BBC NEWS | Americas | Facebook 'breaches Canadian law'

I saw this in one of the papers here the other day. I was hoping to find an online article.
Facebook's holding on to information has been a contentious issue for a long time, in many places. Recently, I was "refriended" automatically when a (Canadian) friend of mine reactivated his account. While I was happy at his getting back in touch, the "auto reboot" was slightly disturbing. Now it turns out that such an action is actually breach of Canadian law. It should be interesting to follow this story and see where it goes...
