Facebook's is building a data center in Singapore, a country with a poor record on freedom of expression according to human rights groups.
In his blockbuster blog, Mark Zuckerberg boasted that Facebook has chosen not to store data in countries that"have a track record of violating human rights like privacy or freedom of expression."
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch tore into Zuckerberg, claiming his"rhetoric on secure data storage is taking a back seat to the convenience of operating in Singapore."but it hasn't taken long for the shine of some of his pronouncements to be dimmed. "If we build data centers and store sensitive data in these countries, rather than just caching non-sensitive data, it could make it easier for those governments to take people's information," he said.
