I think Mark Zuckerberg has just announced that he's merging messaging across all Facebook & non-Facebook platforms & has wrapped it up in a nice "privacy & encryption" bow which large swathes of the press appear to be buying. Nice work @nick_clegg!
Here's the other thing about "privacy & encryption" not mentioned here. Massive amounts of disinformation. In elections in Brazil, India, Nigeria...WhatsApp has been the new frontier of fake news. Impossible to see. Impossible to fight

Another big day in the life & times of Cambridge Analytica. @profcarroll in High Court trying once again to get to the bottom of the ‘toxic data swamp’. He’s asking for administrators to be dismissed, claiming much too close to CA’s new zombie, Emerdata
‘Why did Cambridge Analytica sell one of its companies SCL insight to an SCL director days before it went bankrupt?’ asks @profcarroll’s QC
Here’s @profcarroll who Cambridge Analytica’s administrators painted as a ‘lone creditor’ in court today. They’re trying to make you into the crazy cat man of dodgy data, I say. Exactly, he said. What blows theory, of course, is that FBI & US Congress is seeking exact same info

One year ago today...
The Cambridge Analytica scandal began with LeaveEU. And one year on from @chrisinsilico's revelations, today - for first time ever! - a ray of hope! The gig is so up for @nigel_farage. The emperor has no clothes. And his friend Donny Trump is going down..
And what @chrisinsilico revealed a year ago is how Brexit & Trump are 2 same campaigns linked by 2 same companies: Cambridge Analytica & Facebook. It's transnational money, data, crime. And boggles the mind that anyone on the left could support this...

Mark Zuckerberg ha publicado una extensa nota hablando sobre el futuro de Facebook, WhatsApp e Instagram. Parece que quiere evolucionar de “Un mundo conectado y abierto” a “Un mundo centrado en la privacidad”.

¿Qué significa esto realmente?

1/
Un poco de contexto: Facebook lleva años acosado por decenas de polémicas y escándalos acerca del uso de los datos de sus usuarios. La privacidad parece haberle importado poco o nada a Zuckerberg en este tiempo: su único foco ha sido crecer.

Pero el viento está cambiando. Los problemas se acumulan y la presión aumenta: los gobiernos de países que sufren las consecuencias de Facebook y ninguno de sus beneficios económicos están comenzando a plantear medidas contra la compañía.

Morning campers, I’ll be live tweeting from the UK parliamentary hearing into @Facebook, misinformation and fake news today. Here’s what you need to know:
Lawmakers from nine countries are here in London to gripe about why Zuckerberg didn’t show up to speak to them. Expect a lot of that, plus Richard Allan, FB’s VP of “policy solutions,” to do a lot of apologizing
Nominally, this hearing is tied to @DamianCollins’ ongoing “fake news” investigation, which has led UK officials traveling to the US for hearings (on taxpayers £). But to be clear, they have no power to actually legislate
