Cybersecurity Sharing Information Act Passed
Hack after hack, people are worried about their company’s online presence. In a 74-21 vote on Tuesday, Congress passed the Cybersecurity Sharing Information Act. The CISA is designed to allow companies to share cybersecurity threats with the Department of Homeland Security who pass the threats onto the FBI or NSA who try and stop the hack before it happens. Preventing hacks and breaches sounds great right? But privacy advocates and members of Silicon Valley still aren’t happy. The passed version of this contains some things that are up for debate. One being that this Act “hides new government surveillance mechanisms in guise of security protections.” People believe the government will be able to see all their information that harms their company’s privacy. If Congress will go back and edit this is undetermined but hopefully they can come to terms with what is best for everyone’s online privacy. (Source Wired)
What To Say When You’re Told To Live In Someone Else’s Shoes…
That’s what Facebook is encouraging their employees to do. The social media site is purposefully giving their users the chance to slow down their internet to 2GB. Why would anyone want to do this you ask? Well, Facebook wants their employees to understand what it is like to use the site where connectivity is slower. Facebook isn’t expecting their employees to do this for long term because that wouldn’t be very productive. They are calling the program “2GB Tuesdays”. On 2GB Tuesdays employees can decide if they want to use the slower internet service for an hour. Sounds frustrating for those impatient people who only use high speed internet. (Source ABC News)
Quote of the Day: “Blame it on burst mode.”
Google has 3.8 million GB of our photos. That is a lot of selfies and #foodie instagrams. Google Photos asks users if they want to delete pictures when their memory is almost full and saves the pictures in the cloud. CNN did a little analysis on exactly how many pictures that is and determined that it would take 119,040 pounds of thumb drives to fit all these pictures. So many pictures. (Source CNN)
