As of Monday, the Belgian-Facebook match is ON - let the rhetoric war
begin!!!
Belgian privacy body: "Facebook is as bad as the NSA!"
Facebook: "If it weren't for our infosec cookies, Belgium would become
a cradle for cyber terrorism!"
The "Facebook is spying on people all over the world,
just like the US National Security Agency" charge was made by lawyers representing the Belgian data protection authority during Monday's opening statements in a court battle over privacy.
Zuckerberg's machine is doing the same type of
mass surveillance that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden brought to light - just in a different way, they said.
The Guardian quotes Frederic Debussere, representing the Belgian privacy commission (BPC):
When it became known that the NSA was spying on people all around the world, everybody was upset. This actor [Facebook] is doing the very same thing, albeit in a different way.
