Privacy issues damage the image of Facebook
Facebook, the star of the 400 million internet users world is undergoing one of its huge setbacks in privacy issues. In the U.S., civil rights such as the Electronic Privacy Information Center associations have claimed to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate the changes introduced by the social network to share users public information with other websites. At the same time, the EU data protection authorities called this unacceptable privacy settings adopted by Facebook.
Google has pointed out that “How to delete my Facebook account” query is among the 10 most common searches, a heavy blow, certainly for the young company.
Yesterday, Facebook has arranged a meeting with various actors of the sector to discuss its strategy of privacy. Although it is possible for the users really concerned about their privacy, can enter Facebook options and return the account to their previous conditions or even a more closed. Experts say that Facebook wants to open the information to sell content to Google regardless of the privacy and Facebook should think again about their business model.
Facebook need to understand that the service is not property of that community who created it. The problem of the owners of Facebook is forced to make the most of their business, but at the same time there is a community that does not need this monetization. This is a matter of confidentiality and security of data.
