Question: If Facebook manages data within Europe, what are the safeguards in place to ensure that there won't be mass surveillance, e.g. face recognition, shadow profiles, friend graph browsing?
- rmc 11y agoThe European Data Protection Directive.
- pjc50 11y agoThat's use of the data to which you've "consented" by their EULA. "Mass surveillance" specifically refers to warrantless bulk access to that data by security agencies. (Shadow profiles are plainly a violation of data protection law; do they exist for EU users?)
- JupiterMoon 11y agoYes they do.
- pjc50 11y agoHmm. It seems that a process is ongoing about this, since 2011: http://europe-v-facebook.org/EN/Complaints/complaints.html http://europe-v-facebook.org/EN/Complaints/complaints.html (Irish Data Protection Commissioner is clearly running this at the slowest speed they can get away with)
