EPIC – Facebook Revises Privacy Policy

“Facebook has again revised its privacy policy. Despite the new graphics, Facebook continues to collect and disclose enormous amounts of user data without meaningful consent. The use of location data has expanded dramatically. “We collect information from or about the computers, phones, or other devices where you install or access our Services,” states Facebook. These include “device locations, including specific geographic locations, such as through GPS, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi signals.” Facebook is currently under a 20 year consent decree with the Federal Trade Commission as a consequence of a complaint brought by EPIC and coalition of consumer privacy organizations.”
