Facebook has a population nearly as large as China or India's - and
the natives are getting restless
http://j.mp/M2zdcf (Foreign Policy)
"Europe v. Facebook has a list of objectives: transparency in terms
of what happens to personal data; a requirement that data can't be
shared unless without explicit "opt-in" consent by the user;
greater user control over what is shared and with whom; and
minimization of the amount of data about users that Facebook keeps
in storage for no clear reason. But Schrems and his allies --
particularly numerous across the German-speaking Internet, where
memories of surveillance under both the East German regime as well
as the Nazis have made privacy concerns particularly acute -- do
not plan to stop with enforcement of existing law. Ultimately,
they believe, Facebook's excessive power over peoples' digital
lives can only be broken by a Europe-wide law requiring open
technical standards for social networking platforms."
