Group: Facebook Missed Data Protection Deadline
- TechCrunch, Wednesday, April 4, 2012 3 AM
Facebook denies that it missed a March 31 deadline to comply with European data protection laws. TechCrunch says the social network, based internationally in Ireland, is working on changes that will be implemented in time for a later deadline of July 31. The pressure group, europe-v-facebook.org, was formed last year after some Austrian students filed 22 privacy violations against Facebook. It is now encouraging consumers to make formal complaints to the European Commission.
