Privacy or "Encyclopedia of People"

Question

Google

Tell me, did any of you enter your first and last name in the search query string Yandex, Google or some other search engine? For example, I entered

In the search results of Google in the first place was a link to my Facebook account with a listing of all my friends right in the search bar. Isn't this private information from my profile with privacy settings "show only to friends"?

It is clear that paranoids in social networks have nothing to do, but they also don’t want to shine on every corner, especially if they didn’t give their permission to do so.

And here's where I'm going with all of this.

A little lower, on the same first page with search results, there is another link with my first and last name, leading to a certain site . I go over it and start to freak out!

Separately, it should be noted that I did not post any information about myself on this site . However, she is there!

I go to the “About the project” section and read the following:
“Social networks have entangled the entire Internet and all of us. However, it is difficult to understand what the person whose profile you saw is actually like. After all, it's not a secret for anyone that most people give not entirely truthful information about themselves :) ”

Well, in order to completely finish off, at the bottom of the page it is written:
“About the project “Encyclopedia of people”. Reliable information about people. Search for relatives, namesakes, friends and classmates with the ability to add and change information about people without registration .

That is, anyone can go there and add information about your place of work, car brand, phone number and who knows what else! How do you like this social graph?

In light of this, Tim Berners-Lee's dissatisfaction with the creation of closed content repositories, I think, is at least strange.

And now the question itself:
Doesn't the above site violate the human right to privacy ?

Answer 1

At least it violates the legislation of the Russian Federation on the protection of personal data. In order to collect, store and even more so show your personal data, you need to obtain your consent to this.

Answer 2

Isn't this private information from my profile with privacy settings "show only to friends"?

Have these settings always been like this? Relationships are open by default.
In general, it is strange to be indignant at the fact that the information available through the search engine turned out to be somewhere else. It is somewhat naive to believe that no one will ever see the information entered on some site, at least I remember several cases when a seemingly serious site leaks information to third-party services.
The situation reminds me of the naivete of a girl who allows herself to be photographed nude by some guys, and then wonders where her pictures came from on the Internet.

Answer 3

Either do not use the network, or reconcile.
But even if you choose the first, information about you will still be on the Internet. You just won't see it :)

Answer 4

Have you read The Light of the Past by Robert Shaw? It also describes a society where "privacy" has come to an end, albeit because of a different (fantastic) technology. And, as it were, the conclusion is made that you just need to get used to living, knowing that you can’t hide anything :)

Answer 5

The site may in good faith be mistaken in believing that this data is publicly available.
You can demand to remove them, if they refuse or ignore the demand, then you can safely sue, because they are unlikely to be able to prove that you gave Facebook (or anyone else) permission in writing to make them public . Yes, and Facebook can submit that it has made your data publicly available. It probably won’t work on Google, it is an aggregator, but you can also demand to exclude this information from the search results. But this is on the condition that you did not give such permission to anyone (it can be written in “small print”, for example, in the contracts of telecom operators)

Answer 6

Hmm, if they wrote “Serega-loch” on the fence, does this violate privacy?
Well, they made a big fence.

Answer 7

They can be easily sued, actually.
