10:27 In Europe they want more control over personal information in the network | |
Today, Council of Europe Commissioner for Information Society and Media Viviane Reding made a formal statement, which called attention to the problem of loss of control over personal information about you on the web. In other words, information about yourself slowly "creeping" on the web, and sometimes do not know where their data can "light up". It is understandable that many people want to keep their own information under control - for example, sometimes the user wants to delete all my information from the web, but you can not already has spread so that and not gather. So, Viviane Reding said that the lack of such opportunities is an important issue in violation of the law on protection of personal information, which was adopted in 1995. This was long before there were social networking, but the law has not lost its relevance, rather the opposite. "Privacy protection is the fundamental law. To protect your rights, we must develop a transparent and robust laws for the protection of personal data. We also need to update our laws to bring them into line with reality, "- commented Viviane Reding. For example, she considers it necessary to develop a tool that will allow erase from the web any mention of the human person, who wished to become less "visible". It is clear that not all information can be erased in this way, but at least the initial steps needed to do, said the commissioner. According to the Rending, people should be able to control your personal information, and should have the right to be "forgotten" when it comes to the web. Now private information that can be found in social networks or through a search service, greatly affects the life and work of many people. Sometimes inadvertently come on the information may lead to dismissal or divorce. Now the European Commission launched the process of discussing this issue and decided to create at least a rough draft to address the issue in 2011. European lawmakers want to minimize the collection and use of personal data of users. "We need to be informed about where, how, by whom, how and how long our personal information will be used," - says the treatment Commissioner. Personally, I have long thought about such problems - the information is really "spreading", and even not that all this is removed, it is difficult even to understand what and where goes where is stored information of a personal nature. It would be nice if the Europeans could at least come closer to solving this issue. We wish them good luck? Via Yahoo | |
