Christmas party, priceless. There are some things in life you

would rather forget. But when it is all up online, that can be harder

than you think. This week, we look at plans to stop websites from

keeping everything we have ever done. We report from Sweden as the

country prepares for a new kind of tourist - a space to rest. We will

also look at ways to keep you safe online in Webscape.

Welcome to Click. When you sign up to a social networking site and you

posed photographs and make friends, who owns that they turn - you all

leaf, should you be able to take that material with you? Be raised

the embarrassing bits and permanently to lead it? Or two

websites like Facebook and Google Chrome that 80? The European

Commission has launched a directive to put you back in charge of your

data. ta. This video was put out by the

European Commission to warn people to be less free and easy with the

data a share online. While many of us surrender hour personal details

willingly, the European Commission are

aware of the bargain they are striking or adequately protected by

protection directive aims to put people in charge of their data,

reversing the assumption that the data online companies harvest is

theirs. Of course it is not their day to have. The principal point is

that you must admit as a company that you are renting data from an

individual. Once this is accepted, you must be aware that can be taken

away from you. Companies cannot go foraging for

date that in the wild and pretend th they find is theirs. The

idea at the heart of the new directive is that personal data is

personal - it always belongs to you. Customers -- companies should not

be able to leave you lost in the woods about your data. They should

ask your permission if they want to process it or sell it on. In other

words, they have got to talk to you - which is more than Google or

Facebook it for us. They refused to talk to us. Facebook will be happy

to tell you if there has been a serious breach or if your data has

been compromised in any way because according to the directive, they

have also got to do that. Companies can only hold on to the exact date

they require to do what you want them to do. They cannot go on

fishing exercises and keep hold of what they find West long as they

want until they work out a way to make money out of it. You also have

the right to delete your data. Companies cannot move at that date

it to another folder on their server. This Austrian student

alleges that Facebook did just that. We found a not a day to that

Facebook is generating in the background and also a lot of

information that was previously "deleted". There were messages, all

posts, books from years ago that were all still in these data

suggest. There are even day to categories like friends removals.

Facebook is not a meeting any of that and so far nothing has

happened. -- not in deleting any of that. Facebook maintains that the

way their service operates is in keeping with European data

protection law. The important thing about this new directive is that

there are actual penalties. In the past, it was only steer good

companies that stuck to the law because there were no penalties. If

there is no penalty, no-one ever sticks to the law. That is the big

exam teach -- advantage in the new Data Directive. The fines up to the

new directive go up to one million euros for an individual or a 2% of

turnover for an enterprise. For Google, that would mean several

hundred million euros. That would really shake their business model.

They have made it so much money out of consumer data without ever

paying any individual for the data that they have used. Now they

should be worried about their business model. This will rebalance

the interest in society. Consumers should be able to control their

data. All well and good for European consumers but what about

the rest of the world? Will companies be able to exploit

international disparities in regulation? The critical thing is

that any data from which an individual can be identified should

be protected. What happens, as is the case with Google and Facebook,

they say they are collecting information anonymously. But what

happens when that data is then sold it to other organisations who put

that information together with other information about you from

other sources? Suddenly, you can become identifiable. One of the

main differences from these new proposals is that it data is going

to go outside the two, it must be subject to the same high levels of

data protection as it is within EU member states. That will be

reassuring to users of websites like Facebook and Google. That

means that cross-referencing data will be regarded as personal data.

Europe has thrown down the gauntlet with this directive. It is yet to

be seen how the right to be forgotten will sit with pre-

existing rights like the right to free speech. Maybe we should be

able to roll up the car that of our own personal histories behind us.

But does that include something that someone else has written about

us that we simply do not like? you have a website that has

material talking about me that I would have the right to force you

to take that day to down, we think that would be a violation of your

right to free speech. Some of the more radical versions of the right

to be forgotten would contemplate that. Other versions are more

strictly limited to regulating large companies that collect

personal data for mercenary purposes. And regulation of that

kind of man I would not be a problem. Within Google Plus, Google

intends to create what could be the largest database of personal

information by allowing its different applications to cross-

reference and share our data. Facebook has launched time lined -

again without opt-out - this function uses more personal history

data. Is this a trend - companies inventing uses for all our data to

head off criticisms that they are using -- hanging on to all our

data? The risk is that websites like Google and Facebook might

reveal to users just how much they know about them, spruik then and

lose them. Instead of losing personal data of their customers,

these companies could end up losing their trust.

Interesting times. Do you think these companies needed to be reined

in or is the bargain clear from the out set?

Time for this week's Ten News. Twitter faces legal action in the

Court of Brazil for allowing users to Tweet about police roadblocks

and speed traps. If Twitter loses the case, they could end up being

find themselves $100,000 per day. Google and Facebook say they have

complied with the request of a court in India and removed material

considered offensive from their website. The companies along with

Yahoo! and Microsoft were the owners of a number of websites

accused of being intolerant to religious groups. Last week, India

threatened to block the websites if they did not comply. Apple has

picked Samsung to take the global smartphone crown. They are the

number one phone manufacturer only four years after entering the

market. Both BlackBerry maker r a m and Nokia saw best lines in

popularity continued. Google has released a beta version

of its popular Google Chrome browser for smartphones and tablets

that run its new version of its operating system for 0.0. Not that

there are many of them at the moment. It is fast, simple and

phone the 4th seamless browsing. However, it will not support flash,

extensions and clad in his. In the last decade we have taken

the next giant leap from space travel as the sole preserve of

scientists and the military, to space travel for all. Space travel,

just for fun. A new world conquered, the human imagination captured.

Space travel seemed like every child's dream. One small step for

man, one giant leap for mankind. Those children have grown up, it is

more than 42 years since Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, the

tracks are still visible today. But, so far, space travel has been

limited to a few men and women, mostly professionals with the

occasional tourist paying upwards of $20 million for the privilege.

He became the driving force behind a special prize promising $10

million to the first entrepreneur who could put a shovel into space.

-- shuttle. This aircraft will be used by Virgin Galactic to send

ordinary men and women to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere. The

first flights are due to take off from New Mexico in the US next year,

three years later than originally planned. It is here inside the

Arctic Circle in the Swedish town of Kiruna that the European Space

hub for the venture could be based. This is the woman behind that

vision. There are a few places in the world looking to establish this,

none has come as far as we have. We want to build on our existing if

the shutter and tourism business that we have. -- infrastructure. We

are already offering space adventures. We have offered a

unique product called Northern Light Flights, it gives you the

opportunity to get closer and see the Northern Lights, but should

there be a cloudy day, it gives you the opportunity to fly above the

clouds to see the Northern Lights. This is the view many of us would

want to see with our own eyes. Some will have the privilege sooner than

others. After three days of training space to tourists will

travel to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere. Propelled at more than

three times the speed of sound, they will experience the zero

gravity for a few minutes before heading back to earth. It will cost

around $200,000. Forecasts say that in 2020 about 20,000 people a year

will be flying into space. The cost has come down significantly.

$200,000 to fly today, maybe in ten years' time it will be $50,000.

That is comparable to other experiences or consumer products. I

think space as an adventure is something that people dream about

and have done for years. Only 500 people have been into space. It is

because it is difficult. New developments are happening, more

people will be able to fly into space. Virgin Galactic are

developing a system were 500 people within the first year of operation.

The first flights are planned to start in 2013, out of the USA. We

will have operations a few years later. Space tourism is in its

infancy. The imagination for those making it a reality are boldly

going where no-one has ever been before. Space has always been a

platform for development. People have been curious about space as an

adventure but also to solve the problems we face on earth. New

resources for example. I think we'll see a revolution of new

products and services being developed. People who have gone

into space have always been soldiers, they have a mission, but

going forward we will have space hotels, music venues, Sport the

news. I think we are able to go further into space. -- sport venues.

Back into Terra Firma, we are visiting a different kind of space,

cyberspace. No-one can deny the power of social media. With great

power comes, corruption. The spammer and scammers are out in

force. We have our very own webby superhero. She does not wear a Kate

or address in lycra, much to the disappointment of her supporters. -

- dress in lycra. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It is the traitor logo.

to find a decent recipe at Gojee.com. It lets you search by

keyword based on the ingredients you want to use. Unlike a lot of

the other large recipe collections, it has recipes only written by food

writers. You can be certain of quality. They claim to have 10,000

recipes in the archive. That is double of AllRecipes.com. One of

the things I love best about this website of the huge mouth-watering

photographs that they used as a backdrop to the recipe. You cannot

help but start salivating at the thought of tucking into those

delicious, muffins and ice-cream Sunday's dripping with sauce. As

well as looking for food you fancy, you can tell Gojee.com what you do

not like. Altogether, a very tasty looking wet side with some

extremely fascinating contents and a must for all foodies on the

ITriage is a free Android app that acts as a tonic to this alarming

experience by providing diagnostic tools and advice. When you first

launched the app you'll have to search through a disclaimer. We all

know that nobody reads disclaimers, let me summarise this one, it is

kind of important. Using a Android app is no replacement for a doctor

if you are concerned about your health. It does a pretty good job

of helping you work out what might be wrong. I like the way this tool

works, it lets you locate the problem on an avatar and then

searched diseases. On the mayor iTriage section it becomes A&E

guide for your treatments and medical services providers. --

and it is taking place next month. The fundraising starts now. They

have launched an official app to celebrate. It is jammed with links

to news, pictures, video and ways to join in. It is very simple,
