各類機(jī)構(gòu)——從臉書到英國政府到街角那家你有一次留了郵箱的咖啡館—-預(yù)計到5月25日歐盟的一項規(guī)定會生效,于是正在用同一問題的不同變體填滿你的收件箱。
背景介紹:
當(dāng)我們注冊服務(wù)時(比如社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)、在線購物或推廣郵件),之前都是服務(wù)商提前在很長的一段注冊文字里面說:你們同意我們收集你們的數(shù)據(jù)吧,我們一般都看不到這個問題。然后服務(wù)商會提前幫我們勾上同意。而現(xiàn)在歐盟要求這個框不能你們服務(wù)商提前勾,要用戶自己勾。
現(xiàn)在微信都有歐盟條例!
思考題:
According the text, Facebook and the UK government are under the regulation of European Union.
詞匯:
under the regulation of sth: 受到…的管制
文章認(rèn)為,臉書和英國政府受到歐盟的管制。
原文說了他們預(yù)計到歐盟會出臺一項規(guī)定就開始做出了行動,說明他們確實(shí)會受到歐盟的管制的。所以這個說法是對的。
