ARTICLE 29 DATA PROTECTION WORKING PARTY | Opinion 5/2009 on online social networking

2024-03-15 14:45:32+00:00

Revisiting this mid-2009 PDF from the EU regarding “SNS” or “Social Networking Services”, is a delight of then-vs-now-isms, e.g.:

Typically, access to data (profile data, postings, stories…) contributed by a user is limited to self-selected contacts. In some cases however, users may acquire a high number of third party contacts, some of whom he may not actually know. A high number of contacts could be an indication that the household exception does not apply and therefore that the user would be considered a data controller. https://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/documentation/opinion-recommendation/files/2009/wp163_en.pdf
