You can put down your pitchforks and torches. An investigation by thePrivacy Commissioner of Canada found three recent complaints against Facebook were either unfounded, resolved, or both. Considering most government privacy audits end with demands for specific changes, this looks like a win for the folks at 1 Hacker Way.The Commissioner's only criticism was that it was "disappointed that Facebook hadnt anticipated the widespread privacy concerns that followed the launch of its friend suggestion feature". That feature was widely misinterpreted to be accessing user email accounts without consent. It wasn't, but Facebook may need to assume that its past mistakes and years of privacy fear-mongering by the media will lead people to assume the worst.
