Facebook’s promised Clear History privacy tool to launch later this year following delay

Facebook’s long-awaited Clear History tool, a privacy feature the social network says will let you wipe information the social network collects about you from third-party apps and websites, is now scheduled to come out later this year, chief financial officer David Wehner told the crowd at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference.

The future of instagram face filters is glossy, metallic, and surreal

Brenda Cardenas, an augmented reality effects creator, remembers the filter that ignited the recent Instagram craze.

“The Beauty3000 filter,” she says. “[It] just made everything explode. Like all of a sudden, all of our [filter usage] numbers started going up.”

Pinterest takes the lead in the fight against online misinformation

The battle against misinformation just signed up a powerful, albeit unlikely ally: Pinterest.

LinkedIn Job Listings Now Inform Users Where They Could Make More Money

LinkedIn is rolling out a salary comparison tool to help professionals discover where they could make more money.

“Now, when you’re searching for jobs on LinkedIn in the U.S., UK and Canada, we’ll show you personalized insights about jobs where you could make more money on the job card and within the job listing.”

This enhancement to job listings will not indicate specifically how much more could be made. It will simply notify users of a “pay raise opportunity.”
