Now their information is on these sites and there is little that they can do about it. I tried to delete my Facebook account but they would only allow me to deactivate it and held on to all my information anyway! I think information security is very important! I agree with the bill. I don’t think it will ever be passed but I do feel that an individual should have control of their own information and have the freedom to choose when they want it to be deleted! I also think facebook and all these other sites should be more forthcoming with their terms and conditions so that people are fully aware of what they are getting themselves into!

These bill of rights are just quick headlines for the a-list bloggers who put it together in the first place.

Nothing will change.

Don’t think so. The whole field is still so jmuch in development that what we think of today might bne obsolete tomorrow. We seem to forget that the majority of the world population isn’t even online yet. So maybe we are still in the phase of a Magna Carta.

Nice pie in the sky, Pollyannish idea that has no weight in the realm of commerce. The only reason most of these sites exist is to trade in the information you volunteer.

That’s all I would need as a user.

Period.
