A leaked internal document reveals a major tech company’s plans to overhaul its approach to user privacy and data collection, signaling a potential shift away from its long-standing reliance on targeted advertising. The 12-page memo outlines concerns over regulatory scrutiny and growing public backlash, proposing stricter controls on how personal information is shared with third-party advertisers. Employees describe the changes as a response to mounting pressure from lawmakers and consumer advocacy groups, though details on implementation remain unclear. The document suggests internal divisions over whether the move will weaken the company’s core business model or improve long-term trust with users.
