Some of the networking sites such as Facebook are US based organisations which maintain their computers in the USA. How can they be in breach of the UK's DPA?

On the subject of photos...

User photographs can still be found on many social networking sites even after people have deleted them, Cambridge University researchers have said.
They put photos on 16 popular websites - noting the web addresses where the images were stored - and deleted them. The team said it was able to find them on seven sites - including Facebook - using the direct addresses, even after the photos appeared to have gone.
Question: which DP principles does this breach?
Me thinks: One, two, three and five
