features. It is worth noting that the information fields that Facebook chooses to remove are not offered by other major social networks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have simple bios that allow users to share a little bit about themselves without going into specific details such as political or religious views. While some may have been interested in it, users may no longer want to share additional details about themselves online as the invasion of privacy has been revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yuuma<\/p>\n<div class='wp_social_bookmarking_light'>\n            <div class=\"wsbl_google_plus_one\"><g:plusone size=\"medium\" annotation=\"none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/archives\/12567\" ><\/g:plusone><\/div>\n            <div class=\"wsbl_hatena_button\"><a href=\"\/\/b.hatena.ne.jp\/entry\/https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/archives\/12567\" class=\"hatena-bookmark-button\" data-hatena-bookmark-title=\"Facebook is removing some information fields from profiles\" data-hatena-bookmark-layout=\"standard\" title=\"\u3053\u306e\u30a8\u30f3\u30c8\u30ea\u30fc\u3092\u306f\u3066\u306a\u30d6\u30c3\u30af\u30de\u30fc\u30af\u306b\u8ffd\u52a0\"> <img src=\"\/\/b.hatena.ne.jp\/images\/entry-button\/button-only@2x.png\" alt=\"\u3053\u306e\u30a8\u30f3\u30c8\u30ea\u30fc\u3092\u306f\u3066\u306a\u30d6\u30c3\u30af\u30de\u30fc\u30af\u306b\u8ffd\u52a0\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" style=\"border: none;\" \/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/b.hatena.ne.jp\/js\/bookmark_button.js\" charset=\"utf-8\" async=\"async\"><\/script><\/div>\n            <div class=\"wsbl_twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/archives\/12567\" data-text=\"Facebook is removing some information fields from profiles\" data-via=\"GIGASJAPAN_APPS\" data-lang=\"ja\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n            <div class=\"wsbl_facebook_like\"><div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/archives\/12567\" layout=\"button_count\" action=\"like\" width=\"100\" share=\"false\" show_faces=\"false\" ><\/fb:like><\/div>\n            <div class=\"wsbl_facebook_send\"><div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div><fb:send href=\"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/archives\/12567\" colorscheme=\"light\" ><\/fb:send><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<br class='wp_social_bookmarking_light_clear' \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook has been informing users that it will remove four information fields from profiles starting next mont [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[100],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12567"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12567"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12567\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12568,"href":"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12567\/revisions\/12568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
