Consumer privacy has become one of an individual’s dearest possessions. The development and pace of consumer privacy to the digital society should not be adjust. To ensure privacy will be enhanced and preserved, digital technology should be mastered.

Facebook’s stance on consumer privacy in the digital age is privacy is a core component of the products and features the site builds daily. The site feels it is critical the site gives the three hundred, fifty million people on Facebook the ability to share what they choose with whom they choose while safeguarding the individuals’ privacy. Facebook has features with impact on privacy and security of consumer information. The features raise issues of retention, control, data collection and distribution. Some privacy issues raised may have legal consequences. The privacy features go beyond those of competing social networking sites.

Privacy in the digital age is in a fragile state. The business community has begun an effort at self-regulation. As the digital age is embraced, Congress, the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Commerce and the White House show interest in ensuring consumer privacy is protected. The consumer voice is being heard more clearly now in support of privacy protections through law and technology.
