Rather, it appears that Aleksandr Kogan, who wore dual hats as a psychology researcher with Cambridge University and as an entrepreneur, collected the data through a third-party app on the Facebook platform, using Facebook’s API under the auspices of being an academic He then sold or transferred the data to Cambridge Analytica is a failure in what privacy expert Ann Cavoukian terms “privacy by design.” In designing its app developer tools and permissions Facebook should have created more protections for user privacy and taken into account the risks of third-party data use Another way Facebook could have prevented this scandal is giving users more information on how third-party apps use their data and offering more choices to users on how to manage it Users should be able to understand where their data goes and who has access to it advertisers would be less inclined to advertise on Facebook The site’s features would also be less personalized to users which would likely make their experiences less engaging One could also argue that consumers simply don’t care that much about privacy and don’t care to learn more Tech companies like Facebook also have to navigate a confusing array of different often conflicting privacy laws from different countries Governments could also do more to stop this kind of privacy violation Lawmakers have long been pressuring tech companies to do more to solve a wide variety of problems These pressures have intensified in the wake of the 2016 election as exemplified by the tense Senate tech hearings last fall Amy Klobuchar and Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey are now calling for investigations into Facebook and Cambridge Analytica the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee are even calling for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify before Congress blaming Facebook and other tech companies for privacy harms is not effective if the government doesn’t create consistent actionable standards—both rights and regulations for companies Ultimately, some responsibility should also fall to us, as consumers. We have created the privacy environment that allows for these violations to happen. We freely give up our data to various apps we reap the benefits of many new technologies including technologies that rely on use of personal data You can blame Cambridge Analytica for using your data or the government for not regulating either But if the public really cares about preventing this kind of privacy violation we need to change our social understanding of privacy and how data should be collected and used we should stop being surprised when our most personal information is inevitably misused Read more from Slate on Cambridge Analytica ShareSaveInnovationConsumer TechFacebook Wades Into Another ElectionByJanhoi McGregor [+] media and social networking service Facebook / AFP PHOTO / LOIC VENANCE (Photo credit should read LOIC VENANCE/AFP/Getty Images) when a user clicks on an election-related article they’ll also be offered information on the different policy stances of the parties running for office The information is composed by the parties themselves a link to the official Facebook page is listed instead This is another tool in Facebook’s arsenal to direct people away from fake news at a crucial time Whereas other measures to combat deliberately false news reports focused on informing the reader that the content they’re reading could be false Perspectives actually directs their attention away from the article There’s also the added bonus of presenting people with policy proposals rather than through a potentially biased news outlet A quick scan through the trending feed will show far fewer articles from dubious news sources working with independent fact checkers to point out label and remove fake news purveyors having an effect This, I suspect, is the real reason Facebook has made strong moves to combat fake news on its platform. Not because it feels it has a moral duty, but to avoid the legal nightmare of having to comply with awkward regulations in every country it operates in. The resources that would have to be spent to comply are presumably huge, especially if other countries follow suit. So expect to see more from Facebook as it attempts to clamp down on unsavory material being published on its platform, because if it doesn’t, the only other option is heavy, costly regulation. ABC News News HomeFrench police destroy more than 1 million fake luxury itemsShare French police destroy more than 1 million fake luxury itemsTopic:Crime French customs agents look on as counterfeit items are destroyed in Vertou, western France. (AFP: Frank Perry) Link copiedShareShare articleFrench authorities have destroyed more than 1 million counterfeit items, including fake Hermes bags and designer perfumes, in events staged across the country. Commerce minister Nicole Bricq, attending one such event at Chilly-Mazarin, south-west of Paris, said it was "an economic crime that hits all sectors, destroys our jobs and threatens consumers." Ms Bricq said they led to huge losses for the economy, putting the figure at 6 billion euros ($8.46 billion) annually. The items destroyed at Chilly-Mazarin and in major cities such as Marseille, Bordeaux, Lyon and Rouen included fake design-wear bearing names like Dolce&Gabbana, Dior and Lacoste, counterfeit Rolex watches and shoes, telephones and toys. The market for fake goods has burgeoned. In 1994, the customs service intercepted 200,000 items and the figure ballooned to 8.3 million in 2011. French officials say nearly 70 per cent of the products came from Asia and about a third of the orders were placed through the internet.
