Following a complaint from the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic, Canada’s Office of the Privacy Commissioner has wrapped up a serious look into how social networking site Facebook handles privacy and user information…and the findings do not show Facebook in a good light. The report notes that Facebook is obviously concerned with user privacy, but that that service has “serious gaps” in the way it operates and handles users’ personal information, and even violates Canadian law by retaining information on deactivated accounts for an indefinite period of time.
