The U.S. Federal Trade Commission used a live Facebook chat as part of the government’s roll-out of a new privacy framework.

The FTC did acknowledge that Facebook has already modified its privacy policies.

The agency’s revised guidelines can’t be enforced unless lawmakers turn them into legislation, which certainly could happen in the future.

Meanwhile, the FTC made three broad recommendations:

  • Privacy by Design: Companies should build in consumers’ privacy protections at every stage in developing their products. These include reasonable security for consumer data, limited collection and retention of such data, and reasonable procedures to promote data accuracy.
