Interesting commentary this last week about Facebook and their duty of care regarding private and confidential personal data.
I’ve long held the view that with these Media moguls at Google, facebook, et al making billions of dollars profit, they should re-invest some of it into disabling or at least much better management of abuse and misuse of the Internet. Simple Corporate Governance and Social Repsonsibility will point them in the right direction.
I’m certain the technology and techniques exist, yet the fiscal will to ‘go do’ is or has been sadly lacking.
If Business, Consumer and Legislature are to be satisfied in their need for a secure yet free internet/digital environment, such disciplines and financial investments must be put in place; sooner rather than later. Better to be pro-active on these matters than to be forced into a knee jerk or straight-jacket.
Or perhaps its just me who thinks this way? …..
