Facebook Will Let You Take Your Photos With You

This week, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) announced that it was launching a new tool designed to let users transfer their photos to other services. Initially, the data portability tool will support transferring photos and videos to Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) popular Google Photos service. The social networking juggernaut is rolling out the tool in Ireland first, with broader global availability scheduled for the first half of 2020.

"At Facebook, we believe that if you share data with one service, you should be able to move it to another," privacy and public policy exec Steve Satterfield wrote in a blog post. "That's the principle of data portability, which gives people control and choice while also encouraging innovation."
