This is interesting, but also should be a reminder that online properties effectively operate in multiple jurisdictions and need to keep in mind that there are a myriad of privacy laws out there.
Has anyone been able to find source documents that describe the details? Like you said, Facebook seems to cover this pretty well in their policy. After the commentary in Jerusalem, it's sad to see another regulator head down the path of formal notice and consent.
