  • Europe And US Do Battle Over Privacy Rules That Will Govern The Internet
    Even as US lawmakers propose new digital privacy protections for consumers the US looks like a libertarian fantasyland and regulation-free zone compared with Europe in the minds of tech companies. European regulators and governments are seeking to enact sweeping privacy rules that would place enormous compliance burdens on US-based internet companies. As a result the […]
  • Twitter Expands Bi-Annual Transparency Report With More US Info
    Coinciding with Data Privacy Day, Twitter has produced its second Twitter Transparency Report, and this version has expanded information about the various legal requests that come from the U.S. Twitter is also giving the report a new home at transparency.twitter.com.

  • Size Matters In Real-Time Bidding — But How You Use it Matters Most
    There are literally thousands of online publishers seeking to monetize the “unique” traffic visiting their websites. Concurrently, there is a thirsty crop of data brokers lining up to assist publishers in connecting their data with the ever-growing advertising demand online. We live in an era of increasing concern about privacy, which makes sense, given there […]
  • Google+ Rolls Out A New Page Manager Dashboard
    As Google Plus Daily first reported, Google+ has launched a new Page manager dashboard with a new look, added functionality and some very basic stats about the Pages you manage. The old dashboard was spartan and borderline useless. It only displayed the different Pages you managed with a blue “Switch to this page” button for […]
  • Facebook Tries To Explain Why It Cut Vine’s, Others’ API Access
    Don’t use our platform to copy what we do without permission. That seems to be the core issue in a Platform Policy change that Facebook announced on its developer blog about an hour ago.
