Huge executive shakeup at Facebook:
-Chief Product Officer Chris Cox leaves
-VP Of WhatsAPp Chris Daniels leaves
-Head of Fb's app Will Cathcart takes over WhatsApp
-Fb Dir of Product Fidji Simo takes over Fb app
techcrunch.com/2019/03/14/chr…
@fidjissimo actually was promoted from Director to VP in the last few years to oversee news, video, and ads, but now will oversee all of Facebook's main app
Facebook's Cox writes that "we will need leaders who are excited to see the new direction through." Zuck writes that new WhatsApp head "Will [Cathcart] . . . believes deeply in providing end-to-end encryption". Is that what drove out Cox?

Evan Spiegel finally has a strategy to fight the clones: Make it easier to embed Snapchat than copy it tcrn.ch/2FUEg3I
By letting other apps like Tinder host its Stories, Snapchat colonizes the app ecosystem and expands its reach despite its struggle for user growth
If Snap doubles down bringing Stories & Bitmoji to other apps, it could recruit allies Facebook can't because of its toxic brand. tcrn.ch/2FUEg3I tip @techmeme

This is my feature story on how Apple News could screw up journalism's revenue like Facebook did to its traffic. Here's why to be worried: 1/ techcrunch.com/2019/03/26/no-…
Apple News destroys the need to pay individual news outlets. Why pay WSJ $30 when Apple gives you most of it for $10 & pays WSJ a tiny fraction. This "good enough" strategy is how Instagram Stories destroyed Snapchat's growth. 2/
Apple News+ severs the reader/publisher relationship. Publishers
-Don't get email addresses, CC numbers, bio data
-Can't freely promote conference tix, newsletters, merch, other posts
-Have no easily accessible homepage that becomes a habit. 3/

1/ Big news: Facebook will no longer allow advertisers to target users by age, gender and ZIP code for housing, employment and credit offers. It’s part of a major settlement with civil rights orgs who sued FB following our coverage. propub.li/2Y75Rqx
2/ Facebook says it has “not seen the kind of explicit discriminatory behavior that civil rights groups are concerned about.”

But we found dozens of examples, thanks to those of you who participated in our crowdsourcing project.
3/ There were job ads that excluded workers over 40… propub.li/2Y761y9

For years Facebook claimed the adding a phone number for 2FA was only for security. Now it can be searched and there's no way to disable that.
Facebook 2FA numbers are also shared with Instagram which prompts you 'is this your phone number?' once you add to FB.
The original FB phone number prompt never mentioned "and more". It was shown for MONTHS before a link was added in September 2018 clarifying "actually we'll use this wherever we damn well please"

Poisoned in Fake Terror Attack = Personal

Hillary Clinton has all of our encryption keys, including the FBI's. "Encryption keys" is a general reference to several encryption functions hijacked by Hillary and her surrogate ENTRUST.
They include hash functions (used to indicate whether the contents have been altered in transit), PKI public/private key infrastructure, SSL (secure socket layer), TLS (transport layer security), Dual_EC_DRBG NSA algorithm (Dual Eliptical Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generator)
and certificate authorities. The convoluted structure managed by the gutless agency chief information officer "Federal Common Policy" group says it has "hundreds" of certificate authorities, but this is a material lie.

Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica in major data breach
Whistleblower describes how firm linked to former Trump adviser Steve Bannon compiled user data to target American voters  theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Cambridge Analytica who worked with Trump’s team and the winning Brexit campaign harvested millions of FB profiles of US voters, in the tech giant’s biggest ever data breach, and used them to build a powerful software program to predict and influence choices at the ballot box.
They used personal information taken without authorization in early 2014 to build a system that could profile individual US voters, in order to target them with personalised political advertisements.
