Facebook Faces the Canadian Privacy Commissioner

dakohli writes "Canwest's Sarah Schmidt writes that Facebook has until Monday to find a way to fix its 'serious privacy gaps.' And if the Canadian Privacy Commissioner isn't happy with the Web Company's response, then she has two weeks to push it to the Canadian Federal Court in Ottawa. 'A spokeswoman for the commission said it's premature to say whether the feud will end up in court. This would be an international first for Facebook, which has grown to more than 200 million users since its launch in 2004.'"

I am sure the Canadians are happy to pay the salary of their Privacy Commissioner. He keeps them safe! ... and if they don't want to pay the Commissioner's salary, then nice men with guns will come and take their house away.
