An audit of Facebook s operations by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner in Ireland will result in major changes to the way the social networking giant manages user data. The 143 page report, issued on Wednesday, calls on Facebook to give users more control over how their personal information is used and shared on the Facebook Web site and by third party applications. Facebook will provide clearer disclosure around features such as the facial recognition feature Tag Suggest. The new requirements come in response to complaints from users in Europe about the wholesale harvesting and storage of their data.
