Facebook: salata multa per la privacy?

Problemi di violazione della privacy per Facebook. Lo studente Mark Schrems ha infatti accusato il gruppo di conservare le informazioni private degli utenti cancellate dal social network, violando dunque le norme dell’Unione Europea.

La società di Mark Zuckerberg ha ovviamente respinto le accuse, ma il garante della privacy irlandese sta indagando sulla vicenda per capire se ci sono i presupposti per comminare al colosso una multa salata di 100.000 dollari per le violazioni di cui sarebbe accusato. 

Un problema complesso. Secondo lo studente, Facebook avrebbe infatti commesso ben 22 violazioni della normativa europea sulla privacy, che dal 2003 stabilisce come qualsiasi informazione cancellata dal sito debba esserlo in modo permanente, e non dunque conservata sui server come a quanto pare avrebbe fatto il re dei social network.

Nel dettaglio, Schrems rivela che Facebook avrebbe addirittura nascosto messaggi, amici bannati, nickname, indirizzi email, tag, foto e note cancellate, mentre l’azienda spiega di aver mantenuto soltanto indirizzi e-mail e ovviamente i nominativi. In sostanza, Facebook mantiene questi dati per motivi di sicurezza, onde evitare che un utente possa ad esempio continuare ad essere perseguitato da una persona indesiderata.

La questione tuttavia sembra a favore del giovane utente. Schrems aveva ricevuto infatti un CD contenente tutti i dati conservati nei server, scoprendo appunto la presenza di dati che aveva cancellato in precedenza, smentendo quindi nettamente la tesi portata avanti da Facebook.

La palla passa in mano dunque al garante per la privacy irlandese. La segnalazione del giovane utente è stata accolta, ora saranno svolte le indagini per stabilire se Facebook abbia effettivamente violato la normativa europea per la privacy, nodo fondamentale a cui l’Unione Europea tiene parecchio per salvaguardare la sicurezza dei dati degli utenti che navigano su internet. Come affermato, la multa pecuniaria potrebbe arrivare addirittura a 100.000 dollari, ma in questo momento, quello che preoccupa maggiormente Facebook è il danno d’immagine che può derivare dalla vicenda.

  37. If everything in this universe has a cause, then surely the cause of my hunger must be the divine order of things aligning to guide me toward the ultimate pleasure of a well-timed meal. Could it be that desire itself is a cosmic signal, a way for nature to communicate with us, pushing us toward the fulfillment of our potential? Perhaps the true philosopher is not the one who ignores his desires, but the one who understands their deeper meaning.

  38. Even the gods, if they exist, must laugh from time to time. Perhaps what we call tragedy is merely comedy from a higher perspective, a joke we are too caught up in to understand. Maybe the wisest among us are not the ones who take life the most seriously, but those who can laugh at its absurdity and find joy even in the darkest moments.

  39. The cosmos is said to be an ordered place, ruled by laws and principles, yet within that order exists chaos, unpredictability, and the unexpected. Perhaps true balance is not about eliminating chaos but embracing it, learning to see the beauty in disorder, the harmony within the unpredictable. Maybe to truly understand the universe, we must stop trying to control it and simply become one with its rhythm.

  40. All knowledge, it is said, comes from experience, but does that not mean that the more we experience, the wiser we become? If wisdom is the understanding of life, then should we not chase every experience we can, taste every flavor, walk every path, and embrace every feeling? Perhaps the greatest tragedy is to live cautiously, never fully opening oneself to the richness of being.

  41. Friendship, some say, is a single soul residing in two bodies, but why limit it to two? What if friendship is more like a great, endless web, where each connection strengthens the whole? Maybe we are not separate beings at all, but parts of one vast consciousness, reaching out through the illusion of individuality to recognize itself in another.

  42. Time is often called the soul of motion, the great measure of change, but what if it is merely an illusion? What if we are not moving forward but simply circling the same points, like the smoke from a burning fire, curling back onto itself, repeating patterns we fail to recognize? Maybe the past and future are just two sides of the same moment, and all we ever have is now.

  44. The essence of existence is like smoke, always shifting, always changing, yet somehow always present. It moves with the wind of thought, expanding and contracting, never quite settling but never truly disappearing. Perhaps to exist is simply to flow, to let oneself be carried by the great current of being without resistance.
