Facebook Reaction: a privacy attack for corporate benefit.

Recently Facebook launched many images to be added in there post so that user can express their feelings in different different moods and smile sad happy but no one understand the reason behind it
Welcomes to earning money both Facebook and Google goes in same Direction they both are different words of same reason to use uses data and they sell them in order to more revenue.

     Earlier Belgian police gave  a public warning about the use of Facebook reaction buttons instead of like button check here

what Facebook has done it is limiting the users response to a particular post to 6 reactions,
By limiting the responses to a post to six emotions: which the social networks calls “Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad and Angry”,

To use this reaction data for advertising Facebook developed some algorithms that are used to determine the liking and not liking of a user for particular post or product,

Facebook's algorithms are able to measure your reactions more effectively, this means Facebook can now surf personalized advertisements to its user for its benefit,
for example if you press "Like" or "woow" reaction on a pizza joint then its most likely you will see a offer on the product from that brand.

What this arrangement actually does is that it increase the effectiveness of use profile to the Facebook and its partner companies about how there users are behaving towards the content that is showing in there feeds and this helps them a lot than just showing million people about same ads.
because now when you see thing of his preferences in the feed he or she is most likely to show a reaction to it and plan to buy that service or offer in future time.

Corporate benefits more from this as now Facebook has more accurate data about there users then it can sell this data two its partners and show more accurate ads and post to its users.

so although this reaction function is killing privacy with one more dagger but what we can do,
people can't stop using this just because they gonna get more customized content in there feed,

And who knows Facebook may also planning to use the data collected from this reaction algorithms to develop its Artificial Intelligence Program and source point of human knowledge and behavior.
we all know CEO of Facebook is working on A.I. since many ears now.

i think users need to protest against this and ask Facebook to remove this from the functionality which is very impossible to happen in near future.

FBI crack Tor and catch 1,500 subscribers of child pornography website on the dark web

   FBI crack Tor and catch 1,500 subscribers of child pornography website on the dark web

Yeah you heard right fbi can hack the tor network, but how we don't know yet, it comes under the

the court order can be seen here link by which fbi conducted this raid.



The fbi hacking tool that can identify IP and MAC addresses of devices.

TOR Network
The Onion Router (Tor) is software that anonymises your internet trafficTor Network
At its peak, Playpen website had around 215,000 members. It had more than 117,000 posts and it received an average of 11,000 unique visitors a week. The FBI discovered many posts featuring extreme child abuse imagery, as well as providing advice on how potential child sex abusers could avoid detection online.
After seizing the computer server running Playpen from a web host in Lenoir, North Carolina, in February 2015, the FBI decided to run the child pornography web site from its own servers in Newington, Virginia, for an additional two weeks between 20 February and 4 March of that year.
When visitors accessed the website, the FBI deployed a network investigative technique (NIT) – a hacking tool – and used a single warrant to uncover 1,300 IP addresses, tracing these addresses back to actual individuals.
The FBI has used NITs before, but this is the first time that it has been reported that the NIT was able to get around the protections of Tor. When visitors accessed the website, although their traffic might have been encrypted, a Flash application was secretly installed on the user's computer that quietly sent important data about the user straight to the FBI so that it did not pass through the Tor network at all, according to Motherboard Vice.
The NIT was able to capture the actual IP address of the computer, the type of operating system the user's computer was using, the computer's architecture, the computer's MAC address, the computer's host name, the computer's active operating system username and was even able to issue a unique identifier to the user in order to distinguish all data collected from another user's IP address.
Even though the method has undoubtedly helped to bring down child pornographers, the American Civil Liberties Union is concerned that the FBI was able to hack into over 1,000 computers with just a single warrant, and believes that Congress and the public should play a role in evaluating whether law enforcement should be allowed to use NITs at all.
Over 1,500 cases have resulted from the investigation

Two men were indicted in New York in July 2015 on child pornography charges, the first of many who were arrested throughout 2015. Many of the arrested will see their cases heard throughout the first half of 2016, and the court documents showed that charges were filed against defendants in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Utah and Wisconsin.
"Fifteen-hundred or so of these cases are going to end up getting filed out of the same, underlying investigation," Colin Fieman, a federal public defender for the Western District of Washington who is handling several of the related cases, told Motherboard Vice.
"There will probably be an escalating stream of these [cases] in the next six months or so," he added. "There is going to be a lot in the pipeline."
I am not saying fbi should not stop any child pornography scam or site, but what my point is if they passes capability to de anonymize tor user then we loose the main concept of using tor at the first place, we use this tool for complete anonymity not just to reduce our internet speed by intentionally bouncing traffic to different tor circuit just to reduce internet speed.

Alert:-
to continue being anonymous online i advise you use tor over a trusted vpn

Let me know you comments upon it and please share it.
