Two days after Facebook announced simplified privacy controls, Congressman John Conyers, head of the House Judicairy Committee, sent a letter to Facebook asking them to cooperate with federal regulators looking into its privacy policies.
Mr. Conyers asked Facebook to provide details about it sharing member information with third parties and about it privacy policies. Mr Conyers didn't indicate if the House Judicairy Committee was starting an investigation. However several privacy groups have lodged complaints with the Federal Trade commission.
Lets see if Facebook new rules will convince regulators. Based on their trackrecord, they have not always followed up on their promises...
