Social Networking users in Europe may ask for deletion of user data

EU citizens should rejoice. Now the privacy of its citizens in the social networking increasingly tightened. European Economic Community will require that Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other large Internet companies to remove all user data if the user wants it.

EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding said 70 percent of its citizens are very concerned about the information circulating in cyberspace. "The protection of personal data is a fundamental right for all citizens of Europe," he said. Unfortunately, not all residents feel fully in control of personal data uploaded online.

"The rules are strong, clear, and uniforms of the European Union will help," he said. One of the points in these rules is the company must notify the Social Networking users (customer) within 24 hours that their information has been hijacked. The policy was taken from the incident hijacking user account  Playstation from Sony a few weeks ago.
