Google might sell hardware, but they’re an advertising company first and foremost. That’s how Google makes the vast majority their money, so it’s unlikely Google would ever do anything that would actually hurt advertising revenue.

Apple, meanwhile, makes basically all of their money from selling hardware and services, and next to nothing from advertising revenue. This means they see advertising less as a source of revenue and more as a potential annoyance for their users. 

Ces utilisateurs se détournent de Facebook ? Pas grave puisque le géant avait justement modifié ses règles de confidentialité pour permettre les croisements de données entre ses différents services, dont Instagram, sa propriété.

La firme de Zuckerberg peut donc toujours offrir à ses clients la possibilité de cibler ces internautes.

The app, Onavo Protect, also tracks users' apps, how often they're used and what websites users visit.

AMP is, to begin with, Google exerting its market power to extend its control over others’ content. Facebook is doing it, so Google has to. Using its privileged position as the means through which people find a great deal of content, Google is attempting to make it so that the content itself must also be part of a system it has defined.

Seven in 10 said Instagram made them feel worse about body image and half of 14-24-year-olds reported Instagram and Facebook exacerbated feelings of anxiety. Two-thirds said Facebook made cyber-bullying worse.

Alexandra Elbakyan runs Sci-Hub, a website with over 64 million academic papers available for free to anybody in the world.

OpenBoard is an open source cross-platform interactive whiteboard application. OpenBoard is intended for use primarily in schools and universities, and can be used both with interactive whiteboards or in a dual-screen setup with a touchscreen and secondary display.

The Sacramento Bee said in a statement that a firewall protecting its database was not restored during routine maintenance last month, leaving the 19,501,258 voter files publicly accessible.
