Facebook Has a Hidden Tool to Delete Your Phone Number, Email

4 novembre 2022 / noflux

“The company explains that even though you may not have signed up to use any core Meta service — such as the Facebook app, Messenger, or Instagram — it may still have your contact information.For many years, the firm asked users signing up for any of its apps to share their phone contacts, with the stated goal of helping them find friends. A side effect is that Meta, whose combined apps boast almost 3 billion daily users, has amassed an unknown but likely vast amount of personal contact information for people who have never signed up for an account, nor opted to share their information.The tool, in theory, allows a non-user to mitigate some of this damage. And although the tool is targeted at people who have never signed up for Meta’s apps, it’s likely also useful to anyone who is a user but never wanted to share this information.”

Meta’s VR platform Horizon is too buggy and employees aren’t using it enough, says exec

18 octobre 2022 / noflux

“A key issue with Horizon’s development to date, according to Shah’s internal memos, is that the people building it inside Meta appear to not be using it that much. “For many of us, we don’t spend that much time in Horizon and our dogfooding dashboards show this pretty clearly,” he wrote to employees on September 15th. “Why is that? Why don’t we love the product we’ve built so much that we use it all the time? The simple truth is, if we don’t love it, how can we expect our users to love it?”In a follow-up memo dated September 30th, Shah said that employees still weren’t using Horizon enough, writing that a plan was being made to “hold managers accountable” for having their teams use Horizon at least once a week. ”

Meta : « Le métavers est certes virtuel, mais l’impact sera réel »

11 octobre 2022 / noflux

“Le métavers pourrait également avoir un impact réel sur l’économie numérique européenne. Un livre blanc conçu pour Meta par le groupe Analysis estime que si l’adoption du métavers en Europe devait connaître une croissance similaire à celle de la technologie mobile, elle pourrait être associée à une contribution de 440 milliards de dollars au PIB régional d’ici une décennie.
Alors que la réalité virtuelle a déjà un impact réel, une grande partie de ce que nous envisageons pour le métavers est encore à une dizaine d’années et nécessite une collaboration entre les industries et avec des experts, des universitaires, la société civile, les gouvernements et les régulateurs pour y parvenir. Nous commençons ces conversations tôt et espérons que la campagne contribuera à susciter d’autres conversations et collaborations entre les industries et avec les experts en Europe et au-delà.”

Expanding Our Bug Bounty Program to Address Scraping | Meta

16 décembre 2021 / noflux

“We know that automated activity designed to scrape people’s public and private data targets every website or service. We also know that it is a highly adversarial space where scrapers — be it malicious apps, websites or scripts — constantly adapt their tactics to evade detection in response to the defenses we build and improve. As part of our larger security strategy to make scraping harder and more costly for the attackers, today we are beginning to reward valid reports of scraping bugs in our platform.
Starting today, our data bounty program will also cover scraped datasets found online. We will reward reports of unprotected or openly public databases containing at least 100,000 unique Facebook user records with PII or sensitive data (e.g. email, phone number, physical address, religious or political affiliation). The reported dataset must be unique and not previously known or reported to Meta. We aim to learn from this effort so we can expand the scope to smaller datasets over time.”

L’artiste qui possédait le nom Metaverse a vu son compte supprimé quand Facebook est devenu Meta

13 décembre 2021 / noflux

“La logique voudrait que le réseau social contacte directement la ou le propriétaire du nom pour lui demander s’il serait d’accord pour le céder. Mais dans les faits, l’exemple de Thea-Mai Baumann montre qu’il est possible que des modifications soient faites sans en discuter avec l’internaute concerné. L’histoire de l’artiste australienne pourrait également servir d’avertissement à tous les créatifs qui utilisent Instagram et d’autres plateformes comme « galerie » où elles et ils sauvegardent leur art. Il convient toujours de rappeler que les réseaux sociaux sont des entreprises, qui ont le droit d’héberger ou non ce qu’elles souhaitent. En publiant des images, vidéos et photos sur un réseau social publiquement, il faut savoir qu’il est possible que celles-ci soient un jour inaccessibles — qu’il s’agisse d’une décision de la plateforme ou d’un bloquage automatique à la suite de trop nombreux signalements ou d’une détection algorithmique d’un contenu jugé problématique.”

Fifty percent of Facebook Messenger’s total voice traffic comes from Cambodia

16 novembre 2021 / noflux

“One of the most common reasons? Typing was just too hard.In Cambodia’s case, there has never been an easy way to type in Khmer. While Khmer Unicode was standardized fairly early, between 2006 and 2008, the keyboard itself lagged behind. The developers of the first Khmer computer keyboard had to accommodate the language’s 74 characters, the most of any script in the world. ”

Facebook’s facial recognition announcement doesn’t apply to the metaverse

5 novembre 2021 / noflux

“Several of Meta’s current projects show that the company has no plans to stop collecting data about peoples’ bodies. Meta is developing hyper-realistic avatars that people will operate as they travel through the metaverse, which requires tracking someone’s facial movements in real time so they can be recreated by their avatar. A new virtual reality headset that Meta plans to release next year will include sensors that track peoples’ eye and facial movements. The company also weighed incorporating facial recognition into its new Ray-Ban smart glasses, which allow the wearer to record their surroundings as they walk around, and Reality Labs, Meta’s hub for studying virtual and augmented reality, is conducting ongoing research into biometrics, according to postings on Facebook’s careers website.”
