Again, the institutions responsible for preservation of data are rolling their eyes at the social network Facebook. On one hand, the EU considers "unacceptable" changes in distribution of personal information. On the other hand, the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) American believes the site should apply to itself some of its principles.
The representatives of the authorities responsible for protecting data from 27 states of the European Union sent a protest letter to Facebook and said that users should "freely give their consent and without ambiguity" in the publication of their personal information. Also called the task force of section 29, the representatives met this week to identify some good practices.
The group has "addressed his criticisms to 20 social networking sites claiming the need for a default setting limiting data about users and sites they visit." At the same time, the non-governmental American EFF has also criticized the Facebook privacy policy.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation challenges the successive turns of the site on the component of personal data. While Facebook explained that "users are free to decide whom they want to share their information and thus regulate methods of dissemination, this time the position has changed.
Faced with criticism about the preservation of personal data, an official of the social network has dropped "If you're not familiar with sharing information, there is no reason for you to do." Translation, those who do not like Facebook are asked to leave. As the successive changes of conditions of use, the discourse has changed.
