Facebook and privacy

You might be interested to know that my chapter on Facebook, social networking sites and privacy (with Ian Brown of the OII) is now available as a pre print on SSRN. This pretty much crystallises many of the talks on SNSs and facebook etc I've done in the last year or so.

See
Edwards, Lilian and Brown, Ian, "Data Control and Social Networking: Irreconcilable Ideas?" (June, 20 2008). Law and the Future of Data Control Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1148732

THis chapter will appear in Matwyshwn A ed Harboring Data: Information Security, Law and the Corporation (Stanford University Press, 2009).

Apologies for lack of meaty comment - afraid all my efforts are currently going in to the 3rd edition of Law and the Internet which will deo volente be with you in the autumn.

Also, remeber to get in your GikIII 3 submissions!! We've already had some wonderful abstracts involving virtual worlds and games theory, Dr Who and IP rights, autonomous agents as slaves in Roman law etc etc - but we need more!!
