While Facebook users continue to spread false information about privacy on Facebook, officials in Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are taking a very real look at recent announcements by the social network.
The Office of the Irish Data Protection Commissioner said it is seeking “urgent further clarification” from Facebook about the changes it proposed last week to its data use policy and statement of rights and responsibilities, and Deputy Data Protection Commissioner Gary Davis said in an email to Bloomberg:
We will be seeking urgent further clarification from Facebook Ireland and, if we consider that the proposed changes require a specific consent from European Union users, we will require Facebook to do this.
We note that this is the consultation stage of the process, and that until that stage is over, these changes will not be tabled to users.
