Facebook Says Some of Your Personal Data Is Its 'Trade Secrets or Intellectual Property' | Techdirt
Claiming that certain aspects of your personal data is "a trade secret or intellectual property of Facebook Ireland Limited or its licensors" seems pretty extraordinary. Schrems is not letting things rest there, though, and has contacted the Irish Data Protection Commissioner to pursue the matter further. Meanwhile, Facebook has released a statement on the matter:
We are cooperating fully with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner who will come to a view on Mr Schrems’ complaint in due course.
I can hardly wait for that view - and for Facebook's response if it requires the release of some "proprietary" data.
