Facebook Risks Legal action over Privacy

Facebook could be hauled into court amid concerns there are serious gaps in their policies protecting members privacy. Britain's privacy commissioner has investigated the site and warned it could be breaking the law. It has published a report which suggests users do not understand how to delete private information and their details could fall into the wrong hands. If the social networking site does not address the privacy concerns within 30 days, it could face legal action, the report said. We urge Facebook to implement all of our recommendations to further enhance their site, ensure they are in compliance with privacy law, and ultimately show themselves as models of privacy, Assistant Commissioner Elizabeth Denham said.
