Canada's privacy czar will launch a fresh investigation into Facebook's privacy controls, after complaints that recent changes make it more difficult to protect personal information. It was Canada's privacy czar, Jennifer Stoddart, who forced Facebook to agree to better protect users' personal information last year, and the new investigation will look at complaints that new default settings make information more readily available than they were previously. "Some Facebook users are disappointed by certain changes being made to the site - changes that were supposed to strengthen their privacy and the protection of their personal information," says Elizabeth Denham, the assistant privacy commissioner who spearheaded last year's investigation.
