Dear All.
Apologies for any cross posting.
In a situation where a MySpace site is being utilised, from within the
UK, to post personal data in respect of another individual.
1. Does the person who's space it is, need to register with the
commissioner as a data controller? (The OIC says probably not but
'Lindquist' is going on in the back of my mind)
2. Does the DPA, jurisdictionally speaking, have any say at all? (For
info: I believe MySpace is subject to the laws of California)
Yes, there is potential remedy through MySpace in respect of a breach of
their own terms and conditions, but it's the DPA angle/take that I'm
interested to discover - if there is one.
Thanks,
Gerry
