The announcement for the conversion of the privacy settings on social network Facebook is a step in the right direction. Privacy advocates are the announcements but not far enough. Among other things, is criticism that many options must be disabled by users in order to achieve a truly secure Facebook profile.
In a data protection across the world agree. In the past, Facebook is too lax deal with the data of its users. So say leading consumer and privacy organizations in the U.S. as well as the Federal Consumer Protection Minister Ilse Aigner, among others, the Facebook so criticized because personal data can be transferred without the consent of users. In the future much easier for Facebook users.
Especially from the U.S. but also again criticized. Leading experts view the Facebook’s sudden activity in connection with a complaint with the local Trade Commission. First and foremost it should Facebook go now, therefore, is to take this complaint, the wind from the sails. How sustainable will be the changes, but remains to be seen in every case. One of the main criticisms of data protection is the fact that in principle a Facebook profile with the default settings as many shares information with others.
While many users just see this as the sense of a social network to discover a great data protection weakness: The individual user does not know so, what consequences his actions will have in practice. In the logic of data protection should the users of Facebook and Co. to release both explicit information, rather than restrict access. Whether the principle of privacy advocates on one confrontation, and the social network on the other side by the new Facebook settings something changes, remains questionable.
