The original version of this article unfortunately contains mistakes. The corrections are given in the following list:

• 1. In the ‘The New Normal’ section, third paragraph, sentence three reads: “Free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) and self-determination are universal human rights that mean little to Facebook consumers since the psychological cost is unknown and residual to the social network experience.” The sentence should read: “Self-determination is a universal human right that mean little to Facebook consumers since the psychological cost is unknown and residual to the social network experience.”

• 2. In the ‘Political Rights’ section, sentence four reads: “All that is needed is for privacy—a human right demanded in the form of FPIC—to be violated [9].” The sentence should read: “All that is needed is for privacy—a human right—to be violated [9].”

• 3. In the ‘Conclusions’ section, first paragraph, sentence two reads: “Free, prior and informed consent without truly being informed opens a Pandora’s box.” The sentence should read: “Informed consent without truly being informed opens a Pandora’s box.”

• 4. In the ‘Conclusions’ section, sixth paragraph, sentence three reads: “If modern technology is harnessed to take information from an individual without FPIC, such data collecting is a violation of the rights to privacy and expression.” The sentence should read: “If modern technology is harnessed to take information from an individual without informed consent, such data collecting is a violation of the rights to privacy and expression.”
