Facebook announced at their F8 developer conference on Monday, several new features designed to connect its user base, rather than worry them about how much data it was saving about you.

CBS News Correspondent Vladimir Duthiers and WIRED’s Issie Lapowsky discuss the new Facebook features announced, and Issue explains how a”clear history” option will alter the company’s business model and discusses whether opting into new features is a safe move.

Some of new features announced were Watch Party, Instagram video chat, and even a Facebook Dating app.

“People will be able to create a dating profile that is separate from their Facebook profile—and potential matches will be recommended based on dating preferences, things in common, and mutual friends,” according to Facebook.

Watch Party:

“Let’s say that your friend is testifying before Congress.” Zuckerberg introduced Watch Party—a way of importing a video stream into Facebook, and then organizing a chat room around it—with a big grin, implying that answering questions from the nation’s lawmakers was just another mildly embarrassing event that was overshared.

Clear History:

Facebook has always dragged its heels on letting you escape its clutches. While Microsoft offers numerous privacy controls to minimize its data use, Facebook said “it’s building” a tool called Clear History, which will allow you to be able to see what data Facebook has collected from apps and websites, and allow you to purge it, too. Zuckerberg warned users that Facebook “won’t be as good” without that additional data, but at least you’ll have better control over what’s being shared.

Instagram video chat:

Many people don’t realize that Instagram is owned by Facebook, which is probably why Messenger-style video chats are coming to Instagram.
