Noting "social media" as websites and applications that primarily exist for social networking.
Defining social media as websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking. Which one is it gonna be, then?
Appalled by the actions that many unscrupulous social media companies have taken to increase revenue.; especially with regards to using user-generated content to track users without their consent, target advertising at these users, and even sharing it with third-party data brokers.Listing some of these actions, including, but not limited to, using user data to track a user's device's location without the user's consent, using user devices to listen in on conversions that a user has with other people for the purpose of targeted advertising, and illegally storing the data of a user without the user's consent and selling the data to third-party data brokers.Therefore,Concluding that it has become apparent that action must be taken to curtail these abuses.Mandating that the storage of user data by social media companies that are otherwise unnecessary to carry out the site's functions without the explicit consent of the user is strictly prohibited, the selling of any user's data to third parties, without the full and clear consent of the user, is strictly prohibited, and that using user data for advertising and tracking without user consent is hereby strictly prohibited. All social media companies must also create terms of service statements that are clear and concise to all users, stating, in detail, what the company will do with any data that is shared with the site.
Hereby:
- Prohibits social media companies from storing user data that is not needed to carry out their social media website's functions, or from transferring any such data to third parties, without the explicit consent of the users concerned (except when it is required under national or international law);
- Further prohibits social media companies from using user data to track, or to assist in targetting advertising towards, users without the explicit consent of the users concerned;
- Mandates that all social media companies formulate terms of service for their social media websites which can be easily understood by an average and reasonable user of that website, and contains (at a minimum) a detailed statement concerning what the company will do with any data shared with the website; and
- Recommends that all other companies produce similar terms of service for their websites or applications, where relevant.
