European Privacy Regulators Take Coordinated Action Against Facebook
An anonymous reader writes: European privacy regulators from as number of countries has made a coordinated action against Facebook for violating data protection laws. The French CNIL has sanctioned Facebook with a 150,000 EUR fine, and the regulator from Netherlands is considering a similar action. Regulators are concerned with new privacy policies of Facebook, lack of transparency, cookie handling and tracking Facebook users on third-party sites -- all without user knowledge or control. Such coordinated move is unprecedented in the history of European data protection regulators.

People would talk to each other. Folks would have something to do besides click Likes. Cancer would suddenly be cured.
God bless you.

We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
For about a week until Gesichterbuch and livre de visages get launched.

I'm afraid that we would then have food riots in 10 months time due to the incredible population growth...
