Facebook, the social media giant, has been charged by India of intervention in election process through Cambridge analytica which is analyzing the five crore FB users personal data.
After dipping 9 percent since the New York Times reported the leak on Friday, shares of Facebook ticked up about 0.75 percent in Wednesday trading.
"We have a responsibility to protect your data - and if we can't, then we don't deserve to serve you". "One thing is clear though: Facebook needs to step up and respect its users".
Facebook, however, is now embroiled in scandal over the way the data of users and their friends is shared through the creation of third-party apps. There is no close friendship without deep trust, and there is no deep trust between two people who can't count on each other's word. Given the way our platform worked at the time this meant Kogan was able to access tens of millions of their friends' data. "Facebook has been, is, and will remain for the foreseeable future a "must buy" for most consumer-oriented marketers". So success for us is making sure that users are being - people are being represented well and that their data is being protected first and foremost. Click "Remove" to halt an app from accessing your data. "Facebook itself can not fully protect users from companies and people who want to make use of that information - nor does it seem to want to". They provided these certifications. "While this specific issue involving Cambridge Analytica should no longer happen with new apps today, that doesn't change what happened in the past". Essentially, we want to use the service.
Cambridge Analytica has emerged as something of a malevolent clown show, particularly in the light of the dogged reporting of Carole Cadwalladr in the Observer, the claims of whistleblower Chris Wylie, and, most recently, Channel 4's release of secret filming of executives from the firm speaking to an undercover reporter posing as a fixer for a wealthy client hoping to get candidates elected in Sri Lanka. Well, that list didn't go away, so this section was populated with people I'm connected to, even if I'm not friends with them on Facebook.
Authorities in both the US and the United Kingdom are investigating both Facebook and Cambridge Analytica. In this post, we will share useful tactics to achieve better organic reach in Facebook. "The big tech companies need to abide by the law and we are strengthening the law".

UEFA to Relax Champions League Player Registration Rules from Next Season

2018 iPhone X 2 could cost as little as £635
The components' authenticity can not be verified, and Geskin made identical claims in the lead-up to last year's iPhone X launch. That information, however, purportedly came from an "unverified" source and thus should be taken with a grain of salt.
Zuckerberg has apologized for weaknesses in the social network's policies that enabled an app to gain access to the personal information of 50 million users without their consent. We will ban any developer from our platform that does not agree to a thorough audit. But I do think that expecting people to completely understand the ways that their data can be used is somewhat unreasonable.
Eager to restore confidence and to get out ahead of any possible regulation, Facebook is now promising stricter limits on what app developers can do with user data. On FB, insta, social media and a slew of apps, you could be king or queen by virtue of your clicks! We will reduce the data you give an app when you sign in-to only your name, profile photo, and email address.
Protection of Personal Data: Facebook and other platforms have become increasingly, if belatedly, alert to the grave gaps in control over the transfer and use of personal data.
We keep an bad lot of personal information on our mobiles these days and, as a direct result, these devices know quite a lot about us. It's how they make their living - by offering highly targeted advertising options based on the data they have gathered on their users.
CORNISH: So on the one hand, you call Mark Zuckerberg's promises encouraging.
Beyond the steps we had already taken in 2014, I believe these are the next steps we must take to continue to secure our platform. "United Nations investigator Yanghee Lee said about Myanmar, "...everything is done through Facebook", but added, "I'm afraid that Facebook has now turned into a beast, and not what it originally intended".
