The advocacy group, EPIC, says the privacy issues Facebook brought up earlier this week with it's short-lived Terms of Service Agreement update may not just go away. While they are happy that Facebook made a step in the right direction by voluntarily reverting to their previous Terms of Service Agreement, they said that until official privacy laws are in place, this will still be a major issue in the social-networking arena.<\/p>\n

For privacy advocate group EPIC, a victory isn't yet so clear. “It's great that Facebook has responded, and I think thats a step in the right direction–but these issues dont go away, and it's going to be an ongoing concern for users of new network-based services until we get comprehensive privacy laws in place,” Rotenberg says. In the immediate future, EPIC plans to keep a close eye on Facebook's progress and the rights of its users. Rotenberg promises he and his colleagues will step in if the need arises–and won't hesitate to appeal to the FTC if it becomes necessary, either.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
