Facebook allegedly flouts European law

Facebook is currently at loggerheads with Belgium’s Privacy Protection Commission over data protection and privacy issues.

This issue started when the Belgian privacy monitor picked a hole in Facebook’s revised privacy policy.

After studying the document, the privacy watchdog, came out with a report, saying "Facebook trampled on European and Belgian privacy laws."

They also said that the social media giant did not co-operate with investigators.

In a rebuttal, Facebook’s spokesperson said "Facebook is already regulated in Europe and complies with European data protection law, so the applicability of the efforts is unclear."

Adding that Facebook ensures that its users have control over what they share and who they share it with.
