All photos can be moved from Facebook to Google

As the first open source data transfer project DTP (Data Transfer Project) started by GAFM and Twitter, Facebook announced the ability to move entire photos to Google Photos.

If Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter each open the DTP code data, they can carry all the data and transfer it to a third-party service, so it can be avoided from criticizing that data is blocked alone and unfairly lowered competition.

Accordingly, Google Photo Transfer is expected to be used in Ireland, where its overseas headquarters are located, and in the rest of the world, it is expected to start using in the first half of next year. When this function is started, the settings of the Facebook information page are accessed and data is encrypted, so it cannot be transmitted without entering a password. If you delete your account and transfer photos, your data will disappear from the system after up to 90 days, but if you have an account, the photos will remain in Facebook’s possession even after the transfer.

Amidst the difficulty in signing data portability in the GDPR, the announcement that considered data portability was due to investigations by the Attorney General of 47 states in the U.S., the fact that Facebook’s share in the SNS advertising market is 83%, and suspected violations of antitrust laws and privacy laws It can be called the background. In addition, there is a growing pressure on the division, such as Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes posting a Facebook division theory in the New York Times. In addition to the bill being deliberated by the Senate (ACCESS), Facebook targets major services with more than 100 million monthly active users. In addition to the parent body, Facebook also includes three services, including WhatsApp and InstarGreum. It is a bill to stop blocking information and lower the barrier to entry for small and medium players. In addition, the EU is also implementing antitrust laws and personal information protection laws against Google and Facebook. Related information can be found here .
