Weekly Video: Facebook and the Canadian Government

By Mike McCready on July 27, 2009

Lately I’ve heard about these privacy concerns that the Canadian Government is raising regarding Facebook. Check out this new report talking about the concerns the Canadian Government has with Facebook’s privacy issues.

Personally, I think is over-hyped and blown up by the media and governments.  The  one thing that I do agree with is the concerns the Canadian Government has with the sharing of personal data with third-party game developers.  I think the privacy controls need to be more clear and possibly very strict as defaults and allow users to open their accounts up should they want to.  Check out the video below.

What are you thoughts?  Has your college/university had any concerns with Facebooks privacy policy?
