Google has launched a new experimental app that is an ML-powered Pinterest rival. The search giant is calls it Keen.

Facebook has filed lawsuits against individuals in the US and Europe over data scraping user information from its platforms.

Part of reason for the large user base for TikTok is centred on its for you feeds. The company shares how exactly that algorithm works.

The Official Trump 2020 re-election app was exposed to cyberattack.

Facebook has launched a voting information center to provide information on voting, and on how people can get registered and post ballots.

How does TikToks recommendation algorithm work

One of the most commonly used apps on smartphones in recent times is the short-form mobile video app TikTok.

Part of reason for the large user base for the ByteDance-owned video-sharing social network is centred on its for you feeds.

The feeds are short videos tailored for specific users, and are delivered on their profiles. Those curated videos are powered by TikToks recommendation system, making video streams unique to each users feed.

TikTok refers contents based on video ranking, which is built on a variety of factors. Initially, new users update their preferences opted by a new user, which the app takes to load up some feeds.

It is later adjusted to remove content that the user may not be interested. This process of refining continues as TikTok personalises the for you feeds.

The app also takes user interactions, video information and device settings to load and refine the feed.

One of the strongest indicators of an user like a specific type of video is the length of viewing time. If they seen the full video from the start, the pap would take that a high engagement.

While a video is likely to receive more views if posted by an account that has more followers, by virtue of that account having built up a larger follower base, neither follower count nor whether the account has had previous high-performing videos are direct factors in the recommendation system, TikTok said in a blog post.

Facebook files suits against individuals over data scraping

Facebook has sued individuals in the United States and Europe separately for using its platform to scrape users personal data.

The social network on Thursday said that the defendants were running a data scraping service and were abusing Facebooks platform.

This is one of the first times a social media company is using coordinated, multi-jurisdictional litigation to enforce its Terms and protect its users, Jessica Romero, Director of Platform Enforcement and Litigation at Facebook, said in a blog post.

The company as filed a suit against an individual who ran a data scraping service called Massroot8.

The service asks Facebook users to provide their login credientials on Massroot8s website.

This information, Facebook claims, were used by the individuals service to scrape user data from the social networks platform.

The individual has used a computer programme to control a network of bots, which pretended to be an Android device connected to Facebooks mobile app, Romero added.

In Spain, the social networking company has sued an individual for providing an automation software to give away fake likes and comments on Instagram.

Facebook claims that the defendants service was designed to evade Instagrams restrictions against fake engagement.

Googles version of Pinterest is called Keen

Google has launched a new app that will allow people to explore their interests and connect with other people with similar pursuits.

The Keen app, an experimental project via the search giants Area 120 initiative, was built in collaboration with a team at Googles AI research centre.

Keen is a web-based and Android app that enables users to spend spell out their interests and curate content from the web and their connections to fulfil their hobbies; something similar to how Pinterest operates.

Whether it is bird watching, gardening or cooking, Keen allows users to explore a range of topics, and share their collections with other.

Users can curate for themselves or others to build a collection of resources on topics they know well.

Keens can be private or public collections, which allows users to control what they share and who can contribute on their profile.

For all the Keens that users create, Googles search and its machine learning co-builds content related to peoples interests.

The new app has a gems feature for amateurs or people who are starting out on their hobbies.

Through this feature, users can add bits of content, like links, which act like the starting point for Googles machine learning to build additional content.

Official Trump 2020 app was exposed to attack

President Trumps re-election campaign app was exposed to attack as the applications code has revealed keys and other secure IDs.

The exposed keys could potentially reveal data on usernames and passwords. This will give access to different other parts of the app, including its Twitter API, according to a report by Website Planet, a cybersecurity website.

Security analysts Noam Rotem and Ran Locar discovered the security vulnerability in Official Trump 2020 app. The duo confirmed that the app exposes Google apps, Maps and Twitter keys, and Branch.io (mobile analytics) keys.

They added that no attempt was made to access any user information on the app as the initial vulnerability was sufficient to alert the Trump campaign.

While the exposed keys allowed access to many parts of the app, we concluded in our investigation that user accounts remained inaccessible through this vulnerability, Website Planet said in a statement.

The Official Trump 2020 app was developed for President Trumps re-election campaign, and it is available for download on iOS and Android.

The security vulnerability has been shared with Trump campaigns information security team and they have responded to the alert within a few hours, Website Planet said.

A security fix was released in a few days.

Facebook launches new voting information centre

As the United States gears up for its presidential elections in the next few months, Facebook is launching an information desk on voting.

The Voting Information Center is said to provide information on voting, how to get registered and posting ballots.

Our goal is to help register 4 million voters this year using Facebook, Instagram and Messenger, and help them get to the polls so they can hold our leaders accountable, Naomi Gleit, VP of Product Management and Social Impact said in blog post.

The social network says it has enabled about two million people register for voting in both 2018 and 2016 elections.

Facebooks information centre was built after the company surveyed potential voters and found about 62% needed more information on how to vote.

The information desk will attempt to answer questions on how to get registered to vote, or how to get set up for an absentee or mail-in ballot voting.

In recent weeks, social media executives have jumped in to pledge their support for the protest movement that emerged in response to the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. In a June 1 Facebook post, Mark Zuckerberg wrote about the need to fight for racial justice and noted, One of the areas Priscilla and I have personally worked on and where racism and racial disparities are most profound is in the criminal justice system. On the same day, Twitters Jack Dorsey tweeted Police policy reform now; he later pledged $3 million to Colin Kaepernicks Know Your Rights Camp. Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri recently promised to take steps to improve black users experience on the platform, and Googles Sundar Pichai published a blog post this week affirming the companys support for organizations working to advance criminal justice reform.

When it comes to the role these companies actually play in the criminal justice system, however, a different story emerges, according to defense attorneys. As things stand, law enforcement routinely gets access to private social media records, including direct messages, that it can use to investigate and prosecute suspects. But criminal defendantsa group in which poor people of color, particularly black people, are wildly overrepresentedcant make the companies turn over the same information, even when it could make their case. And at this very moment, Facebook and Twitter are fighting in court to make sure this doesnt change.

The dispute is about the Stored Communications Act of 1986, a federal law that prohibits an electronic communications service provider from sharing users communication and account records, subject to a list of exceptions. Theres an exception for law enforcement, but none for defendants. This sets up an imbalance in which privacy law is less restrictive toward the police than it is toward someone trying to prove their innocence. If youre accused of a crime, police and prosecutors can get a warrant to access your social media accounts, or other users accounts that could serve as evidence in the case. But if you go to these companies with a subpoena, they wont honor iteven if youve convinced a judge that the data might prove that someone else committed the crime, that a witness against you is lying, or that you acted in self-defense.

This state of affairs is intensely frustrating to defense attorneys, who in general are already outgunned by vastly better-resourced prosecutors. Jeffrey Stein, a public defender in Washington, DC, said that in serious felony cases, its almost automatic for the police to request and receive access to a defendants social media accounts. But information that could help his clients cases is generally out of reach.

In a criminal case, where an individuals life may hinge on whether the jury has a single reason to doubt a witnesss testimony, or whether to believe that your client acted in self-defense, social media often houses the most critical, case-shattering evidence, he said in an emailhardly a situation Congress could have foreseen when it passed the law in 1986. That is why law enforcement routinely collects it and uses it against our clients. But, as in so many other ways in our criminal system, the playing field is not level.

To be clear, social media platforms didnt create this imbalance. Generally, when they turn down a defendants request for user data, the law is firmly on their side. But occasionally, trial court judges have ruled in a defendants favor, usually based on the constitutional right to due process. Thats where things get interesting. In these cases, the platforms could simply comply with the order. Instead, they fight tooth and nail to resist it. In one California case, Facebook and Twitter appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court rather than hand over account information to a defendant, even after being placed in contempt for violating the trial courts order. (The Supreme Court recently declined to take the appeal, possibly because its not at the right procedural step.)

Excerpt from:

Facebook and Twitter Want to Keep the Justice System Skewed Against Defendants - WIRED

This article is part of the On Tech newsletter. You can sign up here to receive it weekdays.

Mark Zuckerberg likes to say that Facebook does more good than harm in the world. But Facebooks effect on the world is multifaceted and complicated, and the good cant simply make us forget the bad.

Without Facebook or a digital hangout like it, we might never have seen the bystander video of George Floyd pinned under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer, undermining the official account of Floyds death. Facebook gives everyone even a 17-year-old a printing press. Yes, that is often very good.

But on the flip side I think about the Philippines, where Facebook has been weaponized by powerful people to vilify and harass their enemies, and where the social network has contributed to a poisoned atmosphere in which even basic facts are in doubt. It is in poorer countries without strong democratic institutions where the good but also the harm of Facebook has been magnified.

Facebook has acknowledged that is has been slow to act in some countries and has more work to do to stop harmful abuses of its hangouts. But Zuckerbergs mathematical equation the good outweighs the bad is too simplistic.

Every time I think something positive about Facebook, I also hold in my mind the profound damage the company has done and that too should be an indelible part of Zuckerbergs legacy.

I am grappling with this again now because on Monday a court in Manila convicted a prominent journalist in the Philippines, Maria Ressa, and a former colleague of cyber libel.

Ressa and her defenders have said the legal case was an effort to silence news publications like Rappler, which she co-founded, that have been critical of President Rodrigo Duterte and his war on drugs that has left thousands of people dead and disappeared.

Davey Alba, my New York Times colleague, wrote a must-read article two years ago about the ways that Duterte and his allies employed Facebook to build a large base of supporters, smear opponents like Ressa and spread hoaxes.

Davey explained to me that Facebook gave Duterte the means to disseminate his message quickly and broadly. And the companys computer-rigged system that is programmed to circulate the most engaging (and often divisive) material lined up perfectly with the fear, outrage and anger that fueled Dutertes political campaign and then his presidency.

There were violent world leaders before Facebook, but as in other countries, the social network and an authoritarian were a match.

Ressa used Facebook to build an audience for her fledgling news organization. But she and other Rappler staff were also targeted on Facebook, and the news outlet devoted its time and resources to combat false information there. As an official Facebook partner, Rappler was tasked by Facebook to protect the Philippines from the worst of Facebook.

Alone, the Philippines shows the worst side of Facebook. But this is not an isolated case.

In Myanmar, Sri Lanka and beyond, theres a repeated pattern of Facebooks system rewarding the most outrageous or fear-mongering messages with more distribution, to grave consequence. And Facebook fails to address warnings about the abuses happening under its nose.

Yes, we want and need to bear witness to police brutality videos. But we shouldnt accept a genocide in Myanmar or the targeting of a journalist in the Philippines in exchange for it.

Members of Congress have been trying to get Jeff Bezos, Amazons chief executive, to testify in an ongoing investigation into whether big technology companies wield their power fairly. Amazons lawyer said on Monday that Bezos was willing to appear at a House hearing alongside other C.E.O.s. (Youll notice that is hardly an unqualified yes.)

Bezos is rarely in a position like this, facing questions that he is compelled to answer. Ill be watching eagerly, if it happens. But I can already tell you that it will be frustrating and pointless.

What Ive learned from congressional fact-finding sessions like this is that they are theater on both sides.

Too often, our elected officials use these moments to grandstand or catch executives in a lie, and corporate leaders just as powerful but unelected by the public say things that might be technically true but not all that revealing.

Both lawmakers and tech companies share the blame here.

Theres a false idea inside tech companies that members of Congress are too old or clueless to understand how tech companies work. But in one of the hearings last year of the House panel investigating competition in technology, both Republican and Democratic lawmakers asked important, probing questions. It was the executives from Facebook, Apple, Google and Amazon who mostly dodged those questions.

Im not a congressional expert, but I wonder if the format of these legislative accountability sessions needs some tweaks. One critic of tech companies has suggested having congressional staff members tape interviews with witnesses so there would be no time limits and less inclination to show off. A Washington veteran suggested to me that investigative hearings need to happen more frequently because there is a cumulative impact.

The power of big tech companies is an important matter of public policy. We should hold both our elected officials and the big companies we rely on accountable for what they do. The hearings as they exist now are unlikely to do this.

Speaking of investigations into big tech power : European regulators are questioning whether Apple abuses its power by setting onerous terms for app makers who want to reach iPhone and iPad users, my colleague Adam Satariano writes. The regulators are also opening a separate investigation to see whether Apple is blocking alternatives to Apple Pay on the companys devices.

Can a computer be your friend? Cade Metz, a New York Times tech reporter, has a nuanced look at virtual digital assistants that some people now turn to for companionship or to vent about their problems. Some researchers said leaning on chatbots prevents people from dealing with complex human relationships, but many psychologists and users say these digital helpers provide fulfilling emotional support.

What. Is. Going. On. In an alarming display of corporate vigilantism, six eBay employees were charged with harassing a Massachusetts couple who wrote an e-commerce newsletter by sending them boxes of live cockroaches, a Halloween mask of a bloody pigs face and other disturbing material. My colleague Natasha Singer writes that none of the employees now work at eBay.

No one loves carrots this much. (I recommend watching with the sound on for the full effect of webbed feet on pavement.)

Facebook says it was a mistake.But the UAW and AFL-CIO say it is censorship and illegal.

Here's what happened: In an ongoing online discussion earlier this month, Facebook had a work session abouta new tool on its Workplace platform, which is an employee communications systemsimilar to Microsoft Teams.

Facebook leadersdiscussed that the tool could provide content control, designed for administrators tocut down onbullying and harassment. One example givenby Facebook as a way to avoid workplace harassment is to remove trending words such asunionize.

The suggestion outraged the UAW and AFL-CIO unions andprompted the UAWon Mondayto call for a congressional inquiry into Facebook. In the wake of that, the social media giant now says itwillsidelineplans to develop the toolforcontent control.

Working families deserve better from Facebook. Not only do these tools need to be pulled, Facebook needs to apologize and condemn this effort to deny working families basic rights," said UAW spokesman Brian Rothenberg.

"Blacklisting is illegal," said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka in a statement Friday reacting to Facebook's example. "Employers censoring their employees speech about unionizing is illegal."

AFacebook spokeswoman told the Free Press content moderation tools are essentialto prevent bullying, but Facebook wastabling its plans.

While these kinds of content moderation tools are useful for companies, this example should never have been used and we apologize for it," said a Facebook spokeswoman in a statement. "The feature was only in early development and weve pulled any plans to roll it out while we think through next steps."

Facebook sells its Workplace platform to businesses "all over the world" to connect employees through chat and group messaging, a spokeswoman said. It was developing a new feature called "Hashtags" that would allow users to put a hashtag on a post to categorize it. A new tool would let a company-designated Workplace administrator delete a hashtagif that personfelt it was bullying or harassing.

Facebook executives wentonTwitter late Fridayapologized for the "unionize" example.

"Workplaces entire mission is to give everyone a voice, this is what were known for and what our customers buy our product for. There has been some buzz around a mistake we made earlier this week in sharing plans to employees about a new feature, called Hashtags," wrote Julien Codorniou, vice president of Workplace by Facebook.

In a string of five tweets, Codorniou also wrote: "An early mock screenshot of the feature used an example of a hashtag that could be removed by an admin, it was completely inappropriate and not focused on the intended use case (preventing bullying)."

Facebook Chief Technology Officer Mike Schroepfer also tweeted Friday, "Im sorry about the confusion around the intention of this product. The product was intended to combat bullying and harassment in the workplace but an inappropriate example was used. As this is a feature that we have not yet introduced it will go through rigorous review ... before ever launching."

Facebook said the proposed feature allowed only an administrator to delete the hashtag from trending posts, it would not let an admin delete the content, thread or hashtag entirely.

But the unions are having none of it. The UAW said the example implies denying working Americans their basic rights, to form a union if they so desire.

"Congress and federal agencies need to look carefully at what could lead this corporation to design tools meant to impede or deny the basic rights that Congress itself has given working Americans,"Rothenberg said.

Facebook's 48,000-person workforce is not unionized.

This isn't the first time Silicon Valley has castan apparentleery eye at unions. During the UAW's 40-day strike against General Motors last fall, Silicon Valley leaders watched as hourly factory workers took on the multibillion dollar global automaker. It wasa glimpse of what the future may hold for tech workers and tech executives.

People are looking to Detroit as a modelfor how you can unionize and collectively mobilize against management, said Margaret OMara, author of The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America and a professor of history at the University of Washington.

Like the UAW, the AFL-CIO's Trumka says it's offensive for Facebook to even consider developing the tool.

"In the face of the rising collective action against racial and economic injustice, this new tool from Facebook is perhaps unsurprising, but it is also completely unacceptable and illegal," Trumka said.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka(Photo: Eric D. Lawrence)

The AFL-CIO demands that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg "personally apologize to working people, pull this tool immediately and conduct a board-level investigation into how this product came into existence in the first place."

The AFL-CIO also demands:

"We need a full report on this and a full affirmation from Zuckerberg that Facebook will unequivocally support the right to organize and the right to free speech for all workers," Trumka wrote.

A Facebook spokeswoman did not immediately provide the company's position on allowing workers to organize.

UAW demands apology, Congressional inquiry into Facebook over the word 'unionize' - Detroit Free Press

Joanna Hoffman speaks on stage at the 2016 MAKERS Conference Day 2 at the Terrenea Resort on February 2, 2016 in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.

Joanna Hoffman, once a close advisor to the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, has criticized leadership at Facebook for not being accountable for some of the harmful effects the social media platform has had on society.

Hoffman was responding to a question, at the 2020 CogX conference on Tuesday, about the cult of leadership in the technology industry and how people can decouple ego from their work.

"As I look at Facebook, for example, I keep thinking are they really that ignorant or is this motivated by something darker than what appears?" she said on a panel with former colleagues of Apple's offshoot technology company General Magic.

While Hoffman said she had "enormous respect" for what Facebook had achieved she suggested certain aspects of the social media giant were "destroying the very fabric of democracy, destroying the very fabric of human relationships and peddling in an addictive drug called anger."

"You know it's just like tobacco, it's no different than the opioids," she added. "We know anger is addictive, we know we can attract people to our platform and get engagement if we get them p----d off enough. So therefore what, we should capitalize on that each and every time?"

A spokesperson for Facebook wasn't immediately available for comment when contacted by CNBC.

Facebook has most recently come under fire for its decision not to moderate or take down a post by President Donald Trump, in which he said "when the looting starts, the shooting starts," in reference to the George Floyd protests.

Civil rights leaders said they were "disappointed and stunned" by Mark Zuckerberg's "incomprehensible explanations" for keeping Trump's post up, after a Zoom call with the Facebook CEO and COO Sheryl Sandberg last week.

Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan have since said they were "deeply shaken and disgusted by President Trump's divisive and incendiary rhetoric," in a letter shared on Twitter. Their comments were in response to criticism from scientists funded by theirChan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) over Facebook's handling of Trump's post.

Hoffman also said that "leadership is extremely important," that "individuals make a huge difference" to a company and that without a "leader to bring it all together, then nothing really productive results in the end."

However, she added that we have to accept that leaders are human beings and are therefore going to be flawed.

"The question is, how flawed, how ignorant and how devious?" she asked.

She believed there were a lot of leaders who existed today who were "genius in what they've accomplished and what they have done at a very young age" but added that she found they were "remarkably ignorant on what they are sowing in the world."

Hoffman joined Apple in 1980, as the fifth member of the team working on the Macintosh project the first iteration of the Mac computer and focused on product marketing. She then joined Steve Jobs at his own software business NeXT, which was eventually bought by Apple.

During her time working with Jobs, Hoffman became known as one of the few people who could challenge the Apple co-founder. Kate Winslet's portrayal of Hoffman in the 2015 movie "Steve Jobs" reinforced this image of her as Jobs' "right-hand woman."

Hoffman later became vice president of marketing at General Magic, leaving in 1995. She now works for Spanish artificial intelligence agency Sherpa.

The Queen, 94, is said to have a secret Facebook page which she uses to keep in touch with members of the Royal Family. The monarch also reportedly uses Zoom to speak to family while self-isolating at Windsor Castle. Royal historian Marlene Koenig revealed that the Royal Family also keep in touch over the popular messaging tool, WhatsApp.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, Ms Koenig said: "I read that the Queen has a secret Facebook page to keep up with her family.

"Members of the Royal Family use WhatsApp to communicate."

She added: "The Queen works very well with Prime Ministers so, there is a political change in the UK.

"She's watched the UK slip away from its organised position in Europe.

"I think the monarchy is fine, I think it will be different when Charles is King but the focus will be on the Cambridges."

The revelation comes as royal commentators Rachel Bowie and Roberta Fiorito praised the Queen for her first video call engagements.

They revealed that her daughter, Princess Anne, helps the Queen use technology.

Anne, much like many children, was on standby to aid the Queen with any technical issues.

Speaking on the Royally Obsessed podcast, Ms Bowie: "The call was for carers week in the UK and it actually took place kind of a while ago, June 4th but it was shared on Instagram June 11th.

"Princess Anne was on the call with her so if anything goes wrong she could go, mum, I'm here, it is fine."

Ms Fiorito said: "I really do like their rapport and I love seeing more of Princess Anne.

"I think she has such a natural good-natured energy about herself.

"I also really like being able to see the Queen's set up."

Ms Fiorito went on to praise the Queen for her incredible spirit and comforting nature as she ages as the head Monarch.

She added: "There is just something so comforting every time we see her, I don't know what it is.

"She seems like as she ages, she is not aging to me, the Queen is still just this voice of duty and all of the things she stands for."

Best Online Casinos for Real Money 2020 - Slots, Blackjack ...

I used to play a lot at various casinoas and was really looking forward to this one. When I read the description I listed the positives and negatives of this casino. POSITIVE It contains some of my favouriet slots. NEGATIVE It contained a lot of reel machines, not as many video reels as other casinos, and some of the reels were duplicates of others.

However when I installed the software I found a lot more negatives on this casino.

1.The video reels do not stop well. In some spins reel two will stop before reel one. In quite a few spins, reels three through five stop at the same time. And this is with a new computer, configured for game play.

2.The sound effects for some slots are all messed up. The sounds used when you hit a line pay are completely out of order. It really throws the experience off if you hit a pay that is double your bet but youre getting this weird sound.

Since I really like some slots, and since the game play is reasonably close to the real casino experience, I cant give it one star. But if youre expecting the same quality like Microgaming you will be sorely disappointed.
