Irish Regulators Satisfied with Facebook Changes

Irish regulators have announced they will not seek further legal action against Facebook for violating EU privacy laws. Facebook has an Irish headquarters, and Ireland has threatened to take action against Facebook over the last year because of Facebook's lack of privacy protections. From the Reuters article:

It was told by Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner last December to overhaul privacy protection for its users outside the United States and Canada after a probe found its privacy policies were too complex and lacked transparency. 

The regulator said it was particularly encouraged by the decision to turn off a piece of facial recognition technology, the so-called "tag suggest" feature, for new users in the European Union and by next month, existing users as well.
