According to TechCrunch, an IT news site, other items such as Political Views and Address will be deleted from the profile, and users who have filled in these items will be notified of the deletion. It is being sent.

A Facebook spokesperson told TechCrunch, “As part of our efforts to make Facebook easier to use, we are reducing profile fields. We have sent a notification announcing that it will be removed.This change will not affect other features where you share information about yourself.'

Regarding the changes to Facebook, which can be said to be a representative of the early SNS, the technology blog Engadget said, ``There will be no practical impact other than reducing the length of scrolling through contacts and basic data. You could say it reflects a shift in thinking: Facebook has had these sections since the dawn of social networking to make it easier for users to share private information, but today. So privacy is a big concern, and with online stalking and harassment becoming commonplace today, people probably don't want to share profile information anymore.'
