The Irish data protection commissioner (DPC) issued his assessment (pdf) on Friday of Facebook’s compliance with recommendations the regulator made last December. The DPC, who was forced into the issue following complaints by a group of Austrian law students calling themselves “Europe v Facebook,” had told Facebook it had to be more upfront about giving users privacy choices.

The review suggested that Facebook had “fully implemented” most of the DPC’s recommendations, and those that had not been implemented would be taken care of “with a clear timescale” in place.
