Want to freak yourself out? I'm gonna show just how much of your information the likes of Facebook and Google store about you without you even realising it
— Dylan Curran (@iamdylancurran) March 24, 2018
1. https://t.co/1z255Zt1zf Google stores your location (if you have it turned on) every time you turn on your phone, and you can see a timeline from the first day you started using Google on your phone

2. This is every place I have been in the last twelve months in Ireland, going in so far as the time of day I was in the location and how long it took me to get to that location from my previous one pic.twitter.com/I1kB1vwntT
— Dylan Curran (@iamdylancurran) March 24, 2018
3. https://t.co/qFCgY6QLN5 Google stores search history across all your devices on a separate database, so even if you delete your search history and phone history, Google STILL stores everything until you go in and delete everything, and you have to do this on all devices
— Dylan Curran (@iamdylancurran) March 24, 2018
4. https://t.co/QRfgwkNj80 Google creates an advertisement profile based on your information, including your location, gender, age, hobbies, career, interests, relationship status, possible weight (need to lose 10lbs in one day?) and income
— Dylan Curran (@iamdylancurran) March 24, 2018
5. Google stores information on every app and extension you use, how often you use them, where you use them, and who you use them to interact with (who do you talk to on facebook, what countries are you speaking with, what time you go to sleep at) https://t.co/RJeRlXhtdq
— Dylan Curran (@iamdylancurran) March 24, 2018
6. https://t.co/5B6qxUvrJz Google stores ALL of your YouTube history, so they know whether you're going to be a parent soon, if you're a conservative, if you're a progressive, if you're Jewish, Christian, or Muslim, if you're feeling depressed or suicidal, if you're anorexic…

15.

50 milioane/30 milioane/270,000
18 martie '18Faptele, asa cum au fost anuntate de Facebook:
1. Facebook a anuntat vineri ca a suspendat/blocat activitatea companiei Strategic Communication Laboratories impreuna cu divizia lor de research, Cambridge Analytica.
2. Cele doua companii au fost implicate in campania electorala din SUA, lucrand pentru actualul presedinte, Donald Trump, si au fost infiintate de Robert Mercer, unul dintre cei mai importanti donatori ai lui Donald Trump. Cambridge Analytica a fost condusa de Steve Bannon, fostul „strateg sef” candidatului Trump, plecat recent din echipa lui de la Casa Alba.
3. Facebook a anuntat ca datele a 270,000 de useri ai platformei au fost folosite de catre cele doua companii fara a avea acceptul Fb. Datele au fost preluate de la o alta companie, Global Science Research, care dezvoltase o aplicatie “thisisyourdigitallife”.
Faptele, asa cum s-au intamplat:
1. Anuntul Facebook de vineri seara a avut loc pentru ca sambata The Guardian a publicat povestea „datelor” „culese” de Cambridge Analytica. Facebook a incercat sa blocheze materialul pana in ultima clipa insa cand au inteles ca articolul va aparea, au dat drumul comunicatului de presa.
2. Facebook a stiut de acum doi ani ca datele userilor au fost utilizate in scop electoral. In 2017 au mai avut o confirmare. Abia vineri seara au anuntat, sub presiunea presei care punea intrebari, ca datele a 270,000 useri au fost folosite in afara retelei.
3. Unul dintre cercetatorii de la Global Science Research este acum angajat Facebook

4. Facebook a mintit public despre datele detinute de Cambridge Analytica inclusiv luna trecuta, intr-o audiere in Parlamentul Britanic:
Last month, Facebook’s UK director of policy, Simon Milner, told British MPs on a select committee inquiry into fake news, chaired by Conservative MP Damian Collins, that Cambridge Analytica did not have Facebook data. The official Hansard extract reads:
Christian Matheson (MP for Chester): “Have you ever passed any user information over to Cambridge Analytica or any of its associated companies?”
Simon Milner: “No.”
Matheson: “But they do hold a large chunk of Facebook’s user data, don’t they?”
Milner: “No. They may have lots of data, but it will not be Facebook user data. It may be data about people who are on Facebook that they have gathered themselves, but it is not data that we have provided.”
5. Conform mai multor surse, Cambridge Analytica detine datele a 50 milioane de useri Facebook, iar pentru 30 milioane datele sunt complete.
1.7 secunde
8 martie '18Cam atat „sta” un user pe o reclama in feed-ul mobil de la Facebook.
“With transparent viewability data, we learned that the average view time for an ad on a mobile newsfeed is 1.7 seconds – little more than a glance – pushing us to innovate.”
De aici.
S-a lansat stiricurate.ro
17 februarie '18Google a finantat cu 210,000 euro o platforma „pentru politicieni, consultanti politici si patronii de media”.
Claudiu Saftoiu, project manager:
Stiricurate este o platforma care agrega, pentru prima oara in Romania, acele topicuri relevante care apar in presa online. Este practic un ajutor de nadejde pentru mai multe categorii de useri, atat pentru jurnalisti, cat si pentru consultanti politici, pentru politicieni, dar si pentru patronii de media care au la dispozitie intr-un singur loc, pe platforma stiricurate.ro toate sursele relevante care au creat un topic care se repeta si e preluat de cat mai multe entitati de presa.
Primii care au facut agregare au fost cei de la hotnews.ro, pe vremuri revistapresei.ro, back, hathat prin 2000-2001.
La ora la care scriu acest post, sambata, 17 Feb 2018, 10.44, din cele 20 de stiri care apar pe prima pagina:
Cinci sunt de la Romaniatv

Opt despre modificarile in Feed anuntate de Facebook
15 ianuarie '18Am postat initial pe facebook, completez mai jos ceea ce am spus vineri:
1. Cea mai importanta si dominanta retea sociala, unde sute de milioane de oameni isi petrec timpul, admite public ca “sistemul” nu prea functioneaza asa cum trebuie.
2. Zuckerberg ar face orice pentru a “iesi” din “business-ul” de stiri. Toate problemele Fb din ultimii doi ani sunt din cauza fake news urilor, iar incercarile de a rezolva problema – vezi flag-urile – au esuat. Mark Z stie ca daca nu rezolva problema repede risca sa fie “regularizat/reglementat” de guverne/congrese/autoritati.
3. Schimbarea vine dupa ce au pus la punct sistemul de aprobare al reclamelor, din vara timpul de aprobare a crescut semnificativ ceea ce inseamna o atentie sporita pe fiecare reclama care intra online.
4. Costul reclamei va creste pentru ca toate brandurile vor vrea sa ramana in atentia userilor si vor plati, iar spatiul de expunere in fata userului va scadea (la un user cu 50 de likeuri de pagini, din care 20 se promoveaza, userul va vedea maxim 10).
5. Siteurile de stiri vor plati pentru ca sunt dependende de traficul generat de Fb, unele in proportie de +50% din total trafic. Si vor plati cata vreme costul traficului generat din Fb este mai mic decat costul reclamei pe care o vand pe siteurile proprii.
6. Si aici vine partea frumoasa, reciteste punctul 3, pentru Fb va fi mult mai usor sa controleze stirile care vor intra in Feed, vor intra doar stirile platite care trec de aprobare plus stirile postate de useri. In afara de reclamele platite, in feed vor mai aparea stirile share-uite de useri in grupul lor. Cele mai multe „fake news-uri” s-au viralizat prin promovare, userul a vazut stirea, a fost atras de titlu, nu a stat sa verifice daca e autentica sau nu, i-a dat share. De acum inainte, putem presupune, doar anumiti useri, cu o anumita influenta, vor avea „capacitatea” de a genera viralizarea stirilor, Fb analizand ca un astfel de influencer nu isi va risca reputatia prin propagarea unor stiri false si le va verifica inainte.
7. Publisherii/siteurile de stiri vor constata cu surprindere ca de fapt nu au nici un fel de audienta, iar sutele de mii de fani nu mai genereaza trafic nici cat toata redactia la un loc.
8. In relatia cu producatorii de content/publisheri/siteuri de stiri e o alta schimbare care e win-win pentru Fb si lose-lose pentru creatori. Dupa Instant articles si „investiti in video”.
Cumpara chinezii Protv-ul?
22 noiembrie '17Stirea zilei:
Conglomeratul chinez China Energy Company (CEFC), care în decembrie anul trecut a semnat preluarea pachetului majoritar al grupului KMG International, fostul Grup Rompetrol, s-a aliat cu grupul financiar ceh Penta Investments pentru a prelua Central European Media Enterprises, proprietarul Pro TV, de la gigantul media american Time Warner, scrie Reuters, citând 3 surse apropiate tranzacției. Oferta este de aproximativ 500 de milioane de euro (587 de milioane de dolari), CEFC fiind dispusă să asigure cea mai mare parte din finanțare.
Asa cum o prezinta Reuters pare ca se doreste preluarea companiei, ceea ce implica operatiunile de pe cele 4 piete: Cehia + Slovacia, Bulgaria si Romania.
La cele 500 milioane euro se adauga 1.1 miliarde USD datorii, care vor fi preluate, ceea ce duce tranzatia la 1.7 miliarde USD. Probabil Penta isi pastreaza Cehia si Slovacia, Bulgaria va fi vanduta unui player local iar Romania ramane chinezilor. Sau cele doua grupuri isi impart toate tarile. Ramane de vazut daca americanii vor vinde „regiunea” catre chinezi.
Detalii aici.
Bursa evalueaza negativ participarile Naspers la eMAG/OLX
22 noiembrie '17Mai e interesant: Unul dintre cei mai mari acționari Tencent, cu un pachet de 33%, este Naspers, care deține și 76% din retailerul online românesc eMAG. Capitalizarea Naspers pe bursa din Africa de Sud este de 105 miliarde de euro, sub valoarea de piață de 146 miliarde de euro a participației pe care o deține în Tencent. Ceea ce înseamnă că piața evaluează negativ deținerile Naspers în toate celelalte afaceri, inclusiv eMAG sau Olx.
E cam absurd dar asta e ce crede piata.
De aici
