Canadians Clear Facebook's Privacy Changes
Facebook’s sweeping overhaul of privacy in May this year have received the seal of approval from Canadian authorities.
Canadian privacy commissioner Jennifer Stoddart said her office was finished with its investigation into the way Facebook’s third-party applications obtain user data, the Washington Post reports. She specifically mentioned her satisfaction with Facebook’s decision to require users to give permission before sharing personal information with third-party applications such as games.
The office is still reviewing other complaints about whether some Facebook user information is available too broadly on the web, such as invitations to other sites by Facebook and sharing when users click on its “like” feature with other sites.
