Among the companies that will be affected by the new measure are: Acxiom, which provides data from the US, the UK, France, Germany and Australia, Epsilon, which monitors the US consumer preferences, as well as Oracle Data Cloud, which collects data in the US and the UK, Experian, TransUnion and others, Facebook Product Marketing Director Graham Mudd indicated in a statement that was circulated by industry news sites.
The companies, all major data aggregators, helped Facebook to provide advertisers with valuable information concerning consumer behavior outside the web. This included the users’ shopping habits, information on their home or car ownership, family make-up and other offline data that is essential for advertisers to make a precise targeting choice.
The aggregators partnered with Facebook so when the advertisers paid to use the option, Facebook would transfer a portion of the money received to the third-party company that harvested the data.
The social media giant plans to gradually phase out the service, known as “Partner Categories,” within half a year.
“We want to let advertisers know that we will be shutting down Partner Categories,” it said in a statement, noting that “while this is common industry practice, we believe this step, winding down over the next six months, will improve people’s privacy on Facebook.”
The decision comes on the heels of a data mining scandal involving the British firm Cambridge Analytica, which is accused of harvesting the data of 50 million Facebook users without their explicit knowledge or consent. Earlier this week, a legal complaint was filed against the firm, with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the US Department of Justice alleging it violated the law barring foreign entities from engaging in political campaigning. Several reports and whistleblowers linked the firm to the Donald Trump presidential bid, alleging his campaign forked out $ 5 million to pay for its services.
In the wake of the scandal, the social media giant’s stocks plummeted and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg offered an extensive apology, in which he described the leak of users’ personal data as a “breach of trust.” The attempt at damage control, however, did not move the EU, which accused Facebook and its CEO of a lackluster response and demanded guarantees that such a scenario would not be repeated.
Faced with an unprecedented public backlash, Zuckerberg has reportedly decided to testify before Congress on the issue. At the same time, he refused to appear before the British Parliament, sparking outrage in the UK, while offering to send one of his senior staffers to give evidence to MPs.

While most people have probably made the switch by now, yet another reason to drop 32-bit operating systems and move to 64-bits is coming. Version 390 of Nvidia’s graphics drivers, likely to arrive in January, will be the last to contain support for 32-bit versions of Windows (7, 8/8.1, and 10), Linux, and FreeBSD.
There will be another year of security updates for 32-bit drivers, but all new features, performance enhancements, and support for new hardware will require the use of a 64-bit operating system and 64-bit drivers.
Reasons to stick with 32-bit Windows are at this point few and far between. 64-bit Windows has superior security to 32-bit, and while it varies with workload, 64-bit applications can run somewhat faster than 32-bit counterparts; for workloads that won’t fit within the constraints of 32-bit software, the difference is of course enormous. Generally, those who continue to use the 32-bit operating system tend to be subject to some kind of legacy constraint. 32-bit drivers won’t work in 64-bit Windows, so obscure but mission critical hardware can extend the life of 32-bit systems.

The US military has received no guidance on how to enforce the ceasefire now in place in southwest Syria, even as the Trump administration hails it as a success, three Defense Department officials told BuzzFeed News on Monday.
US military officials said they don’t have any formal role in the ceasefire, or in monitoring or enforcing it in any way. It is unclear whether the US military is collecting intelligence in the area that might be useful in highlighting violations.
“You’d think we would be a part of it,” one US military official explained.
The lack of US involvement in monitoring the ceasefire raises questions about how effective the deal will be and who precisely is enforcing it. Officials were apparently still ironing out the details even after the deal went into effect on Sunday.
On Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that the signatories to the deal — the US, Russia and Jordan — had agreed to create a monitoring center for southwest Syria that would be based in the Jordanian capital Amman.
President Trump had already celebrated the agreement in a tweet on Sunday, saying it “seems to be holding” and that it was the product of his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, on Friday.
Yet, just east of one province covered by the agreement and west of where US-backed troops are located, Syrian forces, backed by Russian airpower, reportedly attacked opposition forces on Monday. It — literally — bordered on defiance of the agreement.
In announcing the agreement last week, Lavrov said that the US and Russia “promised to ensure that all groups there comply with the ceasefire.” But the precise role of the US military is unclear in the deal, which calls for an end to fighting in what Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called a “de-escalation zone” in three Syrian provinces — Deraa, Suweida, and Quneitra.
Southwest Syria hasn’t been a US military priority because few ISIS forces operate there. According to a review of daily US Central Command statements on military actions against ISIS, there have been no US coalition airstrikes in the area in the last month. Throughout the nearly three-year US-led air campaign against ISIS, airstrikes in southwest Syria have only been sporadic.
Instead, the area is dominated by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and opposition groups, many of them not backed by the US, including the al-Qaeda-affiliated group formerly known as the Nusra Front. Neither the government nor anti-Assad rebel groups are signatories to the ceasefire.
The ISIS forces that are believed to be in the area have recently consolidated their positions in southwestern Deraa province, near where the borders of Syria, Jordan, and Israel meet. In February, the Jordanians confirmed they had conducted cross-border strikes in that area.
US military officials said the best explanation for their not having been looped into the ceasefire agreement was the speed with which it came together. “This was quickly negotiated by the diplomatic community,” said one Pentagon official.
Over the weekend, Jordan’s Minister of State for Media Affairs Mohammad Momani suggested that the agreement would stop fighting along the border, and that it is monitoring the agreement, according to a state media report. The Jordanians also said the deal called for resumed access to humanitarian aid.
But officials have struggled to spell out the details. A State Department senior official, who was involved in reaching the agreement and who briefed reporters on Friday, said that there were still enforcement details to be worked out, even as the deal was set to go into effect.
“The US likely has two main goals with this ceasefire. This first is to test Russia’s intent and possible capability to adhere to a ceasefire,” said Jennifer Cafarella, a Syria analyst at the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War. “The second is to incentivize US-backed rebels in the south to refocus on ISIS in the south, along the Golan Heights.”
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said there has been only light military activity in the three affected provinces since the ceasefire took effect at noon on Sunday.
The ceasefire is the latest of at least five ceasefires to have been declared in the six-year war, all of which unraveled quickly, at times because of the lack of an enforcement mechanism. A so-called cessation of hostilities is in place in other parts of Syria, though that agreement doesn’t apply to groups the Russians and Syrians deem to be al-Qaeda affiliates. In the past, the US military has publicly discussed ways to enforce such agreements.
US National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster told reporters aboard the president’s plane returning from the G20 on Saturday that the agreement was the first step in ending the war in Syria — but didn’t explain why such efforts should begin in that part of Syria. He called it “the very beginning” of an attempt to stabilize “a portion of Syria” in search of “enduring political settlements.” But he said the US goal remains defeating ISIS and other terror groups, and not resolving Syria’s civil war.
