With great satisfaction I completed the Project Management Course in San Francisco / CA discussing Facebook's data leakage scandal and its impact on the American election. In this research, my team and I approach issues such as the involvement of Steve Bannon in Trump campaign, data manipulation of 87 million people * (captured by APP "This is your digital life"), the influence on narrative and strategies advertising and how Facebook has been absent in the transparency of communication with its users who have had leaked information. Interestingly, the current election in Brazil follows a similar narrative through Whatapp. So, what would be the responsibility of these platforms in this new dynamic?

DataTags: Sharing Privacy Sensitive Data by Latanya Sweeneydatascienceiqss
The DataTags framework makes it easy for data producers to deposit, data publishers to store and distribute, and data users to access and use datasets containing confidential information, in a standardized and responsible way. The talk will first introduce the concepts and tools behind DataTags, and then focus on the user-facing component of the system - Tagging Server (available today at datatags.org). We will conclude by describing how future versions of Dataverse will use DataTags to automatically handle sensitive datasets, that can only be shared under some restrictions.
In this blended presentation, we will cover two different but related topics: The reorganization or Technical Services at the University of Northern Colorado and the launch of a homegrown MS Access application to proactively check our e-journal holdings. In 2008, the University of Northern Colorado created a task force to re-configure Technical Services into a new model. The genesis of this decision was the awareness that electronic resources in all their variety were here to stay and knowledge about how to acquire, license, mount, maintain, afford, and renew these resources should not reside with a single E-resource librarian but should be shared across the department.

FSM420 Case 2018
Privacy Commissioner launches Facebook investigation
GATINEAU, QC, March 20, 2018 – The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has opened an
investigation related to recent media reports regarding alleged unauthorized access and use of Facebook
user profiles.
“We have received a complaint against Facebook in relation to allegations involving Cambridge Analytica
and have therefore opened a formal investigation,” says Commissioner Daniel Therrien. “The first step will
be to confirm with the company whether the personal information of Facebook users in Canada was
affected.”
The investigation will examine Facebook’s compliance with Canada’s federal private sector privacy law,
the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
“The allegations we’ve seen in media reports raise extremely important privacy questions. The digital
world, and social media in particular, have become entrenched in our daily lives and people want their
rights to be respected.”
The UK Information Commissioner’s Office has an ongoing related investigation.
“We will remain in contact with the UK office and will work with other data protection authorities as
appropriate. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that the privacy rights of Canadian Facebook users are
protected,” says Commissioner Therrien.
Due to confidentiality provisions under PIPEDA, no further details regarding the investigation are available
at this time.
Both federal privacy laws are in urgent need of reform and the Commissioner has called on the government
to address the shortcomings in Canada’s privacy regime.
“If true, the allegations raise a major challenge for privacy rights. We have recommended strengthening
Canada’s private sector law in order to help strengthen consumer trust. I welcome the support of a
Parliamentary committee that recently reviewed PIPEDA,” says Commissioner Therrien.
ASSUME THE ROLE OF THE PRIVACY COMMISSIONER AND determine how you would
conduct the review of Facebook.
A recent article regarding Facebook and Cambridge Analytica
Facebook is under fire this week over a controversy involving tens of millions of users’ personal
information.
The drama began when the $500 billion company admitted Friday that data analysis firm Cambridge
Analytica, which has close ties to President Trump’s election campaign and right-leaning mega donors, used
data that had been collected from 50 million users without their consent. Facebook has since suspended
Cambridge Analytica’s access to its platform.
Still, Facebook is taking a beating from commentators and investors alike. Facebook’s stock was down
about 7% Monday afternoon, dropped another 2.5% Tuesday. The company’s market value has shrunk 8%
this week. Meanwhile, lawmakers in the U.S. and the U.K. are demanding CEO Mark Zuckerberg explain his
company’s practices.

Facebook Ignites Debate Over Third-Party Access to User Data; It says that a firm kept data for years despite saying records were destroyed

Facebook Inc. ignited a firestorm over how it manages third-party access to its users' information, after the social network said a firm with ties to the 2016 Trump campaign improperly kept data for years despite saying it had destroyed those records.
U.S. and British lawmakers slammed Facebook over the weekend for not providing more information about how the data firm, Cambridge Analytica, came to access information about potentially tens of millions of the social network's members without their explicit permission.
"This is a big deal, when you have that amount of data. And the privacy violations there are significant," Sen. Jeff Flake (R., Ariz.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in an appearance on CNN. "So, the question is, who knew it? When did they know it? How long did this go on? And what happens to that data now?"
The attorney general in Massachusetts said in social-media posts Saturday that her office planned to launch an investigation into the matter.
Damian Collins, the U.K. lawmaker who chairs a parliamentary committee on media and culture, said he intended to ask Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg to testify before the group, or send a senior executive to do so, as part of its inquiry into how social-media manipulation affected Britain's referendum decision to exit from the European Union.
Late Friday, Facebook said it suspended Cambridge and two individuals--Aleksandr Kogan, a psychology professor from the University of Cambridge, and Christopher Wylie, who helped found Cambridge--after hearing "reports" they had violated Facebook policies that govern how third-party developers can deploy user data they obtained from the company. Facebook didn't elaborate on the source of its information.
Facebook said it learned in 2015 that Mr. Kogan broke Facebook policy and shared the user data with third parties. The company said it demanded he and third parties with access to the data delete those records but learned this month the data hadn't been destroyed.
Facebook executives spent much of Saturday arguing what happened didn't constitute a data breach--even as they and the company acknowledged Mr. Kogan and Cambridge abused user data that previously was provided openly to third parties.
The episode highlighted Facebook's continuing struggle to grasp how its platform and the data it generates are handled by others. It comes as Facebook struggles to respond to last fall's disclosure that Russian-backed actors leveraged its tools to manipulate Americans during and after the 2016 U.S. presidential race.

Over the course of less than a decade, Facebook has morphed from a small, niche networking site
for mostly Ivy League college students into a publicly traded company estimated to be worth at least
$50 billion. Facebook boasts that it is free to join and always will be, so where’s the money coming
from to service 1 billion subscribers? Just like its fellow tech titan and rival Google, Facebook’s
revenue comes almost entirely from advertising. Facebook does not have a diverse array of hot new
gadgets, a countrywide network of brick and mortar retail outlets, or a full inventory of software for
sale; instead, it has your personal information and the information of hundreds of millions of others
with Facebook accounts.
Advertisers have long understood the value of Facebook’s unprecedented trove of personal
information. They can serve ads using highly specific details, like relationship status, location,
employment status, favourite books, movies or TV shows and a host of other categories. For
example, an Atlanta woman who posts that she has become engaged might be offered an ad for a
wedding photographer on her Facebook page. When advertisements are served to finely targeted
subsets of users, the response is much more successful than traditional types of advertising. A
growing number of companies both big and small have taken notice: in 2011, Facebook made $3.2
billion in advertising revenue, which constituted 85% of its total revenue. The rest comes from the
sale of virtual goods and services, principally Zynga games.
That was good news for Facebook, which launched its IPO (Initial Public Stock Offering) in May 2012
and is expected to continue to increase its revenue in coming years. But is it good news for you, the
Facebook user? More than ever, companies like Facebook and Google, which made approximately
$36.5 billion in advertising revenue in 2011, are using your online activity to develop a frighteningly
accurate picture of your life. Facebook’s goal is to serve advertisements that are more relevant to
you than anywhere else on the Web, but the personal information they gather about you both with
and without your consent can also be used against you in other ways.
Facebook has a diverse array of compelling and useful features. Facebook’s partnership with the
Department of Labour helps to connect job seekers and employers; Facebook has helped families
find lost pets after natural disasters, such as when tornadoes hit the Midwest in 2012; Facebook
allows active duty soldiers stay in touch with their families; it gives smaller companies a chance to
further their ecommerce efforts and larger companies a chance to solidify their brands; and,
perhaps most obviously, Facebook allows you to more e ...

Once you have selected your country you will look for a combination of academic, government, NGO, and popular media for information about the existence and application of labor laws in this country. Most countries have very complicated and extensive labor codes, so I recommend to concentrate on 3 or 4 issues reported by academics or the media in the last 15 years. Some examples of these issues are:
· Child labor
· Minimum wage
· Right to unionization
· Workplace safety
· Social security (pensions or retirement schemes)
· Employment Based Health Systems
· Disability
· Profit sharing
· Christmas or end of year bonuses
· Maternity leave
· Child care
· Health insurance
· Employment stability
· Severance laws, etc.
The issues you select should be discussed from the point of view of legislation, not the choices of individual companies to provide benefits to their workers.
Labor Law and Implementation Report
Report Description
Write a 4-5 page and 7 source report on labor conditions (the laws and their implementation). Feel free to add more sources if you need it. The report should ONLY include legislation and government enforcement of those laws (do not the include information about individual company practices).
The report should also discuss implementation of at least one of the issues mentioned in the report. Although many countries have very progressive laws, many fail to have any enforcement mechanisms or the ones they have are not very effective. A report lacking information on enforcement will earn a maximum of 70 percent of the points.
The report should include all elements of a good paper, including an introduction, which should include both a thesis and the specific structure or elements of the report, and a conclusion. The thesis should be a general statement that provides at least one of the following:
1. A general summary of your content.
2. Your personal evaluation of the information the performance of the country in terms of the quality of their labor policies and their implementation.

The "Cambridge Analysis" company is facing the use of personal data to influence the US 2016 presidential election and the UK Brexit referendum survey.

Facebook could be in hot water with Europe's privacy regulators.
The social network is facing potential investigations after it disclosed last week that it deliberately
manipulated the emotional content of the news feeds by changing the posts displayed to nearly
700,000 users to see if emotions were contagious.
The company did not seek explicit permission from the affected people -- roughly one out of every
2,500 users of the social network at the time of the experiment -- and some critics have suggested
that the research violated its terms of service with its customers. Facebook has said that customers
gave blanket permission for research as a condition of using the service.
In response to widespread public anger, several European data protection agencies are examining
whether Facebook broke local privacy laws when it conducted the weeklong investigation in January
2012.
That includes Ireland's Office of the Data Protection Commissioner, which regulates Facebook's
global operations outside North America because the company has its international headquarters in
Dublin. The Irish regulator has sent a series of questions to Facebook related to potential privacy
issues, including whether the company got consent from users for the study, according to a
spokeswoman.
The Information Commissioner's Office of Britain also said that it was looking into potential privacy
breaches that may have affected the country's residents, though a spokesman of the office said that
it was too early to know whether Facebook had broken the law. It is unknown where the users who
were part of the experiment were located. Some 80 percent of Facebook's 1.2 billion users are based
outside North America.
"We're aware of this issue, and will be speaking to Facebook, as well as liaising with the Irish data
protection authority, to learn more about the circumstances," a spokesman for the British regulator
said in a statement.
Neither regulator, however, has launched an official investigation into Facebook's practices. Earlier,
the Financial Times reported that the British regulator had begun an investigation on the case.
In the study, which lasted one week in January 2012, Facebook changed the number of positive and
negative posts that some users saw in their feeds to gauge how emotions can affect social media.
2. Richard Allan, Facebook's director of policy in Europe, said that it was clear that people had been
upset by the study.
"We want to do better in the future and are improving our process based on this feedback," he said
in a statement. "The study was done with appropriate protections for people's information, and we
are happy to answer any questions regulators may have."
The Federal Trade Commission, the American regulator that oversees Facebook's conduct under a
20-year consent decree, has not publicly expressed similar interest in the case, which has caused an
uproar over the company's ethics and prompted the lead researcher on the project to apologize.
Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, addressed the study in India on Wednesday in a
meeting with entrepreneurs and women to promote her book "Lean In" and in an interview with the
Indian TV network NDTV.
The NDTV interview with Ms. Sandberg.
"We clearly communicated really badly about this and that we really regret," Ms. Sandberg said in
the NDTV interview. "We do research in an ongoing way, in a very privacy protective way, to
improve our services and this was done with that goal."
Ms. Sandberg also expressed confidence that the company will weather any regulatory inquiries.
