Culture minister Ed Vaizey's proposals would update and make more concise current code for privacy online

Individuals would be able to get redress against internet companies such as Google or Facebook if they feel they have invaded their privacy, under a code of internet conduct being proposed by the culture minister, Ed Vaizey.

The code would be an updated and more concise version of the code for privacy online (PDF) which is used by the Information Commissioner's Office.

Facebook said of the proposals: "We look forward to hearing more about Mr Vaizey's plans and continuing to work with both him and the ICO." Google declined to comment.

Why not make the users rights simple. Available on a one page document, so people will actually read it, and then allow damages for any breach of these rights. Do not allow the companies to set privacy rules.
