Facebook partners with two more companies ahead of FTC hearing on data portability
Control of data that hurts competition has become a critical topic in the antitrust debate in the United States and Europe.
Facebook also said a portability bill called the Access Act, already doing the rounds in Congress from Democratic Senators Richard Blumenthal and Mark Warner and Republican senator Josh Hawley, is a good first step and that it will continue engaing with lawmakers on it.
Smaller technology companies will be more willing to partner with Facebook once regulations around data portability become more clear, Bijan Madhani, privacy and public policy manager at Facebook told Reuters.
Data portability is a requirement under Europes privacy law called the General Data Protection Regulation and Californias privacy law called the California Consumer Protection Act .
