Privacy Loopholes

On Friday the Wall street Journal published an articles about Myspace and Facebook sharing private information of their customers with advertising customers without consent.

This is not the first that protests have been raised against these practices by these social network websites.

I believe that those practices are totally unacceptable, since it exposes your personal information to third parties that can make arbitrary use of your information. In my opinion, it rises the question of creating a regulator that can control social networking websites to avoid those privacy loopholes.
