Facebook taken to court over privacy issues in the EU

#Fb#Privacy–Facebook taken to court over privacy issues in the EU :

The Belgian privacy commission is taking the US-owned Facebook to court as the latter allegedly doesn’t respect European privacy laws, The Guardian reported on Monday.The lawsuit will be heard on Thursday in Brussels, after a report by the Centre of Interdisciplinary Law and ICT at the University of Leuven in Belgium.

The report claimed the social network’s privacy policy violates European Union laws.

The whole mess started with the fact that Face book tracked people who were logged out of the network, as well as those who weren’t members of the social media site in the first place, all with the goal of placing advertisement. Facebook said the tracking of people that aren’t its members was a bug and that it fixed it.
