In a blog post on Data Privacy Day, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that its "Off-Facebook Activity" tool -- which lets you manage how Facebook tracks you across the internet -- will finally be launched globally. Zuckerberg had promised this feature since May 2018, when he called it a "Clear History" button.
Along with deleting your history through the tool, the Off-Facebook Activity feature also allows you to turn off future tracking, making sure that your online history isn't a continuous chore that you have to keep cleaning on Facebook.
This is Facebook. History has proven more than once that they are not worth to be trusted. Tracking and profiling is the core of their business model; it's hard to believe that this can be turned off now.
