The European Commission and the UK are launching separate investigations into Facebook citing antitrust concerns over the Facebook Marketplace and the company's use of classified advertisements on the platform. In particular, regulators are concerned that Facebook is unfairly using advertising data to distort competition.

Speaking on the investigation, the European Commission's Margrethe Vestager, said: “Facebook collects vast troves of data on the activities of users of its social network and beyond, enabling it to target specific customer groups. We will look in detail at whether this data gives Facebook an undue competitive advantage in particular on the online classified ads sector, where people buy and sell goods every day, and where Facebook also competes with companies from which it collects data.”

As pointed out by The Verge, there has already been a preliminary investigation into this, which raised enough concern to warrant a closer look at Facebook's business practices. The main concern seems to be that Facebook may be collecting data from rival companies through classified ads and then using that information to compete with them. The UK Competitions and Markets Authority is also investigating Facebook over the same concerns.

Facebook has of course already responded, claiming that these allegations are “without merit”, adding that Facebook Marketplace and other services, like Facebook Dating, are part of “highly competitive” markets.

KitGuru Says: These investigations often take a long time to complete, so it could be a while before we see a verdict. This certainly wouldn't be the first time that Facebook has faced scrutiny over data collection and the ways it uses that data.

Activision is paying employees to harvest their health data https://www.kitguru.net/tech-news/featured-tech-news/damien-cox/activision-is-paying-employees-to-harvest-their-health-data/ https://www.kitguru.net/tech-news/featured-tech-news/damien-cox/activision-is-paying-employees-to-harvest-their-health-data/#respond Fri, 12 Apr 2019 12:14:49 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=410159 It’s fair to say that Activision Blizzard isn’t the world’s favourite company after its cost cutting measures resulted in mass layoffs and its investors claim to have been misled by Bungie’s split.

It’s fair to say that Activision Blizzard isn’t the world’s favourite company after its cost cutting measures resulted in mass layoffs and its investors claim to have been misled by Bungie’s split. Recent reports of the company offering to collect data from its employees isn’t going to help matters, but it seems as though Activision is paving the way forward with regards to consent and protection of information.

The Washington Post revealed that Activision Blizzard has been utilising pregnancy tracking application Ovia Health to monitor the data of employees. The app offers a range of features, including the ability to track mental health, sleep habits, diet and dive into autism and cancer care. While this might start ringing alarm bells that throwback to Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica scandal, Activision’s efforts are entirely voluntary, transparent, anonymous and participants actually get paid for taking part.

“Each time we introduced something, there was a bit of an outcry: ‘You’re prying into our lives,’” Activision Blizzard VP of global benefits Milt Ezzard said to The Post. “Eventually people understood it’s all voluntary, there’s no gun to your head, and we’re going to reward you if you choose to do it.”

It was revealed that participants are rewarded with a $1 gift card for each day that the application is used, and since Activision is paying Ovia for the business package, all data is sent back to the company in anonymous, aggregated form to comply with privacy laws. Beyond this, it wasn’t revealed how the studio was using the data, but Ezzard has claimed that employee attitudes have improved since 2014, when the system was first put in place.

Privacy experts voiced their concern about the application, questioning whether situational data could ever track back to a specific employee and be used for individual discrimination. Ovia assured that this is not possible, telling Kotaku that employers only see “percentage-based, aggregate, di-identified data” that help to objectively identify whether the workplace environment is improving or not.

There’s still a real concern that employers could use such data to influence the investment into health-care benefits and other various factors, but employee Diana Diller told The Post that she believes otherwise. “Maybe I’m naive, but I thought of it as positive reinforcement: They’re trying to help me take care of myself,” said Diller.

KitGuru Says: Scepticism is a natural reflex after witnessing nightmare after nightmare regarding data collection, making it harder to accept that it is near-essential in the digital age. Instead, it’s about how the data collection is conducted and what control the individual user has over it, all of which Activision has been mindful of when trying to improve its workplace.

Last year, Facebook was publicly embroiled in Cambridge Analytica’s data collection scandal, causing CEO Mark Zuckerberg to appear before a number of government officials to defend his company. It turns out that the narrative isn’t quite what Facebook claimed it was, as recently unearthed emails show that the social network was aware of the events prior to emerging reports.

Back in December 2015, The Guardian first reported on Cambridge Analytica’s improper use of Facebook data in the US elections. At the time, Facebook allowed application developers to harvest information from a complying user’s friends without their consent, but Cambridge University researcher Aleksandr Kogan inevitably breached the social media’s terms and conditions by selling the data onto political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica. This was confirmed true at the beginning of last year by ex-Cambridge Analytica employee and whistleblower Christopher Wylie.

Facebook refused to comment on the matter at the time, but stated that it had launched an investigation. Newly uncovered emails dated September, 2015 show that the social network was, in fact, suspicious of Cambridge Analytica’s dealings a few months prior to these reports coming to light.

Suspiciously, Facebook recently tried to cover its tracks by requesting that these emails be sealed due to commercial sensitivity. They were only revealed when an opposing motion was filed in court by Washington DC's attorney general, around the same time that Facebook’s Marc Andreessen was accused of meeting with Wylie in the summer of 2016 for Donald Trump’s on-going presidential campaign.

A company spokesperson has insisted that “Facebook absolutely did not mislead anyone about this timeline. In September 2015 employees heard speculation that Cambridge Analytica was scraping data, something that is unfortunately common for any internet service. In December 2015, we first learned through media reports that Kogan sold data to Cambridge Analytica, and we took action. Those were two different things.”

KitGuru Says: It seems as though Facebook’s line of questioning is far from over, even as Zuckerberg does his best to shift to a privacy-focused social media platform.

Earlier this week, Facebook was revealed to be running a secret program that paid users between 13 and 35-years-old up to $20 per month to install an application that provided the company near-unrestricted access to their smartphone activity. The social network wasn’t alone in its efforts, as Google has also been engaging in similar data collection practices.

Internally known as “Project Atlas,” Facebook began distributing an application meant for internal purposes to consumers, offering gift cards for participation. After breaking the news, TechCrunch explained that Facebook tried to cover its tracks by running the program through testing services such as Applause, BetaBound and uTest.

According to Guardian Mobile Firewall’s security expert Will Strafach, Facebook’s Research app gives access to private messages across social media and instant messaging apps, photos, videos, emails, search history and even location. Facebook quickly tried to downplay the controversy by stating it had voluntarily removed its Research app from the Apple Store, but it turns out that the company had its license revoked for breaching terms and conditions.

“We designed our Enterprise Developer Program solely for the internal distribution of apps within an organization,” explained Apple. “Facebook has been using their membership to distribute a data-collecting app to consumers, which is a clear breach of their agreement with Apple. Any developer using their enterprise certificates to distribute apps to consumers will have their certificates revoked, which is what we did in this case to protect our users and their data.”

Google has been found guilty of the same violation with its Screenwise Meter application, which will now be pulled from iOS devices as a result. Users from the age of 13 could participate, but those below the age of 18 needed to be a part of a family program in order to participate, hinting at parental consent that wasn’t present in Facebook’s Research application.

“The Screenwise Meter iOS app should not have operated under Apple’s developer enterprise program — this was a mistake, and we apologize,” Google said in a statement to TechCrunch. “We have disabled this app on iOS devices. This app is completely voluntary and always has been. We’ve been upfront with users about the way we use their data in this app, we have no access to encrypted data in apps and on devices, and users can opt out of the program at any time.”

It looks as though both Facebook Research and Screenwise Meter will continue running on Android, despite friction on Apple’s platform.

KitGuru Says: While Facebook Research and Screenwise Meter users undoubtedly have to give consent, the question remains whether giving up that amount of privacy is worth $20 per month. At the very least, neither company hid their intentions to the consumer, which is rare in the long line of controversies we’ve seen so far.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is coming into place fairly soon here in the EU, which means companies around the world are preparing changes to fall in line with the new laws. Facebook might be trying to skirt around it, but Oculus will be going in a different direction by implementing new policies and a ‘privacy centre', where users can check up on what data Oculus collects.

The Privacy Centre will go live for Oculus users on the 20th of May, meanwhile the new terms of service will be published today. Oculus is expanding its terms of service to also cover augmented reality, which could be a hint at the future of the company, which has primarily focused on VR up to this point.

Oculus won't necessarily be changing its practices in response to GDPR, but it will be offering more transparency. Oculus already doesn't share user data with Facebook for third-party ad targeting, but the company does collect data on physical movements when users are wearing the Rift. When users are wearing the Rift, Oculus checks in on user movement once every minute, allowing the company to figure out how much average play space a user takes up.

Oculus also takes into account each user's height, but this information is stored locally on the user's own PC and not offloaded to its servers. Any other information that Oculus collects will become clear on the 20th of May, when GDPR officially takes effect.

Discuss on our Facebook page, or over on Twitter.

KitGuru Says: There are a ton of tech companies making adjustments due to GDPR and with good reason, the penalties for not complying are hefty. In the long run, this will result in more transparency, and giving people better options to restrict data collection, or at least view what is being collected.

Last year, we first heard about Facebook's plans to compete with Amazon, Google and Apple in the ‘smart speaker' market. The speaker was apparently set to be revealed in May at a conference, but recently, Facebook has found itself in the middle of a major data usage and privacy scandal. With that in mind, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Facebook's speaker has apparently been delayed.

Facebook's smart speaker was apparently going to be designed for video chatting, with a touch screen display and camera. The wide-angle lens found on the speaker would be capable of recognising a user's face and associate it with their Facebook account. It would also come with a digital assistant baked in, like Apple's Siri, or Amazon's Alexa.

According to sources speaking with Bloomberg, this speaker was expected to be unveiled at the F8 conference in May, with a full release planned for this Autumn. However, those plans have since been put on hold, as the company deals from the fallout of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

Apparently Facebook will still launch its speaker later this year, but that will all depend on how quickly the company can amend its data collection policies and win back user trust.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: Facebook has never been a privacy haven, but it seems like users of the social network are more riled up than ever this time around. Either way, releasing a smart home device with cameras and microphones attached to it probably isn't the smartest move in the current climate.

Yesterday, it came to light that Google had been tracking users of its Android operating systems regardless of whether or not location services had been turned off. The company has now firmly held its red hands high, stating that it will stop this data collection and find another way to improve its services.

This information was revealed by Quartz, which uncovered that these data collection practices have been taking place since the beginning of 2017, whether users opt out of location tracking services or even removing their SIM card entirely. So long as the device was connected to the internet, Google would push past the bounds of privacy by pinpointing nearby cell tower addresses.

“In January of this year, we began looking into using Cell ID codes as an additional signal to further improve the speed and performance of message delivery,” the Google spokesperson said in an email to Quartz. “However, we never incorporated Cell ID into our network sync system, so that data was immediately discarded, and we updated it to no longer request Cell ID.”

Not only has Google stated that it has never kept the data, but Android devices will no longer send cell tower data to the company without consent.

This is not the first time that data collection concerns have been raised as more companies seem to be hoovering up unnecessary amounts of information that breach its user’s privacy. Moreover, it’s usually in secret.

While this data is usually encrypted, it raises concerns for those who would be at risk from being tracked, with Quartz providing examples of “law-enforcement officials or victims of domestic abuse” who would otherwise feel safe just by turning off the location services. This is data that could end up in wrong, third-party hands.

KitGuru Says: It’s any wonder that customers still trust companies as each one tends to do as it pleases without repercussion until its caught. While I’m not surprised by the move, it still irks me.

It looks like Bose has found itself in some legal trouble following accusations that the company used an app to track and collect information on customers without permission. Using an app, Bose is said to have tracked the listening habits of its wireless headphone customers and then sold that data on to third-parties for profit. The case bares resemblance to an FTC case against TV maker Vizio recently, which found the company sold customer data without permission as well.

The complaint was filed by Kyle Zak this week at a Chicago federal court and may eventually escalate the lawsuit to class-action status. According to the complaint, the companion Bose Connect app violates the US Wiretap Act by “secretly collecting, transmitting and disclosing its customers” listening habits to third party companies.

Speaking with Reuters about the case, lawyer Christopher Dore said that “people should be uncomfortable” with this. He also added: “People put headphones on their head because they think it's private, but they can be giving out information they don't want to share.”

Zak claims that he had purchased a pair of Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones for around $350 and went on to download the companion app on his phone. He later learned that “all available media information” had been sent from his smartphone to third parties, including a company known as ‘Segment.io', which seems to proudly come up with ways for companies to farm customer data and spread it around.

Right now, the lawsuit aims to get several million dollars out of Bose for the privacy invasion. However, if class-action status is reached, this will be spread out among buyers of all different Bose wireless headphones.

KitGuru Says: Given that the FTC just took aim at Vizio for similar data collection habits, I'd be surprised if Bose gets out of this unscathed. How do you guys feel about companies collecting and selling your data? Do you see it as an invasion of privacy at all?

There have been privacy concerns surrounding Windows 10 ever since its launch, prompting complaints not just from users but from government watchdogs as well, particularly here in Europe. However, it looks like Microsoft is finally prepared to do something about it, starting off with an update to its privacy statement and being transparent about the data it collects within Windows 10.

In a Windows blog post today, Microsoft explained that for the first time ever, it will be publishing a “complete list of the diagnostic data collected at the basic level”. However, Microsoft will also be “providing a detailed summary of the data” it collects from users at both basic and full levels of diagnostics.

In preparation for the upcoming Creators Update, Microsoft has been reassessing what data is strictly necessary at the basic level for diagnostic purposes to keep its services secure. As a result, the company has managed to halve the amount of events and overall volume of data it collects at the ‘basic level'. With that in mind, we should see Microsoft collecting less data overall from users.

The Creators Update will also introduce new controls for privacy conscious users, allowing them to choose between basic level and full level data collection.

On top of that, going forward Microsoft will be providing better controls for its privacy conscious users. This way, you will be able to pick between basic and full data collection. More specific details will be published soon regarding Microsoft's updated privacy policy but for now, it seems that the company is open to making necessary changes. However, only time will tell whether this will be enough to appease EU regulators and customers.

KitGuru Says: Microsoft's data collection practises within Windows 10 have been a point of controversy for a long time. However, it looks like Microsoft is finally going to address the issue. However, until we get a more detailed breakdown of the policy, it will be hard to tell whether these changes will be enough.

WhatsApp has gone ahead and put a stop to its user data collection activities in Europe after growing pressure from privacy watchdogs in multiple EU countries. The policy change means that the messaging app will no longer be relaying personal information, like phone numbers, over to Facebook though this may just be a temporary change.

Facebook spent a whopping $19 billion on WhatsApp back in 2014 but only began collecting user information from the app a few short months ago. This move was criticised by many and an open letter was issued last month in an effort to get WhatsApp CEO, Jan Koum, to suspend data collection while the potential legal issues were debated.

In a statement given on the situation (via: The Verge), Facebook has said: “We hope to continue our detailed conversations with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office and other data protection officials”. Facebook is open to clearing up confusion and answering any questions that governments may have about its data collection policies and methods.

While Facebook will no longer be receiving data from WhatsApp within Europe for the time being, the social network could have bigger problems to deal with as German authorities are already attempting to stop Facebook from collecting user data entirely, calling it “an infringement of national data protection law”. Right now, other European countries like the UK, Italy and France are also investigating Facebook's data collection methods.

KitGuru Says: Facebook puts a lot of effort into tracking its users' habits and collecting various bits of information about them. This has caused privacy concerns in the past so it makes sense to hear that EU governments aren't too happy about WhatsApp joining in. Do you guys think Facebook needs to back off a little bit when it comes to data collection?

Ever since the launch of Windows 10, plenty of people have had issues with Microsoft’s new policies when it comes to privacy and data collection. Now, it looks like France’s data protection authority also has a problem with it and has ordered Microsoft to “stop collecting excessive user data” within the next three months.

In a notice published earlier this week, (via: Verge) CNIL called for Microsoft to make more of an effort to guarantee the “security and confidentiality” of Windows 10 users’ personal information. Right now, Microsoft is apparently sending collected data back to the US under the “safe harbour agreement”. However, the European Union invalidated this agreement last year.

The decision to order Microsoft to stop collecting excessive amounts of user data came about after an investigation that took place earlier this year. Other European data protection authorities are also said to be involved, so Microsoft may face similar action from more countries within the EU.

There are other complaints besides mass data collection though. CNIL also objects to the four-character PIN system Microsoft has put in place, claiming that it is insecure. They also don’t like Microsoft’s use of cookies to serve personalised ads to users, and while you can opt-out of this, that fact is apparently not made clear enough.

Microsoft Deputy General Counsel, David Heiner, has already spoke with Reuters this week and confirmed that the company plans to work with CNIL on solutions to these issues.

KitGuru Says: The EU has been known to take a hard stance on data protection, as we saw when Google was forced to implement the ‘right to be forgotten’. It will be interesting to see how Microsoft deals with this going forward. Do any of you have problems with Microsoft’s new data collection and privacy policies?
