'జగన్ ఓటు తొలగించాలి' - data theft
రాష్ట్రంలో అక్రమంగా లక్షలాది ఓట్లు తొలగించడానికి వైకాపా కుట్ర పన్ని.. ఏదో గొప్ప పని చేసినట్లు జగన్ తానే చేశామని చెప్పుకుంటున్నారని మంత్రి సోమిరెడ్డి మండిపడ్డారు. రాష్ట్రంతో సంబంధం లేకుండా హైదరాబాద్ నుంచే అన్ని వ్యవహారాలు నడిపిస్తున్న జగన్ ఓటును ఫారం-7 ద్వారా తొలగించాలన్నారు. అక్రమ మార్గాల ద్వారా కాకుండా దమ్ముంటే పోటీ చేసి గెలవాలని ఘాటు వ్యాఖ్యలు చేశారు.

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Shane Green, CEO of consumer data-sharing company Digi.me:
"I think this is a business move by Facebook yesterday. This was not a pivot to privacy, this was trying to open up whole new lines of business around messaging, payments and candidly trying to co-opt the whole privacy regulation efforts that are going on so they don't get regulated or broken up."
++BLACK FRAMES++
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Shane Green, CEO of consumer data-sharing company Digi.me:
"At the same time, they're certainly paying a lot of lip service to privacy. And that's probably what's even more concerning to me, is how much they're not actually changing their true underlying privacy practices tied to their business model of selling personal data."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Shane Green, CEO of consumer data-sharing company Digi.me:
"Well look, Whatsapp, already, has encrypted messaging and in that regard, I think -- if you're a bad guy and you want to use an encrypted messaging platform -- I mean, there are others certainly that aren't owned by Facebook. But encrypted messaging has been here for a while now and is here to stay. So, I think it's less an issue for Facebook around bad guys using the platform, and it really is more about how to protect themselves and how to insulate themselves from government efforts to break them up."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Shane Green, CEO of consumer data-sharing company Digi.me:
"The Facebook news feed and the underlying social network is not going away and he didn't talk about greater privacy there. He talked about privacy around messaging, which again, is something that's really, you know, the horse is already out of the barn on that one. That's happening already, they're catching up if you will. And also, you might have noticed that Zuckerberg talked quite a bit about payments which is one of the fastest growing businesses in the world today and it's clearly something -- I think he mentioned it over five times in his blog post. They are clearly trying to open up these new avenues and nobody wants to send money on a service that doesn't have, at least, some basic privacy and encryption."
++BLACK FRAMES++
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Shane Green, CEO of consumer data-sharing company Digi.me:
"Facebook and Zuckerberg have invented this problem and it's also, you know, a company he unilaterally controls. So, looking to him to lead the way on privacy and figure these problems out for us is is really a fool's errand."
++EDIT ENDS ON A SOUNDBITE++
STORYLINE:
After building a social network that turned into a surveillance system, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he's shifting his company's focus to messaging services designed to serve as fortresses of privacy.
Instead of just being the network that connects everyone, Facebook wants to encourage small groups of people to carry on encrypted conversations that neither Facebook nor any other outsider can read.
It also plans to let messages automatically disappear, a feature pioneered by its rival Snapchat, that could limit the risks posed by a trail of social media posts that follow people throughout their lives.
Some analysts say the latest announcement is more about warding off government regulation than creating a new business model.
"They're certainly paying a lot of lip service to privacy and that's probably what's even more concerning to me, is how much they're not actually changing their true underlying privacy practices tied to their business model of selling personal data," says Shane Green, the CEO of consumer data-sharing company Digi.me.
Facebook has weathered more than two years of turbulence for repeated privacy lapses, spreading disinformation, allowing Russian agents to conduct targeted propaganda campaigns and a rising tide of hate speech and abuse. Its CEO Mark Zuckerberg submitted to two days of grilling on Capitol Hill last April.
All of that increases the challenge of convincing users that Facebook really means it about privacy this time.
Facebook grew into a colossus by vacuuming up people's information in every possible way, dissecting it, to then shoot targeted ads back at them.
Anything that jeopardizes that machine could pose a major threat to the company's share price, which would also affect its ability to attract and retain talented engineers and other employees.
