Interesting enough to share with my Computer Security students.
Peter Swire proposes a a
pedagogic framework for teaching cybersecurity policy.
Specifically, he makes real the old joke about adding levels to the
OSI networking stack: an organizational layer, a government layer,
and an international layer.
A lesson for my Software Architecture students:
This is not changing one function, this is changing the entire design
strategy.
Facebook
still hasn’t launched a big privacy feature that Mark Zuckerberg
promised more than seven months ago
Back in May, at the height of
Facebook’s
Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal, the company made a timely
announcement: Facebook users would soon be able to
clear the browsing history connected to their Facebook profile,
meaning that the company would no longer link users to the apps and
websites they visited off of the social network.
The product, called “Clear
History,” got a lot of attention. Not only is browsing data
important — Facebook uses it to target people with advertising —
but CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Clear History himself during
Facebook’s annual developer conference. Clear History was an olive
branch meant to show everyone how serious Facebook is about privacy.
… As it turns out,
clearing your browser history was harder to implement than Facebook
expected. It’s been more than seven months since Zuckerberg’s
announcement and Facebook hasn’t mentioned Clear History since.
Facebook’s Chief Privacy
Officer Erin Egan said at that time that it would take “a
few months” to build. Now Facebook tells Recode
it won’t be ready for several more months.
Okay, the reports are out.
Russian
Social Media Amassed Millions Of Followers In Support Of Trump:
Reports
New reports
commissioned by the Senate detail the scope of Russian interference
in the 2016 elections.
… The
first report ― created by Oxford University’s Computational
Propaganda Project and Graphika, a network analysis firm ― shows
how a Russian company called the Internet Research Agency created
thousands of accounts and “launched an extended attack on the
United States” election by polarizing American politics and
boosting Donald Trump’s campaign, according to The Washington Post.

… A
second report by New Knowledge, a cybersecurity company based in
Austin, Texas, focused on which groups were targeted and how.
