the Office for Protection of Competition and Consumers has opened the proceedings on Facebook. UOKiK examines the "rules of data collection and transmission".
the doubts of UOKiK is the fact that the company Facebook Ireland, explicitly indicates that "the use of data collected and the procedure of their submission to other organizations." It is the users of the social network do not know what information is collected about them, how long stored, and who fall.
In the course of the trial, analyze the rules of collection and transmission of user data. Check also that contracts may otherwise violate the rights of consumers – says-FZ Marks and he didn’t want to. – Similar activities are being undertaken in other countries. The European countries all pay more attention to large Internet platforms that seemingly are free but consumers pay for the use of their personal data, he adds.
it May seem that the majority of Internet users know that nothing is for free, but it is good that UOKiK draws attention to it. Actually the fact that users do not have knowledge of what happens with the information on their topic, is alarming. And the state needs to check and control the big corporations that they should not feel unpunished and did not have the impression that in the territory of each country they are allowed. We drew attention to it, when in Germany the suggestion was that Facebook was paying the penalties for false messages – local politicians proceeded from the assumption that the government needs to put pressure on the company. Does the same thing now UOKiK.
"the investigation is carried out for chiseled UOKiK is in fact, not against any person or entity" – according to UOKiK, but stresses that "gathered information can lead to charges and excitation against the owner of the proceedings for violation of collective interests of consumers."
