Facebook's share price should take a hit from Sign In With Apple. Love the "we give apps a fake email address for you" feature
The problem "Sign In With Apple" is that it's so delightfully privacy-safe that developers won't offer it. They crave your real email address for reengagement campaigns. Fb happily provides it.
Turns out Apple will force apps to offer Sign In With Apple as tries to break Facebook’s hold on identity techcrunch.com/2019/06/03/the…

Top takeaways from my video+gaming panel at #AllThingsRTC:
-Video chat can 4X usage & 2X retention for games
-Streaming is evolving from Twitch to narrowcasting to friends & live synchronous play
-Gamers need their own social networks or non-gamers get annoyed like Zynga+Fb
Video chat massively ups risk of abuse in games, including bullying of ‘default’ users who haven’t bought/earned fancy skins. Developers should look to safety-as-a-service providers like @TwoHatHQ & @AntiToxinTech
The social+gaming industry loves the validation of Epic/Fortnite acquiring Houseparty, even if it wasn’t a big financial win. It’ll make it easy to squad up before play. Thx to our panelists & attendees!

This startup is crazy. Helium's IoT network has 200X range of Wifi at 1/1000th cost of cellular...but relies on $495 P2P routers it wants people to buy to earn its crypto token... tcrn.ch/2IG2LDb
Helium just raised a $15M Series C bringing it to $51M, and it's signed up Lime & InvisaLeash to use its cheap trackers. But will enough people buy the Helium Hotspot? tcrn.ch/2IG2LDb
What wild luck to spend 6yrs building a wireless protocol startup and then to have the perfect use case -- rental bike/scooter tracking -- emerge the year you launch.

We’d heard rumors that Houseparty was considering acquisition after challenges fundraising. Fortnite’s owner seems like a good home medium.com/@houseparty/ho…
Houseparty gets to survive as part of Epic, while an acquirer like Fb or Twitter might have shut it down & reassigned the team. This is a win for Houseparty’s users
Fortnite-owner Epic emerging as a social app acquirer could encourage early stage social funding, while giving Fb another competitor to point to amidst anti-trust scrutiny

1/ On the occasion of the launch of @apple's "Sign in with Apple," allow me to indulge in a walk down a memory lane called @MozillaPersona -- the project I loved and led at Mozilla 6-8 years ago, the project that broke my heart. This is my take, I'm sure it's incomplete.
2/ I joined Mozilla (Labs) in 2011, and I immediately clicked with @thunder, @michaelrhanson, and Lloyd who were working on the verified email protocol. The idea was simple and powerful: signing into web sites often boils down to typing and then verifying an email address.
3/ so why not make that a one-or-two-click operation rather than a rigamarole of typing your email, going to your inbox, clicking the verify link, etc. The browser could mediate some proof of email ownership. We could make it super privacy protecting. It was called BrowserID.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Last July, Michal Kosinski, the @Stanford prof whose personality quiz was used to scrape #Facebook data of MILLIONS of Americans, **met in Moscow** w/#Russian🇷🇺PM Dmitry Medvedev, Sergey Lavrov & several members of #Putin’s cabinet. 1/

theguardian.com/technology/201…
Kosinski, who described Lavrov as “a guy who starts wars and takes over countries,” was “flattered” that the #Russians🇷🇺would listen to his talk. “Those guys strike me as one of the most competent and well-informed groups. They did their homework. They read my stuff.”😳 2/
Kosinski researches technology, mass persuasion & artificial intelligence (AI), including the use of AI to detect psychological traits👉🏼research that inspired the creation of #CambridgeAnalytica.🤨 3/

#Facebook thread:
Ahead of Zuckerberg's Congress testimony, a quick revision guide.
All you need to know about Facebook (and why you should be concerned), brought to you by the Observer/Guardian's investigation into data and democracy...
Hard to believe it was less than a month ago that @carolecadwalla broke the story about GSR harvesting 50m+ Facebook profiles for @CamAnalytica to use in political campaigning:
Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica.. theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Via the first major interview with @CamAnalytica whistleblower @chrisinsilico which explained Facebook had known about the leak for at least 18months and detailed Robert Mercer / Steve Bannon's central roles ‘I made Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…

The Best Alternative For Every #Facebook Feature wired.com/story/facebook… #DeleteFacebook A smartphone-like grid of green rounded rectangles with one
For news, Wired recommends @nuzzel. Great app, but it never stuck for me because I don't use social media for news. (@AppleNews is OK, but still limited to a handful of countries.) My tip: Pick a trusted news source (mine is @tagesschau), use their site, pay them if you can.
Here's more on getting news, again from @WIRED: wired.com/story/news-app…. (#RSS is still an option, of course. I never stopped using it. I love @Inoreader.)
