READ WRITE WEB -- June 5 -- The Executive Director of Europe's top Internet security agency, ENISA, Andreas Pirotti, recently called for expanding EU legislation "to cover the taking of photos of people and posting them on the Internet," noting that there's no need to obtain consent before posting photos of others. In US the SNS regulation often focuses on the safety of children. Despite what may be good intentions, having government get involved with how SNS operate could be a very slippery slope, both in the U.S. and worldwide. Once you start demanding social networks comply with certain rules and restrictions instead of just being governed by their own TOS, you're literally impacting an entire industry.
