Facebook: our cookies keep you safe from cyber terrorists! [nakedsecurity.sophos.com]

As of Monday, the Belgian-Facebook match is ON - let the rhetoric war begin!

Belgian privacy body: "Facebook is as bad as the NSA!"

Facebook: "If it weren't for our infosec cookies, Belgium would become a cradle for cyber terrorism!"

The "Facebook is spying on people all over the world, just like the US National Security Agency" charge was made by lawyers representing the Belgian data protection authority during Monday's opening statements in a court battle over privacy.

This could get interesting...

Hey... look squirrel..!

meanwhile..today the official website of the President of France went live..complete with tracking buttons from facebook..
[elysee.fr...]
Apparently the CNIL [webmasterworld.com...] ( the French data protection authority ) have no problem with facebook ( and the 3 letter agencies behind them ) tracking visitors to his site..

and the French laugh at "les Belges"..whom they consider dumb and slow witted..

I don't...
