Facebook now Meets Canadian Privacy Requirements

Last year, Canada's Privacy Commissioner reported that Facebook fell short of privacy requirements because it was collecting information that was available to others without making this clear to the users. Since then, Facebook has made a number of changes to its privacy procedures, basically providing the users the option to choose who the information can be made available to. last week, the Privacy Commissioner announced that Facebook now meets the requirements. For an outline of the announcement and its background, check out this article.
