Google and Apple are under Federal Trade Commission to fine penalty for Privacy violations.

United States government took strict actions against privacy violations of smart phones applications users, FTC (Federal trade Commission) fined the penalty to the  famous social networking company Path Inc $8 million ($800000) due to its violations of the user privacies.

My dear readers you don’t know there are so many companies and social networking sites which are playing with you like a ball. They are stealing your privacy and using it for some others reasons against their privacy statements. Most of the social networking sites users don’t like to read such a huge documents called User Agreement and Privacy statement. If you take some time please read it, there you can find that your privacy can not be used for any other purposes and will not be used by any third party. But unfortunately nobody is monitoring the sites that how truly are that true? How to know whether our privacy is used by third party or not? How to know that who among website officials and management is viewing and not stealing our data? This was the issue with only social networking site while, here is another point.

We use smart phones and we download various types of applications for and use it regularly. Everybody know most of the applications need to get access to some extent of your personal information before full using! So, this is the big technique used to get into user privacy. This really violates user agreements and the user doesn’t know anything that whets behind the screen.

My dear readers, you must know that in the field of smart phones 91% market share is the hand of Google and Apple!

FTC is now monitoring Google and Apple’s all applications which are offered with their smart phones. FTC is trying their best to find out that how much user privacy is violated by Google and Apple. Its might be possible that Google and Apple will be fined with huge penalty soon. This will be a good sign for consumers that after fines and penalties those all of companies will be aware of user agreements and privacy policies and will not let any further issue to raise due to use of their applications.

Now hope for the best, that new applications will be free of those issues.

Germany is the only country in the world which has too much strict privacy policies for all the websites working there. That’s was the reason behind the case that they filled in a court in Berlin against Facebook.

Case was filled by Germany’s privacy maintaining organization named as Watchdog.

Watchdog in its case told the court that, Facebook has too many members and most of them are fake account holders. In other words they said that, Facebook is using faking names and this is really disturbing for our (German) nationals. This could lead to a fraud or any type of other harmful behaviors, hateful speech against people or country or violence etc.

Facebook is known to be a strict privacy holder in the field of social networking websites. Recently it has made its privacy with new demand and standards.

In the court, Facebook presented their opinion that Facebook is free and always will be for the people around the world. Facebook representative in the court told the Judge, We are very strict in case of found/ reported any kind of violence, threat, harmful behavior, hate speech, specially if account holder is fake and using fake name for someone else.

Facebook is attacked with Malware & Data is theft by Chinese Hackers!

Facebook Employees laptops are hacked by a group of hackers in recent weeks, said by Facebook officials but they denied that any kind of Facebook data is theft by hackers.

On the other side, many of facebook users are facing problem while directing to Facebook. They are seeing an error when they try to connect Facebook from other sites. This is now a big and latest threat to any social networking site and unfortunately Facebook is continuously being attacked but facebook officials are denying of any theft of data why?

Facebook said none of its data is compromised in the attack, only a handful of employees laptops are infected with so called malware. Now, the question is that how much our privacy is being maintained by Facebook? Aren’t they failed to save privacy?

Another point to be noted is that, why Facebook passed too much time to announce the incident of attack? This arises so many questions in the minds of users! Its shows something is happening in dark but millions users don’t know anything.

It may be possible that data might have been theft from Facebook employees’ laptops and privacy agreement has been demolished by Facebook. Someone should deeply investigate this incident that whether data is theft or not. If yes, then how much data is compromised by hackers and what to do with Facebook if they failed to save users’ privacy?

A security specialist of that kind said, the attack was originated in China. Some other bloggers are talking about the point that why should not close your Facebook account because Facebook failed to protect users’ privacy. But, in my opinion that it’s not the main point to discuss immediately. This time we have right to know all detail about the incident and then we must take any action.

Facebook is continuously working on its privacy and protecting users’ data is their primary function. Facebook privacy statement is available at their official website; you can read their statement and agreement for better understanding.

In fact, malware attack on Facebook is a bad news for both Facebook and the users who have really something private detail of their lives. If private details of Facebook are hacked into via our emails and other web based content then it will be very tuff situation for Facebook to face.

Any website can be hacked which doesn’t have any strong anti-hacking systems and officials working 24 hours a day. This time Facebook is infected but we all know Facebook has highly experts for facing any kind of threat to their site. Now, we can only wish for best of luck to Facebook that it will comply with users’ needs and wants and will save privacy and private contents of all users
