> The law demands that only the minimal amount of personal information required for a specific purpose be collected, and then that it must be deleted as soon as that purpose has been completed. [...] So if someone posts something in their timeline, how long is it allowed to stay? Until all friends have seen it, or longer?
In that example, wouldn't the specific purpose be "to display it on the user's timeline" (or on the user's profile)? So it would be allowed to stay as long as the timeline (or the user's profile) is visible (and the user didn't mark that piece of information as hidden).
- downandout 9y agoBut collecting the wall post in the first place, which was not necessary for any party, may in fact be illegal under this law. It says specifically that companies are to collect "the minimum amount of information necessary". If I put a box in front of you and encourage you to input highly personal data, such as what you had for lunch, who you voted for, what you're doing at work today, or how you're feeling today...am I not actively violating this law? There's at least an argument to be made that I am.

- acjohnson55 9y agoI don't get your point. It's explicitly for sharing that info with a specific audience.
