データ取り扱い 今年もさらに厳格化
Facebookが許可なく個人情報をコンサル会社に提供していた事件、
大統領選でトランプに優位に働くようにデータを分析されていた可能性があるとのことで調査がされてますが、
Facebookに限らずGoogleの親会社のアルファベットやツイッターも調査されており、
該当の会社はじめ多くの企業（特に個人データを多く取り扱う企業）へ個人情報取り扱いが一層強化されていきそうです。
情報は企業が自由に流出させない、従業員にも取り扱い厳守を徹底する、セキュリティを強化しデータを盗まれない事。とデータを扱う企業へ求められる事がふえていくことでしょう。また、流出事故の際は企業価値がこれまで以上に下落すると思われます。
今年の日本もこの手の事件が目立ちそうです。
こういった事態に備えてセキュリティ会社が強くなってきたり、
不正からの立て直しを行うビジネス（大手監査法人Big4の特にDがよく行っている）などは需要が増えていきそうですね。
以下、本日のBloombreg：Facebook事件について記載

The U.K. government will direct Facebook Inc., Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Twitter Inc. and other tech companies to simplify their data management policies for consumers after disclosures about recent breaches, the Sunday Times reported.
Matt Hancock, the U.K. digital, culture and media secretary, told the newspaper that the digital powerhouses were failing to provide users with clear and concise terms and conditions for how personal data is used. His goal is to get the information onto one page.
Facebook’s service agreement has more than 3,700 words and Twitter has 11,000 words, the newspaper said. The government has summoned executives from Facebook, Google and Twitter to a meeting in April to discuss data management practices.
“People are bewildered by pages of unwieldy terms and conditions,” Hancock told the newspaper. “I want these boiled right down so people can see in one glance what they’re signing up to. I want the big platforms to answer questions and demonstrate they are willing to change.”
Revelations that London-based Cambridge Analytica used personal data from more than 50 million Facebook accounts in its work for the campaign of President Donald Trump has turned up the heat on the social media behemoth.
U.K. Law
Hancock’s planned meeting coincides with the U.K. Parliament’s consideration of a data protection law that would enable the government to impose heavy fines on tech companies for mishandling their customers’ data. Members of the U.S. Congress are calling on Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg to testify on the company’s practices.
Facebook’s shares have skidded about 14 percent since the disclosures a week ago.
On Sunday, Zuckerberg vowed to protect consumers’ personal information in full-page advertisements that the Menlo Park, California-based company ran in many British newspapers.
“I promise to do better for you,” Zuckerberg pledged in the ad carried on the back pages of the newspapers.
The U.K. privacy watchdog early Saturday completed a seven-hour search of Cambridge Analytica’s London offices, as part of a larger investigation into the use of personal data and analytics by political campaigns, social media companies and other businesses.
“We will now need to assess and consider the evidence before deciding the next steps and coming to any conclusions,” according to a statement.
