Facebook Under Investigation in the UK

The UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), is investigating Facebook’s data protection policies after complaints by users that they couldn’t fully delete their profile. This has been an ogoing issue with Facebook as users are forced to manually delete all wall posts, messages, photos, friend connections and personal data in order for it to disappear. For someone with thousands of messages, hundreds of friend connections and numerous photos and wall postings, this process can be not only tedious overwhelmingly time consuming.

For Facebook, data security is increasingly important as they hold the personal information of over 60 million users, half of which use the site on a regular basis.
