Senators call for regulating Facebook privacy policies


Four Democratic senators during a press conference Tuesday expressed concern that the popular social networking site Facebook is not being careful when it comes to protecting the privacy of its users.

New York's Charles Schumer, Colorado's Michael Bennet, Alaska's Mark Begich and Minnesota's Al Franken sent a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg urging the company to revisit its recent controversial privacy policy and better safeguard user's personal information.

"While Facebook provides a valuable service to users by keeping them connected with friends and family and reconnecting them with long-lost friends and colleagues, the expansion of Facebook - both in number of users and applications - raises new concerns for users who want to maintain control over their information," the senators wrote.
