ius and bits

With a press release dated May 12 's Art 29 Working Party, which is the group of European privacy Authority, wrote a letter to Facebook expressing it as unacceptable behavior of the company that changed the default settings in the user's expense.

In fact, this action of Art. WP 29 is directly connected to the commitment assumed by the social network provider that the February 10, 2009 signed in Luxembourg on the principles (no. 8) on social networks in Europe. The WP has stressed the necessity of a default, in which access to profile information and connection information of a user is limited to the selected contacts. All other access, such as search engines, must be - it stresses - an express choice of the user.

The Art Group. 29 has already spoken on social networks with a comprehensive document published by me in two posts: one here and another here .

What will happen again on the front privacy and social networks?
