From the article:
The FTC report offers Facebook and other companies a few strong suggestions: companies should design their services with consumer privacy in mind, develop reasonable security protections and policies for the information collected, and consider the sensitivity of the information. For example, digital signs that gather information should also consider the environment, especially in places where children congregate.
