Facebook today announced<\/a> a new feature that will allow users to export their Facebook posts and notes to a number of third-party services. Although the company has long since offered tools that let you download the information<\/a> you\u2019ve posted to Facebook, the tool launching today offers a more practical way of saving that data \u2014 by allowing you to export your notes and posts to popular services like Google Docs, Blogger or WordPress.com.<\/p>\n

Facebook users will find this latest feature under the \u201cYour Facebook Information\u201d menu in Settings, where you\u2019ll then click \u201cTransfer Your Information.\u201d A series of prompts will walk you through the process to transfer your data to one of the available destinations.<\/p>\n

To protect the data, Facebook says it will ask users to re-enter their password before the transfer begins, which it also does with other exports. The process will encrypt the data as it moves between Facebook and the other service, the company notes.<\/p>\n

The move to support the export of text-based content is interesting, as it\u2019s been reported<\/a> Facebook is developing a competitor to newsletter platform Substack. The social network aims to capitalize on the growing momentum in the newsletter industry, which has recently seen a number of top writers leave larger publications in order to connect with their audience directly, via paid newsletters. Twitter also acquired a newsletter business, Revue<\/a>, to pursue the same goals. While Facebook didn\u2019t say if its upcoming product would be included in the export procedure announced today, it makes for a good hedge against any sort of anti-competitive claims if and when Facebook rolls out the new service.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s addition is part of Facebook\u2019s larger Data Transfer Project<\/a>, a collaboration between tech giants designed to give users more ways to move their content between services. Last year, for example, Facebook added a feature that gave users a way to export their Facebook photos and videos to Google Photos<\/a>, as a result of the team-up. Users can now also export photos and videos to Backblaze, Dropbox and Koofr, as well.<\/p>\n

Alongside news of its announcement, Facebook argued for regulation in the area of data portability. It said there should be laws that determine which data should be made portable, and who is responsible for protecting the data once it has been transferred. The company also pointed to comments it filed with the FTC<\/a> last year as well as a white paper<\/a> that explored the privacy questions that surround the development of data portability tools.<\/p>\n
