FTC Gives Final Approval to Modify FTC’s 2012 Privacy Order with Facebook with Provisions from 2019 Settlement
April 28, 2020
https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/pre...roval-modify-ftcs-2012-privacy-order-facebook

In response to the federal court’s recent action, the Federal Trade Commission has formally approved amendments to its 2012 privacy order with Facebook to include the provisions that were incorporated in the settlement the Commission announced with the social network platform in July 2019.

The FTC in July 2019 announced a record-breaking $5 billion settlement with Facebook related to allegations that the company violated its 2012 FTC privacy order by deceiving users about their ability to control the privacy of their personal information. In addition to the historic monetary penalty, the 2019 settlement includes unprecedented new restrictions on Facebook’s business operations and creates multiple channels of compliance.

Pursuant to the 2019 settlement, the FTC could not amend its 2012 administrative order with Facebook with the updated consumer protections until the federal court entered its order. Judge Timothy J. Kelly entered the order on April 23, 2020. In response, FTC Chairman Joe Simons issued a statement last week on the court’s approval.
The Commission voted 3-2 to modify the 2012 Facebook order with the updated provisions included in the 2019 settlement.

Facebook's content oversight board includes former prime minister, Nobel winner
The social network named the first 20 members
May 6, 2020
https://www.cnet.com/news/facebooks...prime-minister-nobel-prize-winner-and-others/

Facebook unveiled on Wednesday the first 20 members of a new board that will review some of the social network's toughest content moderation decisions, a milestone in the company's experiment with a process that could change what stays up or gets removed from the site.

The board includes a mix of professors, lawyers, former judges, journalists and digital rights advocates, as well as a former prime minister of Denmark and a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
About a quarter of the board members are from the US or Canada. All of the members, Facebook said, are committed to freedom of expression.

"The announcement of the first group of oversight board members marks the beginning of a fundamental change in the way some of the most difficult and significant decisions about content on Facebook will be made," said Brent Harris, who oversees governance and global affairs at the social network.
"We are not the internet police," said Michael McConnell, a former US federal circuit judge and constitutional law professor at Stanford Law School, who is a co-chair of the oversight board.

Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO and co-founder, first announced plans to create an oversight board in 2018.
One of Facebook's biggest challenges will be convincing the public the board is truly independent from the social network.

"Of course, it'll be very embarrassing for Facebook if they don't live up to their end of this bargain," Thorning-Schmidt said.

Facebook has apologised after its latest software update crashed rival apps on iPhones and iPads.

Popular apps such as dating service Tinder, music-streaming app Spotify and video platform TikTok were among those rendered unusable.
The problem affected apps that had integrated the "login with Facebook" feature, which eliminates the need for a separate username and password.
And on Thursday, Facebook said: "Yesterday, a new release... included a change that triggered crashes for some users in some apps using the Facebook iOS SDK.

Facebook Users Accept $550 Million Privacy Deal Over Facebook's “Tag Suggestions”
May 9, 2020
https://www.cdrinfo.com/d7/content/...privacy-deal-over-facebooks-“tag-suggestions”

The lawyers reprsenting Facebook users have asked a judge to approve a $550 million settlement in their class-action lawsuit that claimed the Facebook illegally gathered biometric data through a photo-tagging tool.

According to a Friday filing, the class members will get from $150 to $300, or between 15% and 30% of the possible recovery on an individual claim.
Facebook had proposed the $550 million settlement with Facebook users, who claimed that the “tag suggestions” feature violated an Illinois biometric privacy law. Plaintiffs sued in 2015 [...]

The users agreed to the reduced damages because they haven’t suffered any economic loss and didn’t seek a multibillion-dollar settlement, their lawyers said. Facebook could have also asked the court to reduce damages after a potential trial, according to the lawyers.

The company agreed to turn off the facial recognition feature for class members and delete existing user biometric information unless they consent to turn on the feature within 180 days after the settlement is finalized, the lawyers said.

Bloomberg: Facebook Users Find Excellent Value in $550 Million Privacy Deal

The settlement provides “excellent value” and “dwarfs every previous settlement” in a U.S. consumer privacy class-action suit, the lawyers said in a filing Friday.

“A verdict for the class here might lead to a damages award of several billions of dollars,” the lawyers said. “Facebook is surely one of the few companies who could absorb such a judgment, but it could make a persuasive case that such an award is disproportionate to any privacy harm caused by the Tag Suggestions or Face Recognition tool.”
The users’ lawyers also sought $981,000, and additional expenses billed during the settlement negotiations, as attorneys’ fees. “There is no ‘clear sailing’ provision, and Facebook may challenge the fee and expense request if it desires,” the lawyers said.

Facebook proposed the deal in January in an attempt to avert a trial and resolve the privacy dispute.

Facebook fined $9 million over Canadian privacy concerns
Competition Bureau finds Facebook made 'false or misleading representations' about users' privacy
May 19, 2020
https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/facebook-fined-competition-bureau-1.5575312

Facebook has been ordered to pay a $9-million penalty after making "false or misleading claims about the privacy of Canadians' personal information," according to a news release from the Competition Bureau.

The decision follows an investigation into the social media company's privacy practices between 2012 and 2018. The Competition Bureau said they found Facebook falsely represented how much information users could control — including the personal information of users' friends who had installed "certain third-party applications."

"Canadians expect and deserve truth from businesses in the digital economy, and claims about privacy are no exception," Competition Bureau Commissioner Matthew Boswell wrote in the statement.
The Bureau's findings relate to data on both Facebook and Messenger, where users were given the impression they could control who can see and access their personal information. Instead, third-party developers were able to access some of that information in ways inconsistent with Facebook policies.

Facebook on Thursday announced to regularly update users about its work on maintaining privacy on its family of apps via a dedicated Page.

The Facebook Page on privacy will have in-depth posts on some of the “hard technical questions we encounter, to actions we’re taking against those who try to undermine privacy on our platform”.
Facebook said that in the dedicated Page, it would explain improvements it makes to further protect people’s privacy.

“We will continue to share how we design privacy into our products, highlight advances we make to the technology that keeps people’s information safe, and provide more transparency into things we find and fix,” said the company.

The company said it would report on its privacy practices to the newly formed Privacy Committee on its Board of Directors.

“And an independent, third-party assessor will review our practices and report on them to the Privacy Committee and the FTC,” said Facebook.

Facebook shuts down Hobbi, its experimental app for documenting personal projects
June 30, 2020
https://techcrunch.com/2020/06/30/f...mental-app-for-documenting-personal-projects/

Facebook’s recently launched app, Hobbi, an experiment in short-form content creation around personal projects, hobbies, and other Pinterest-y content, is already shutting down. The app first arrived on iOS in February as one of now several launches from Facebook’s internal R&D group, the NPE Team.

Hobbi users have now been notified by way of push notification that the app is shutting down on July 10, 2020. The app allows users to export their data from its settings.
In the few months it’s been live on the U.S. App Store, Hobbi only gained 7,000 downloads, according to estimates from Sensor Tower. Apptopia also reported the app had under 10K downloads and saw minimal gains during May and June.

But Hobbi was a fairly bare bones app. There was nothing else to do but document your own projects. You couldn’t browse and watch projects other users had created, beyond a few samples, nor could you follow top users across the service. And even the tools for documentation were underdeveloped.

The new Facebook Oversight Board — designed to keep Facebook posts in check — announced it won’t be operational until later this year.

The independent board, which is more necessary than ever in some people’s eyes, will have the power to override Facebook decisions on contentious material. It will review videos, photos and other content.

“We understand many people are eager for the board to officially begin our task of providing independent oversight of Facebook’s content decisions,” the board said via Twitter. “We share this urgency, but the board won’t be operational until late Fall.”

Hundreds of iOS apps crash
Pintrest, Tinder, Spotify and many more apps crashed earlier today

https://www.macworld.co.uk/news/ipad/hundreds-of-ios-apps-crash-3792631/

Due to a malfunction, numerous iOS apps stopped working for about half an hour on 10 July 2020.

There were apparently hundreds of broken apps included Spotify, Deezer, booking.com, Pintrest and Tinder, and many games. The reason for the malfunction is thought to have been the Facebook API.
A discussion about the bug flared up in the forums of the Github platform, where developers exchange information, with many reporting that their apps no longer worked on iOS.

Github users suggested that that the Facebook developer kit was responsible for the problems. This was apparent from the damage reports that developers received from the crashes.

In an open letter, Accountable Tech urges the five U.S.-based Facebook Oversight Board members to “demand the Board be given real authority” or quit their positions.

“Each of you were selected to serve on this Board because of your outspoken commitment to free expression, human rights, and democratic values,” the letter’s authors write.
“Now is the time to uphold those principles. We humbly ask that you refuse to be complicit in this Facebook charade –– that you demand sweeping and immediate changes, or walk away.”

Facebook Adds $100M to Privacy Settlement in Bid to Satisfy Skeptical Judge
The legal tab for using facial recognition technology to "tag" Illinois citizens is now $650 million
July 23, 2020
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t...ettlement-bid-satisfy-skeptical-judge-1304094

What's $100 million worth to a $700 billion company like Facebook?

Well, consider this: Last month, a San Francisco federal judge wasn't particularly impressed by the eye-popping $550 million proposed to settle a class action against Facebook. He rejected it. Now weeks later, the parties are headed back to the judge with a new number — $650 million. That's right. Facebook just added $100 million in an attempt to make one of its problems on the privacy front go away.
The lawsuit alleges Facebook violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act by collecting facial data and then using recognition technology in its "tag suggestions" service.

Then, Jay Edelson, the plaintiffs' attorney, announced a landmark settlement worth $550 million.

"That's a lot of money," said U.S. District Court Judge James Donato at a subsequent hearing on June 4. "You know the old sob about the portions -- the food was bad and the portions were small."
"Is it really a lot?" the judge said in his next breath. [...] So I'd like to hear more about why that is a reasonable settlement amount."
And that's not all. [...]

Facebook sues EU antitrust regulator for excessive data requests
July 27, 2020
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...tor-for-excessive-data-requests-idUSKCN24S2BN

Facebook is suing EU antitrust regulators for seeking information beyond what is necessary, including highly personal details, for their investigations into the company’s data and marketplace, the U.S. social media group said on Monday

Facebook has been under EU competition enforcers’ scrutiny since last year, with one investigation focused on its trove of data and the other on its online marketplace launched in 2016 and used by 800 million Facebook users in 70 countries to buy and sell items.
The company has since then provided 315,000 documents equivalent to 1.7 million pages to the Commission.

“The exceptionally broad nature of the Commission’s requests means we would be required to turn over predominantly irrelevant documents that have nothing to do with the Commission’s investigations, including highly sensitive personal information such as employees’ medical information, personal financial documents, and private information about family members of employees,” Facebook associate general counsel Tim Lamb said in a statement.

In addition to the two lawsuits against the Commission, Facebook is also seeking interim measures at the Luxembourg-based General Court, Europe’s second-highest, to halt such data requests until judges rule, according to a court filing.

Facebook criticizes Apple's new iOS privacy policies
August 28, 2020
https://www.securitymagazine.com/articles/93186-facebook-criticizes-apples-new-ios-privacy-policies

In June, Apple announced iOS 14 updates that, among other changes, would require apps to ask users for permission to collect and share data with developers.

Facebook also criticized Apple, noting that these changes would "disproportionately affect Audience Network given its heavy dependence on app advertising. Like all ad networks on iOS 14, advertiser ability to accurately target and measure their campaigns on Audience Network will be impacted, and as a result publishers should expect their ability to effectively monetize on Audience Network to decrease.

"[...] Ultimately, despite our best efforts, Apple’s updates may render Audience Network so ineffective on iOS 14 that it may not make sense to offer it on iOS 14. We expect less impact to our own advertising business, and we’re committed to supporting advertisers and publishers through these updates."

Facebook: Preparing Audience Network for iOS 14

While it’s difficult to quantify the impact to publishers and developers at this point with so many unknowns, in testing we’ve seen more than a 50% drop in Audience Network publisher revenue when personalization was removed from mobile app ad install campaigns. In reality, the impact to Audience Network on iOS 14 may be much more, so we are working on short-and long-term strategies to support publishers through these changes.

In 2020, Facebook would be roiled by a global pandemic, internal protests over racial injustice, a deeply polarizing election, and the ongoing threat of multiple state and federal investigations into antitrust and privacy. But on the morning of July 16th, Mark Zuckerberg found his workforce asking for something else: their missing office snacks.

There’s also a “Secret Crush” feature that enables users to select up nine Facebook friends or Instagram followers that they’re interested in.

Facebook fined $6.1 million in South Korea for sharing user data without consent

November 25, 2020
https://www.engadget.com/facebook-6-million-fine-korea-sharing-user-data-120542835.html

South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) has slapped Facebook with a 6.7 billion won (around US$6.1 million) fine for sharing user information without consent.

The watchdog said Facebook shared people’s names, addresses, dates of birth, work experience, hometowns and relationship statuses with other companies when they logged in. Further, it said Facebook could have shared that information with up to 10,000 other companies.
That said, it couldn’t say how much information was shared exactly, because Facebook apparently didn’t provide relevant documentation.

Facebook denied the accusation, telling Yonhap News in a statement that it “cooperated with the investigation in its entirety.”

Millions of Facebook users pass on $650 million privacy jackpot
November 26, 2020
https://tech.hindustantimes.com/tec...0-million-privacy-jackpot-71606404015519.html

Facebook Inc. will be making payouts to only about a quarter of the 6 million Illinois residents eligible for the biggest consumer privacy settlement in U.S. history.

Based on a tally filed in court after Monday’s claims deadline, some 1.57 million people will probably pocket more than $300 each -- after about a third of the $650 million settlement fund is set aside for their attorneys and administrative costs -- from a lawsuit in which the social network was accused of collecting biometric images from its photo-tagging feature without consent.
Click to expand...

As class actions go, with nickel-and-dime payouts often not worth the effort of filing a claim, a case that ends up with a 25% buy-in from consumers is a success story. Frequently, fewer than 10% of eligible people file claims.
