protection policy framework and new
measures implemented in the US and
EU. In Mr Sherman’s exchange with
PCPD senior executives, the PCPD
i nv i t ed h im t o open l y commi t t o
Hong Kong Facebook users that they
would be accorded the same privacy
protection safeguards that applied to
US and EU residents. These safeguards
include measures introduced as a
result of the Irish Data Protection
Commissioner’s audits and the US FTC
settlement (such as obtaining express
consent from users before overriding
t he i r p r ivacy s e t t i ng s , t o honou r
deletion requests within 30 days, and
not to make misrepresentations about
their privacy protection).
The PCPD stressed that Facebook
should provide clear, transparent and
accessible means by way of their
privacy policies, privacy warnings,
privacy settings and other tools to
empower individuals to control their
own personal data. Facebook was also
requested to establish an education
programme for Hong Kong users to
reach out to them to explain how
their Facebook settings could be used
effectively to protect their personal data
privacy, and what to do in case they
fell victim to cyber bullying or cyber
flaming on Facebook.
