Facebook has begun rolling out an updated version of its Download Your Information tool that gives users more access to their account history on its site. The move adheres to recommendations made by the Office of the Irish Data Protection Commissioner in December following an investigation into Facebook's privacy practices. However, Max Schrems, an Austrian student whose complaints kicked off the probe, isn't satisfied. Schrems has complained that the social networking giant is in effect holding out on consumers by releasing information in only some of the 84 categories it maintains.

It is unprecedented idea in the world of the internet that Facebook enables users to download their own dossiers. This is great as it also provides availability for more information to be shared with conserving privacy. Though Ireland represents the headquarters for activities of Facebook, Europeans cannot have full access to their data.
