BPI Chief Executive Geoff Taylor says that it’s time for web services and related companies to stop supporting similar operations. “It’s time to stop illegal sites like this building huge fortunes by ripping off artists and labels.

Le Commissaire à la protection des données et à la liberté d’information de Hambourg (CPDLIH) annonce qu’il a délivré un ordre administratif interdisant à Facebook de continuer à collecter pour lui-même des données des utilisateurs de WhatsApp. « Facebook a aussi l’ordre de supprimer toutes données qu’il a déjà transférées vers WhatsApp », prévient le gendarme de la vie privée. Sa compétence se limite au land de Hambourg mais c’est là que Facebook a choisi d’y implanter son siège allemand.Le CPDLIH note que WhatsApp et Facebook sont des entités juridiquement indépendantes, et que les deux avaient pris l’engagement il y a deux ans de ne pas partager les informations, pour rassurer les utilisateurs de la messagerie instantanée. Il voit dans le revirement l’expression d’une « tromperie » du public, et d’une violation des lois sur la protection des données personnelles.
