Law Students File Privacy Complaint Against Facebook

The Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic, has filed a privacy complaint against Facebook. I’m not so sure how significant this really is since it appears to simply be a finding by a team of law students. The group of students analyzed the Facebook’s policies and practices as part of a clinic course this past winter and identified specific practices that appear to violate the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.

As Facebook expands their global reach, they continue to face risk of violating international privacy laws as witnessed in this complaint.
