自从Facebook报道黑客获得5000万用户账户的访问令牌以来已经三天了，这被认为是Facebook历史上最大的此类数据泄露事件。这是我们从那以后学到的东西，也是我们没有学到的。

首先，这一违规行为可能影响了其他使用Facebook Connect身份平台的第三方服务。一些大型互联网服务严重依赖Facebook登录，包括Spotify、Airbnb和Tinder。任何对用户帐户拥有完全访问权限的人都可以登录到这些服务，可能未被发现。值得注意的是，这些FacebookConnect用户中没有一个对违规行为对其自身服务的影响有过多的评论，可能是因为他们仍在调查。Tinder是个例外，他说Facebook只分享了有限的信息，并呼吁它分享更多信息。

第三方开发者的情况引发了关于使用Facebook登录是否明智的二次辩论。在专业方面，Facebook登录提供了增强的安全措施，如“基于风险的登录”——如果用户怀疑密码被盗，则要求用户提供额外信息。另一方面，Facebook的主导地位造成了类似于网络安全单点故障的情况。

第二，违约的法律后果日益明显。集体诉讼以惊人的速度提起。Sam Schechner在《华尔街日报》上报道，尽管Facebook似乎在《一般数据保护条例》要求的72小时内披露了违规行为，但欧盟隐私监督机构仍可能对Facebook处以高达16.3亿美元的罚款。另外，爱尔兰数据保护委员会周一表示，该漏洞受害者中只有不到10%居住在欧盟(《世界报》称这一数字不到500万。）

这种违约行为正是GDPR旨在防范的。因此，这是自今年早些时候生效以来对法律的第一次真正考验，Russell Brandom报道：

No one has accused Facebook of negligence yet, but the basic facts of the case have yet to be nailed down — and with lawmakers already hostile to Facebook, plenty of privacy commissioners will want to try their luck. Because the law is so fresh, no one knows for sure how such a case would play out, but Facebook is already preparing for what could be the fight of its life.

The new breach is a real contrast with previous GDPR fights, which have largely had to do with policy decisi*** and terms of service. Both Facebook and Google have already come under fire for having Terms of Service that violate the regulation, although the suits were brought by a third party and haven’t made much progress. Scandals like Cambridge Analytica present another front in the fight, in which apparent violati*** of user privacy stem from user choices, sidestepping most legal definiti*** of a breach. But this recent breach is far simpler. Facebook shouldn’t have given these hackers access to the accounts — it wasn’t a data-sharing project or an API gone wrong — so it’s hard to read the fallout as anything other than a breakdown in Facebook security. The only question is how much Facebook will be punished for the lapse.

第三，Facebook的一位高管周一重申了这一违规行为是“一次复杂的攻击”的结果。该公司的全球营销总监卡罗琳·埃弗森在广告周的一次座谈会上称，仍然不为人知的攻击者是“无味的”，体重减轻的入侵者“进来了”，而Facebook只能“在他们做出某个动作后”检测到。（埃弗森也有当天的独行侠。）。当被问及亿万富翁WhatsApp创始人今年早些时候的离任时，她回答说：“我想更多地了解他们的慈善事业。”这应该成为广告周上舞台上所说的最有趣的事情之一。）

最后，这一违约行为给了世界新的机会来评估其对Facebook的信任。在周五的新闻发布会上，两名记者问马克·扎克伯格，为什么人们应该继续用他们的数据信任这个平台。正如威尔·奥雷姆斯（Will Oremus）所述，他回避了这些问题：

“This is a serious issue and we’re very focused on addressing it, which is why we patched the vulnerability and kind of taken additional security measures,” he said. Perhaps sensing that wasn’t enough, he hesitated, then dredged up a familiar talking point about how “security is an arms race, and we’re continuing to improve our defenses.” Facebook has “a lot of talented people working on this and, I think, doing good work,” he added, unconvincingly. “This is going to be an ongoing effort, and we’re going to need to keep focusing on this over time.”

我花了一个星期一等待更多的鞋子落在缺口上。但事实是，我们在周末学到的东西很少。对此最好的解释是，GDPR在调查进行之际强迫Facebook披露了违规行为。我们最终会知道更多，但可能不会很快。

谷歌首席执行官在关键听证会前访问白宫和国会，与反保守偏见指控作斗争

托尼·罗姆（Tony Romm）报道说，桑达尔·皮猜（Sundar Pichai）对华盛顿的访问似乎相当平静。但他确实同意在众议院就对保守派的“偏见”作证。

Weeks after President Trump accused Google of having “rigged” search results, the company’s leader paid the White House a visit, meeting on Friday with Larry Kudlow, one of the president’s top economic advisors, a spokeswoman for the White House confirmed. During the private session, which focused on “issues impacting internet platforms and the economy in general,” Pichai agreed to attend an upcoming “roundtable with the President and other internet stakeholders,” the White House announced.

The spokeswoman said details would be forthcoming, including other tech giants invited to the meeting. Previously, Kudlow said the Trump administration was open to regulating search results but the president later seemed to distance himself from the idea.

关于卡瓦诺证词的虚假声明在推特上迅速传播

这里有一条很受欢迎的推特，引用了《华尔街日报》一篇不存在的报道。简·利特维恩科：

The tweet implied, without any proof, that the prosecutor Republican senators retained to question Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, one of the women accusing Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, stopped asking Kavanaugh questi*** because she determined that he lied. It falsely sourced the information to the Wall Street Journal and was soon amplified by reporters and commentators on Twitter, racking up thousands of retweets and likes.

对两名内布拉斯加州妇女来说，卡瓦诺听证会考验了她们对自己国家、特朗普和彼此的看法

格雷格·贾菲（Greg Jaffe）写道，两位**在对布雷特·卡瓦诺（Brett Kavanaugh）和特朗普（Trump）总统任期的对立观点中努力保持朋友关系，而Facebook是她们如此多讨论的背景，这一点值得注意。而且并非总是为了更好：

When she returned home from work in the evening, the testimony was finished. So, she flipped on Fox News and checked her Facebook feed. One of her friends had posted a short video that was circulating online of an African American woman passing an envelope to one of Ford’s lawyers. The post suggested that it could be a clandestine payment of some sort. Laynette wasn’t sure what to believe, but from what she knew about Washington it seemed ­possible.

“I bet they know a heck of a lot more than the rest of us,” she said, thinking of the hearing room packed with lawmakers and journalists. “To be honest, we don’t trust the media to tell us the truth anymore.”

印度希望WhatsApp破解加密并追踪煽动性信息。应该吗？

关于WhatsApp引发的暴力是技术问题还是社会问题，最近有很多很好的讨论。Rohan Venkataramakrishnan对这一主题有一个很好的、很长的观察，其中包含一位未具名的WhatsApp发言人关于一位前微信员工的建议的令人难忘的投诉，该员工建议该公司试图通过分析其元数据来屏蔽假新闻：

“It’s unsurprising that a former WeChat employee would support monitoring on a private messaging app,” the spokesperson said. “We strongly disagree with their approach as it would seriously weaken people’s privacy – with important global implicati***.” The spokesperson went on to say, “There are also several inaccuracies, the most glaring of them is that we do not retain a log of all messages being sent and their claim that WhatsApp ‘reads and stores parts of metadata of every message being sent on its platform’ – is just flat wrong.”

Gupta said he too is not in favour of breaking encryption. He said he was a supporter of Apple when it refused to give up data on a locked iPhone to American investigators in 2016, and that he would not have written this paper that year. But, with people dying, he said he sees the danger of companies like WhatsApp refusing to do anything about it, since it gives the government an excuse to intrude.

Facebook任命长期高管亚当·莫塞里（Adam Mosseri）为Instagram的新总裁

在长达一周的间歇期后，似乎很少有人了解发生了什么，亚当·莫塞里被任命为Instagram的负责人(这是他的正式头衔。）莫塞里很聪明，也很受欢迎，但他在这里的工作是成为一名好士兵，而不是一名导演。在这篇博文中，最值得注意的是我们都是朋友的样子——莫塞里坐在米奇·克里格和凯文·西斯特罗姆之间的照片；第二个最值得注意的事情是创始人在他们新的告别博客帖子中注定要大哭一场。”对我们来说，最重要的是让我们的社区——你们所有人——在Instagram所做的一切中保持领先和中心地位。”这不是Facebook最重要的事情，他们知道这一点(这就是他们写这篇文章的原因。）

半相关的是，才华横溢的莎拉·弗里尔（Sarah Frier）今天宣布，她正在写一本关于Instagram历史的书。Frier是Facebook上最优秀的记者之一，这本书将是必读的。特别是如果Systrom和Krieger合作的话。

一个假新闻作家的自白

这是温斯顿·华兹华斯（可能是化名）的一个软弱而令人恼火的半罪过，他哀叹自己在为一个他拒绝命名的网站写谎言。因为他不知道是谁付钱给他写的关于***成长的小说，以及其他极有问题的任务，所以这篇文章一文不值。

推特因我在推特上发表**主义学术研究而将我停职。这就是为什么这是一个问题。

麻省理工学院（MIT）教授比较媒体研究的克里斯·彼得森（Chris Peterson）在推特上发表了一些女权主义学术研究，并因此被停职。他推测，这是因为推特错误地将他的推特标记为包含“非人性化”言论，因为这些言论是按性别来指代人的。推特什么也没说，但在博因博因写下此事后，他改变了方向。

YouTube上轰动一时的超级马里奥·洛根将为你的孩子们而来

JK Trotter讲述了一个拥有900万订户的YouTuber的故事，他成功地将一堆令人厌恶的废话偷运到视频中，即使在“限制模式”下，儿童也可以观看这些视频

But when Cook got around to watching SML for himself, he was alarmed by what he found: an array of racist stereotypes, misogynist humor, homophobic jokes, and worse, **uggled into videos that are clearly aimed at children. A character named Jackie Chu, for example, is portrayed by a puppet who, as his Fandom entry explains, “pronounces things wrong such as ‘Cacurus’ (Calculus), ‘Rawn’ (Wrong), ‘Crass’ (Class)… and cannot see as well as others, due to his eyes being squinted too tightly.”

WhatsApp消息导致IPhone印度零售商暴跌71%

Santanu Chakraborty和Ameya Karve报告称，在WhatsApp消息在交易员中传播后，印度Infibeam Avenues Ltd.单日市值下跌71%，引发了对在线iPhone和iPad零售商会计实务的担忧。

谷歌正在为广告商提供更多的方式来瞄准YouTube用户

你是否曾经使用YouTube并希望自己成为广告商更多的目标？恭喜你，因为你现在是！

Google is expanding its use of lucrative search-based advertising tools on YouTube, to help advertisers target potential customers as they search for everything from products to movie trailers on the video site. The news, announced this morning at Advertising Week and reported by CNBC, marks a shift in how Google treats YouTube. Increasingly, the company is relying on YouTube as an extension of its core search engine instead of a separate entity. To help drive home the point, Google representatives told the crowd at Advertising Week that YouTube is the second most popular search engine in America, behind Google Search.

Facebook最近离职的首席安全官亚历克斯·斯塔莫斯（Alex Stamos）就要求Facebook在72小时内宣布违规行为如何防止其抓获坏人一事发表了看法。这是一本很好的读物，有助于捕捉围绕这一违规行为的一些内部争论：

为Instagram**的阁楼

一家营销机构出租并装修了一套公寓，设计成Instagram的终极背景，并将其借给有影响力的人。Sapna Maheshwari有一个令人难忘的故事，讲述了一个完全人造的空间以及需要它工作的人们：

There is also the “rah-rah-Instagram-slash-feminist-wall,” an area filled with photographs of Instagram influencers and messages of female empowerment.

老实说，我认为授权可能看起来与此不同！
