Facebook v Privacy Commissioner

Tags: , — David Canton @ 8:28 am

David Fraser points out that the year Facebook said it needed to address privacy issues raised by the Canadian Privacy Commissioner is over, and there is speculation that the Commissioner may not be satisfied.

It will indeed be interesting to see how this shakes out.

Frankly, the things that Facebook does from time to time suggests that Facebook / Zuckerberg either doesn’t understand or doesn’t care about privacy. 

Privacy issues can be complex and controversial – but the basic concepts of personal choice, transparency as to what is being done with one’s info and how to control that in a simple manner, and opt-in to new privacy sensitive features – should be easy to get.
