“Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation, which went into effect in May of this year, requires companies to notify regulators of breaches within 72 hours, under threat of a maximum fine of 2% of world-wide revenue. The information potentially leaked via Google’s API would constitute personal information under GDPR, but because the problem was discovered in March, it wouldn’t have been covered under the European regulation”.

“The Facebook-WhatsApp pairing had been a head-scratcher from the start. Facebook has one of the world’s biggest advertising networks; Koum and Acton hated ads. Facebook’s added value for advertisers is how much it knows about its users; WhatsApp’s founders were pro-privacy zealots who felt their vaunted encryption had been integral to their nearly unprecedented global growth.
This dissonance frustrated Zuckerberg. Facebook, Acton says, had decided to pursue two ways of making money from WhatsApp. First, by showing targeted ads in WhatsApp’s new Status feature, which Acton felt broke a social compact with its users. “Targeted advertising is what makes me unhappy,” he says. His motto at WhatsApp had been “No ads, no games, no gimmicks”—a direct contrast with a parent company that derived 98% of its revenue from advertising. Another motto had been “Take the time to get it right,” a stark contrast to “Move fast and break things.”

“The departures raise questions about Instagram’s future at a time when Facebook faces its most sustained set of crises in its 14-year history. For much of the past two years, critics have railed against Facebook for being careless with user data and for not preventing foreign interference across its network of more than two billion people”.

“Si les militants ne reprochent pas à Facebook d’avoir fermé la page Resisters et ne remettent pas en question l’existence d’une tentative de manipulation, ils s’offusquent de la disparition de l’événement. « Facebook ne supprime pas des pages d’extrême droite organisant la haine, mais ils suppriment ceux qui essaient de la contrer », a ainsi réagi ShutItDownDC. Dylan Petrohilos a, quant à lui, fait référence au choix de Facebook de ne pas supprimer les contenus négationnistes, en dehors des pays où le négationnisme est illégal.”

“Les informations, qui pouvaient être récupérées très facilement sur le site de Polar, sont très sensibles. Obtenir l’identité, voire l’adresse de résidence, d’un officier d’une agence de renseignement ou d’un militaire déployé à l’étranger en zone sensible peut être le prélude à des mesures de rétorsion contre lui-même ou sa famille. Les informations recueillies peuvent être exploitées par un service étranger, voire compromettre sa mission si elle est remplie sous une identité d’emprunt. Elles peuvent aussi trahir l’identité de certaines sources. Les identités réelles des officiers de renseignement et de leurs sources sont des informations protégées par la loi. En France, révéler l’identité d’un officier d’un service de renseignement ou de sa source peut être puni de cinq ans de prison et de 75 000 euros d’amende”.

The security camera commissioner has said he is concerned about quantity of false positives

“Facial recognition software used by the UK’s biggest police force has returned false positives in more than 98 per cent of alerts generated, The Independent can reveal, with the country’s biometrics regulator calling it “not yet fit for use”. The Metropolitan Police’s system has produced 104 alerts of which only two were later confirmed to be positive matches, a freedom of information request showed. In its response the force said it did not consider the inaccurate matches “false positives” because alerts were checked a second time after they occurred”.
