#Apple #Sued for Allegedly #Deceiving #Users With #Privacy_Settings After Gizmodo Story
Apple is facing a class action lawsuit for allegedly harvesting iPhone user data even when the company’s own privacy settings promise not to. The suit, filed Thursday in California federal court, comes days after Gizmodo exclusively reported on research into how multiple iPhone apps send Apple analytics data, regardless of whether the iPhone Analytics privacy setting is turned on or off.
The problem was spotted by two independent researchers at the software company Mysk, who found that the Apple App Store sends the company exhaustive information about nearly everything a user does in the app, despite a privacy setting, iPhone Analytics, which claims to “disable the sharing of Device Analytics altogether” when switched off. Gizmodo asked the researchers to run additional tests on other iPhone apps, including Apple Music, Apple TV, Books, and Stocks. The researchers found that the problem persists across most of Apple’s suite of built-in iPhone apps.
The lawsuit accuses Apple of violating the California Invasion of Privacy Act. “Privacy is one of the main issues that Apple uses to set its products apart from competitors,” the plaintiff, Elliot Libman, said in the suit, which can be read on Bloomberg Law. “But Apple’s privacy guarantees are completely illusory.” The company has plastered billboards across the country with the slogan “Privacy. That’s iPhone.”
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
As seen in a video posted to the Mysk YouTube Channel, the App Store appears to harvest information about your activity in real time, including what you tap on, which apps you search for, what ads you see, how you found a given app and how long you looked at the app’s page.
Apple’s privacy settings make explicit promises about shut off that kind of tracking. But in the tests, turning the iPhone Analytics setting off had no evident effect on the data collection, nor did any of the iPhone’s other built-in settings meant to protect your privacy from Apple’s data collection.
Mysk’s tests on the App Store found that Apple receives that data along with details that can identify you and your device, including ID numbers, what kind of phone you’re using, your screen resolution, your keyboard languages and how you’re connected to the internet—the kind of information commonly used for device fingerprinting.

Exclusive: At least $1 billion of client funds missing at failed crypto firm FTX
* #FTX founder #Bankman_Fried #secretly moved $10 #billion in funds to trading firm Alameda - sources
* Bankman-Fried showed spreadsheets to colleagues that revealed #shift in #funds to Alameda - sources
* Spreadsheets indicated between $1 billion and $2 billion in #client_money is #unaccounted for – sources
* Executives set up #book_keeping "#back_door" that thwarted #red_flags - sources
* Whereabouts of missing funds is unknown - sources
New York, Nov 11 (Reuters) - At least $1 billion of customer funds have vanished from collapsed crypto exchange FTX, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The exchange's founder Sam Bankman-Fried secretly transferred $10 billion of customer funds from FTX to Bankman-Fried's trading company Alameda Research, the people told Reuters.
A large portion of that total has since disappeared, they said. One source put the missing amount at about $1.7 billion. The other said the gap was between $1 billion and $2 billion.
While it is known that FTX moved customer funds to Alameda, the missing funds are reported here for the first time.
The financial hole was revealed in records that Bankman-Fried shared with other senior executives last Sunday, according to the two sources. The records provided an up-to-date account of the situation at the time, they said. Both sources held senior FTX positions until this week and said they were briefed on the company's finances by top staff.
Bahamas-based FTX filed for bankruptcy on Friday after a rush of customer withdrawals earlier this week. A rescue deal with rival exchange Binance fell through, precipitating crypto’s highest-profile collapse in recent years.
In text messages to Reuters, Bankman-Fried said he "disagreed with the characterization" of the $10 billion transfer.
"We didn't secretly transfer," he said. "We had confusing internal labeling and misread it," he added, without elaborating.
Asked about the missing funds, Bankman-Fried responded: "???"
FTX and Alameda did not respond to requests for comment.

The U.S. national debt is now bigger than its economy. That might sound scary, but we’ll explain how the United States can never go broke and can actually pay all of its debts whenever it wants to.
To help us, we spoke to economics professor Stephanie Kelton, author of The Deficit Myth, former chief economist on the U.S. Senate Budge Committee and a former economic advisor to Bernie Sanders.

🇨🇳 Life in China | How is like to travel by train in China in 2020? 🇨🇳
China's #HIGH_SPEED #RAILWAYS in China AMAZING #INFRASTRUCTURE>>👀
🇬🇧 #Traveling by #train is one of my favorite ways of wandering around. I took a train from #Hangzhou to #Shanghai to kind of give a little perspective of that traveling by train is in #China.
Trains in China are very fast! How fast? The average #speeds go from 250 to 350 km/h.
#Train_tickets are #very_cheap! So a network that can take you basically anywhere that fast, will be of course very popular. In 2019, The total volume of passenger transported by #high_speed #railways in China was about 2.3 billion people!
China has the largest high speed rail network, it accounts for two-thirds of the world's total. with over 20,000 kilometers of tracks. That isn’t just more than the country with the next biggest system, which is Japan. It’s not even more than the next five countries combined. It’s more the entire rest of the planet.
After a smooth hour moving at a speed of more than 300 km/h I arrived in Shanghai. As a safety measure during the coronavirus times, once you arrive to another city either by airplane or train, they will ask you to scan a QR code to double check your health status and confirm your travel history.
The boom of the high-speed rail in China has greatly reduced travel time and has transformed Chinese society and economy. A broad range of travelers of different income levels choose High Speed Rail for its comfort, convenience, safety and punctuality.

The #USA Shows a 'Concerning #Lack_of_Regard for the #Privacy of People's #Biometric_Data |
"When it comes to the extensive and invasive use of biometric data, the USA is one of the #worst_offenders in the world, faring only slightly better than #China".
According to research conducted by #Comparitech, which rated 50 countries according to how, where and why biometrics were taken and how they are #stored, the US ranked as the #fourth worst country. Topping the list is China, followed by #Malaysia and #Pakistan.
While Comparitech did not look at every country in the world, its study did compare 50 of them. To give a country a rating out of 25, each was rated out of five in four categories (#storage, #CCTV, workplace, and #visas) according to how invasive and pervasive and the collection and use of biometrics is. Five questions were also applied to them, with each answer in the affirmative resulting in one point:
* Are biometrics used in #passports? Yes (1) / No (0)
* Does the #National_ID_card contain biometrics? Yes (1) / No (0)
* Has the country failed to introduce a law to #protect biometric #data? Yes (1) / No (0)
* Are biometrics being used in #banks? Yes (1) / No (0)
* Is biometric #voter_registration being used to a large extent? Yes (1) / No (0)
* The US was assigned a score of 20/25 for its #heavy use of biometrics, including growing use of #facial_recognition, without there being specific #laws to #protect citizens' #data. There was concern at the growing use of biometrics in the workplace.
