Der deutsche Datenschutz fordert Facebook auf, die Realname-Pflicht im sozialen Netzwerk zu beenden, schreibt IT World (via blog.fefe.de):
„This decree is binding,“ said Weichert, who added that it is unacceptable that a U.S. portal like Facebook keeps violating German data protection law. To ensure users‘ rights and comply with data protection law in general, the real name obligation must be immediately abandoned by Facebook, the ULD said. The orders were issued on Friday against Facebook USA and Facebook Ireland, which is responsible for all Facebook’s activities outside of the U.S. and Canada. (…)
Facebooks Antwort?
„We believe the orders are without merit, a waste of German taxpayers‘ money and we will fight it vigorously,“ a Facebook spokeswoman said in an emailed statement.
Immerhin ehrlich.
