Max Schrems, an Austrian law student who has filed dozens of complaints about Facebook became the opportunity to sit down with Facebook’s European director of policy Richard Allen and another unidentified Facebook executive to discuss his concerns, especially about the “right to access”, which is a fundamental aspect of the European data protection law. This law entitles Europeans to know exactly what a company knows about them.

Schrems started to investigate about how Facebook treats privacy after he made a request to Facebook, where he received a file that was over 1,200 pages long, including everyone he had ever friended and de-friended, every event he had ever been invited to (and how he responded), a history of every “poke” he had ever received, a record of who else signed onto Facebook on the same computers as him, email addresses that he hadn’t provided for himself (but that must have been culled from his friends’ contact lists) and all of his past messages and chats, including some with the notation “deleted.”
