Facebook Just Played the Government
worth a read
The FTC just announced it reached a settlement with the shameless social network for breaking a slew of privacy promises to users, including by forcing private friends lists into public, grossly oversharing data with third party apps, and failing to actually delete deleted content. As punishment – if you can call it that – Facebook agreed to conduct 10 privacy audits over 20 years, to actually delete information when the user deletes it, to stop “making misrepresentations about the privacy or security of consumers’ personal information,” and to require users to opt-in to any new privacy changes.
