Facebook Trades Users' Information - Confronts Wrath!

Facebook #-Link-Snipped-# currently facing up severe repressive action, when it was reported that it traded all the users' information it had gathered over the years, to advertisers. The European Commission is working on a provision which would block the manner in which it collects information regarding their political opinions, sexuality, religious beliefs along with their their whereabouts.

#-Link-Snipped-#With the help of advanced softwares, Facebook gathers personal data from peoples' actions on this social networking, no matter what their privacy settings are, and then make it accessible to the advertisers, stated the report. Nevertheless, a new European Commission directive would be launched in January, which will shun all these advertisements, unless any user himself permits it. This may somehow protect the identity of the users.

Although information to a great extent is gathered on the US computers, Facebook may be facing legal action soon if it doesn't meet the norms of the new legislation. The vice-president of European Commission, Viviane Reding said the the directive aims to improve the present European data protection laws keeping in view all the technological developments all over and also to maintain consistency to deal with various violating firms all over the EU. Facebook all the same refuses to admit that it ever shared the uses' personal information with some third-party.
