Facebook and the Irish Data Protection Commission
- ColinWright 15y agoCompare this with the item submitted as http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3377699 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3377699 The BBC says: The Irish data protection commissioner has recommended widespread changes to improve privacy on Facebook. Facebook says: [the] Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) ... report demonstrates how Facebook adheres to European data protection principles and complies with Irish law. These don't seem entirely consistent, and to put it simply - I don't trust Facebook. They are a company, hence they are trying to make money. The users are the product, and Facebook is in the business of getting, keeping, and in the long run, selling as much information about them as they possibly can.
