Little Brother Is Tagging You - Legal and Policy
Implications of Amateur Data Controllers,
Computer Law International (CRi), 2010-4, p.
101-109.
This article argues
that the instances in which amateur users will fall
under the ambit of data protection law are not the
exception, but rather the rule. Based on an analysis
of the provisions of the European Data Protection
Directive, the article demonstrates that existing
data protection law burdens amateur users with
provisions that exceed the personal, technical and
financial capacities of most Social Network Sites
(SNS) users, that do no fit the SNS context or that
users are simply not able to comply with without
assistance from the SNS provider. While it is
unacceptable to burden amateurs with a number of
obligations that exceed their capacities, it is also
not feasible to place all the burdens on SNS
providers, since many of the privacy problems of
SNSs are in fact user-made. All this points to a
concept of joint-responsibility of SNS users and
providers. The article concludes with a number of
concrete suggestions on how such a concept of joint
responsibility could be given form.
