Online companies like Facebook and Google must provide their users with a sense of authority when it comes to privacy, according to Jac sm Kee, womens' rights and information and communication technologies project coordinator at the Association for Progressive Communications.
"Users need to feel that they have control over what happens to their personal data and who has access to it because it is part of their sense of self," she explained.
Ms Kee added that this feeling of control would certainly not be provided by the "complicated" opt-out privacy policy that has been adopted by Facebook.
Her views emerged after Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and chief executive of Facebook, wrote in the Washington Post on May 24 that the social network "just missed the mark" with changes to its privacy policy aimed at allowing users "easier control over their information".
Mr Zuckerburg said that Facebook will make its privacy settings much simpler to use and provide members with an easy way to turn off all services from third parties.
