Facebook exacerbates privacy rules

The social network, Facebook, has announced today that it will publish privacy principles for the first time through several educational videos so that it can help users check who has access to their information, broadcast Reuters.

These Facebook preparations come after the tightening of the new European Union law on data.

These videos will show how to manage Facebook data to display ads, how to hide old posts, what happens to the data when an account is hidden, Facebook private chief Erin Egan said.

Facebook, which currently has more than 2 billion users worldwide, has stated that it has never published such principles, which show how the company uses information from those using this network.

Today's reports are a sign of efforts to prepare before the General Rule for Protection of EU Datas is empowered in May, marking the largest review of privacy rules, by the functioning of the internet.

Based on this regulation, companies will be required within 72 hours to report any case of data damage as well as consumers have access to and erase data.

We know people use Facebook to date, but not everyone wants to share everything with everyone, including us. It's important that we offer more options when it comes to how the” data is used, Egan wrote.

New regulation increases the possibility of punishing companies in case they violate the data protection law.
