Congress Has Few Questions For Facebook

Most of my friends are Facebook users. I also use Facebook, although sparingly. We're not allowed to use Facebook in the office and when I'm at home, my husband usually stays too long in the home office corner for Facebooking. A few hours ago, I've read about "Congress Has A Few Questions For Facebook" via SEO Centro. I never thought that there are certain issues that the giant social networking site needs to answer.

It was Reps. Ed Markey of Massachusetts and Joe Barton of Texas who asked the said questions and sent letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg based on the recent Wall Street Journal where it was stated that third party Facebook apps were selling off user information. Facebook is expected to give a full response by next week.

Here are some of the questions:

When did Facebook become aware of this series of privacy beaches?

What procedures do you have in place to detect and/or prevent third-party applications that may breach the terms of Facebook’s privacy policy?

To what extend has Facebook determined that data relating to minors 17 years of age and under were breached?
