Snapchat is introducing new Friendship Profiles that will celebrate your relationships with your closest friends. The feature will dig up some of the highlights of the conversations shared between you and your friends. Snap Inc. is also introducing new Bitmoji-centric features, including Bitmoji Stories and custom Bitmoji merchandise that will be sold through Snapchat.

Friendship Profiles will surface some of the stuff you and your friends have saved over the course of your time using Snapchat together. Chat messages, photos, videos and other content — basically anything that you and your friends have saved in your conversations will be surfaced to remind you of those shared moments. The memories will be showcased privately and can be accessed by tapping on your friends’ Bitmoji. Friendship Profiles will start rolling out today. Snapchat says they will be available to users globally in the coming weeks.

In addition to the Friendship Profiles, Snapchat is also rolling out some new Bitmoji content. First is Bitmoji Stories, which are comic book-style tales that will star your Bitmoji and feature appearances from your friends. The stories will start to appear in the Discover feed on November 14th, with new content cropping up over the next several weeks. They will be available only to English speakers for the time being.

Snapchat Bitmoji Stories

If that’s not enough Bitmoji for you, Snapchat is also launching Bitmoji Merch. You’ll be able to plaster the cartoon versions of you and your friends on all kinds of gear including t-shirts, mugs, shower curtains and phone cases. The Bitmoji merch will be available starting November 15th. You can access it by visiting the Settings menu in Snapchat, then selecting the Snap Store. The feature will only be available for iOS users in the United States to start.

Snapchat Bitmoji Merch

Snpachat has been putting a considerable amount of effort into beefing up its offerings to keep people on the app engaged. Earlier this year, it dragged Bitmoji outside of the Snapchat ecosystem so users could share stickers with their friends across iOS apps using the Bitmoji Keyboard. It’s also beefed up customization options for the cartoon characters and opened up its platform to third-party developers to create new ways to interact through Snapchat.

Lots of software developers and apps may have access to your Facebook data that you don’t remember granting.

If you’re worried about your digital privacy, now is a good time to check up on your “Facebook Platform” settings, which is the tool that Trump-affiliated data firm Cambridge Analytica used to illicitly obtain personal, private data from 50 million Facebook users.

They got this data from Facebook itself. The Guardian reported that the data was collected through an app called “thisisyourdigitallife,” built by a Aleksandr Kogan, a Cambridge academic. 

Facebook says that everyone whose data are in the Cambridge Analytica set “knowingly provided their information.” 

“Aleksandr Kogan requested and gained access to information from users who chose to sign up to his app, and everyone involved gave their consent,” Facebook’s Paul Grewal, a deputy general counsel, wrote. “People knowingly provided their information, no systems were infiltrated, and no passwords or sensitive pieces of information were stolen or hacked.”

It turns out that before 2014, Facebook used to let app developers obtain data from users and their connections when they used Facebook to log into an app. 

This is exceedingly common — I checked my own Facebook account and realized that I had given over 200 apps access to my personal data.

Here’s how to do your own checkup. 

I had allowed way more apps to access my Facebook data than I initially expected — 231 apps in total.

Even worse, I was letting apps my Facebook friends installed take some of my Facebook data, too, including my current city, and my likes.

While some of the apps I connected to Facebook were legitimate services, like Spotify or Airbnb, a lot of them were dumb one-off quizzes I took years ago. For example, this quiz about a 2009 Miley Cyrus hit.

This app could access my friends list, my status updates, my birthday, photos, and lots of other personal data. Luckily there was a button at the bottom to revoke access.

  • Facebook and Cambridge Analytica have been implicated in a massive data breach.
  • Personal data from 50 million profiles is at stake, a former employee warned.
  • The details can be hard to follow, so Business Insider has broken down what’s going on.

Facebook and data analytics company Cambridge Analytica (CA) are in hot water after a whistleblower revealed that CA harvested data from 50 million Facebook users without their knowledge or consent.

Former employee Christopher Wylie went public with the story over the weekend for an extensive, densely-reported article in Britain’s Observer newspaper.

PlayStation is putting your user profile on the web. Head over to the PlayStation website today and you’ll find a new tab in the upper right corner that says “My PlayStation.” Click it and you’ll see what looks like a classic Facebook profile page. Your photo is in the upper left, along with your trophy collection, friends list and who’s online. You can also compare your trophy progress/collection against friends. Basically, it takes a lot of the functionality you’d need to turn your PS4 on or open a mobile app to get and puts it in your browser. There’s a lot of empty white space, but compared to Xbox.com’s overwhelmingly cluttered dashboard — the US PS Blog isn’t much better — the minimalism is appreciated. It feels a little too barren at this point, though.

There are still a few kinks. For example, your custom header image mirrors that of what’s on your PS4 profile. So, if you haven’t set one, it’ll stay the default blue. More than that, it looks like the only way to set a header image is from your console — not the web. Also, under the “edit profile” tab, there wasn’t a way to save any changes I made, like adding my middle initial to my name. It’d be nice to see what PS4 communities you’re a part of reflected on the web as well. It’s still early days and Sony promises to keep adding features, so these niggles could be ironed out soon.

OkCupid is clearly eager to cast off many dating site traditions. Next on the chopping block: usernames. The service has announced that it will require “real” first names in dating profiles (in a tweet it said “You do not need to use your government name or even your full first name”), starting now with an initial test group and rolling out to everyone over time. As the company explains, it doesn’t want the real you to be “hidden beneath another layer of mystique” — it figures that your profile should offer insight into your personality, not your handle.

To some extent, OkCupid is just joining the modern era. Numerous other dating apps require your first name, so you’re not left wondering how to address someone when you meet them in person. And of course, creeps may be more willing to message you if they can hide behind an alias.

However, the decision reduces your chances to maintain your anonymity. Real first names theoretically make it easier for harassers to track people down or attack them based on their gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Facebook’s initial approach to real names created serious problems for women, the LGBT community and others who are trying to avoid harassers, stalkers and bigots.

OkCupid tells Engadget that it takes privacy “very seriously” and notes that it has taken some steps to make it difficult to creep on others, such as removing profiles from its Google search index. It also reiterates that it’s not asking for anything more than your first name, and that you can use a nickname if you prefer. You still have some wiggle room to remain elusive. Even so, the policy shift gives you one less place where you can completely mask who you are until you’re comfortable revealing more.

A trove of documents created during a federal investigation into Princeton University offers an unprecedented glimpse at how elite college admissions officers talk about race.

Outsiders have long debated how the secretive Ivy League admissions system considers the race of its applicants. Within the schools, such discussions form one of the most closely guarded elements of a process that has remained remarkably opaque for decades.

But documents obtained by BuzzFeed News show Princeton’s admissions officers repeatedly wrote of Asian applicants as being difficult to differentiate, referring to them dismissively as having “very familiar profiles,” calling them “standard premeds,” or “difficult to pluck out.” The comments were noted by civil rights investigators at the Education Department as they probed allegations of racial bias in the school’s admissions system.

Of a Hispanic applicant, an admissions officer wrote, “Tough to see putting her ahead of others. No cultural flavor in app.” Of a black student, another said, “Very few African Americans with verbal scores like this.”

The documents highlight the tricky, perhaps impossible, legal tightrope that elite colleges must walk as they choose the lucky few they will accept each year. The schools want to select a racially diverse student body, but they cannot accept or reject applicants based primarily on their race. And they cannot set quotas for the number of students from a particular race who are admitted, even as the goal of a diverse student body essentially requires it.

At times, the documents show, admissions officers twist themselves into bizarre knots as they consider — and dance around — the issue of applicants’ race. “Were there a touch more cultural flavor I’d be more enthusiastic,” one officer wrote of a Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander.

The comments were unearthed by government investigators after two Asian students who had been rejected by the school complained of racial discrimination. In 2008, the Education Department began an investigation into the matter, collecting reams of detailed information on 539 individual applicants, probing how and why admissions officers decided who to admit.

In interviews with the Education Department, Princeton admissions officers who wrote the comments denied that they were comparing groups of applicants by race. Remarks that Asians fit a “familiar profile,” officers repeatedly told investigators, were not related to racial stereotypes, but resumes that were similar to other students.

An admissions officer who wrote “Not many Native Americans with scores like this” of one candidate told investigators they had been speaking only of broad, national trends, not comparing Native American applicants amongst one another.

The department’s investigation ultimately backed this up, concluding that “at no point in time during the admissions process were … applicants of any other racial group separated out to be compared specifically to other applicants of their same racial group.” The investigators concluded that Princeton did not discriminate based on race or judge candidates solely by their race, instead using it as one piece in a broader picture of applicants.

Admissions officers had made comments “associated with Asian stereotypes,” the investigators wrote, but they made similar comments about white and other minority applicants.

An investigator questioned an admissions officer after an Asian student was described eagerly by a counterpart as a “first-generation Chinese student whose own life has not been easy, trying to make the lives of others better through service. One of the best we’ll ever see from [high school].”

The second officer was less enthusiastic. “Perfectly able and appealing,” the officer wrote. “Very familiar profile.”

“Bright premed, but like many others,” another admissions officer wrote of an Asian applicant.

BuzzFeed News obtained a number of documents from the investigation through a Freedom of Information Act request. Princeton has sued the Education Department to prevent the release of many more, in a suit that involves an anti-affirmative action group, Students for Fair Admissions.

The files released show that in brief summaries meant to present applicants to a committee, officers candidly discussed the race of black, Latino, and Native American applicants, often seemingly searching for those who highlighted their racial backgrounds rather than checking off boxes on their Common Applications.

“Nice essays, sweet personality,” one admissions officer said of a multiracial applicant. “Bi-racial but not [National Hispanic Recognition Program] and no recognition of her [background] in app by anyone.” The National Hispanic Recognition Program recognizes high-performing students who are “at least one-quarter Hispanic/Latino.”

When one reader called an applicant’s Native American heritage “appealing”, the other noted that the only place the boy had mentioned the heritage was in a checkbox on his Common Application. He called himself “a white boy,” the admissions officer noted.

The interviews do not show the same pattern with Princeton’s Asian applicants. Admissions officers were only asked once about a time when they explicitly mentioned an applicant’s Asian background as a positive — a half-Korean, half-Hispanic applicant that the officer called a “neat blend.”

While the investigation concluded years ago, the paper trail it generated is now the subject of an ongoing legal struggle. Students for Fair Admissions, an anti-affirmative action group that has made a practice of suing elite colleges over their admissions policies, is pushing for the release of all the documents, claiming they contain proof of racial discrimination.

The group — led by Edward Blum, who has crusaded to end race-based laws across the country, including the Voting Rights Act — have demanded access to the Education Department’s full investigation, including years of data and detailed admissions files for hundreds of applicants.

Only a small number of those files have so far been handed over, after Princeton took the unusual step of suing to block the release of the rest, claiming it would violate students’ privacy and damage the university’s reputation.

“Right now the process is so shrouded in secrecy – to the point that Princeton is claiming that to provide any information about how students are admitted would represent revealing trade secrets,” said Richard Kahlenberg, a senior fellow at the left-leaning Century Foundation and an affirmative action critic who works with Students for Fair Admissions. “It’s pretty extraordinary.”

A Princeton spokesman, Daniel Day, said in a statement to BuzzFeed News: “Given the holistic nature of the University’s review, it would be misleading to draw any conclusions from isolated words and phrases that were made by individual readers more than a decade ago.”

The documents that have yet to be released include the actual application files, the full comments from admissions officers, and — perhaps most important to those accusing Princeton of discrimination — detailed data about how many students of each racial group applied and were admitted, as well as their academic credentials.

Students for Fair Admissions has already successfully obtained six years of admissions data from Harvard University, which it is suing over similar allegations, despite a fight by the university to keep it secret. It wants similar data for Princeton; Blum has called that information a potential “smoking gun” in their wide-ranging case for discrimination against Asians.

Every admissions officer interviewed by the Education Department said explicitly that they did not think it was more difficult for Asian-Americans to be admitted.

But Blum, Kahlenberg, and others say that the data that is available undermines this assertion. They argue that while the share of Asians applying to Ivy League and other elite schools has risen steadily, the percentage of Asians making up their classes has stayed relatively stable. Meanwhile, they say, research shows that Asians must score significantly higher on their standardized tests in order to be admitted — 140 points higher than a white student, according to one study.

Students for Fair Admissions claims that at the root of this alleged discrimination against Asian-Americans is affirmative action itself. By admitting black, Latino, and Native American applicants with lower academic scores, they say, elite colleges are discriminating against Asians — and whites, who also generally must score higher on tests to be admitted, though not as high as Asian-Americans.

Many Asian-American groups argue, however, that the campaigners are less concerned with the plight of Asian students than they are with ending affirmative action altogether.

The activist group is using Asian-Americans as a “wedge to accomplish the decimation of a program that benefits African-Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and historically, at times, Asian Americans,” said Nicole Ochi, an attorney with Asian Americans Advancing Justice-LA, a group that is opposing SFA in a lawsuit. The majority of Asian-Americans support affirmative action, Ochi noted.

If Asian-Americans are being discriminated against in college admissions — an assertion Ochi said she hasn’t “seen any real data” to support — “that’s something we’d be interested in looking at and fighting against, because we represent Asian-Americans. But the remedy for that is not getting rid of affirmative action.”

Facebook has doubled its efforts to tackle fake news in the UK. As the nation heads towards a snap general election, the company has removed “tens of thousands” of accounts which it believes were involved in the spread of misinformation. The crack-down is attributed to new detection tools, first announced in April, which can spot suspicious patterns of activity, including repeat posting and sudden spikes in post volume. Tackling these bogus accounts will, as a byproduct, curb the spread of spam, fake news and other “deceptive content,” Facebook claims.

The company has also been tweaking the algorithm which decides what content appears in your News Feed. Following a trial in the US, Facebook is burying stories in the UK which are read but rarely shared by users. That ratio, the company claims, is a pretty good indicator that an article is misleading or contains false information. Facebook will now use this “signal” to improve its News Feed in the UK, reducing visibility for “outlier” articles which don’t line up with what the rest of the press is reporting.

Following its newspaper blitz in Germany, Facebook is trying a similar tactic in the UK. It’s planning a range of full-age ads in The Times, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph, among others, which list 10 tips for spotting fake news. Some are fairly straightforward — be skeptical of headlines, investigate the source, and check for other reports — while others are genuinely insightful, touching on post formatting, doctored photos and phoney, look-alike URLs. Lastly, the company is teaming up with UK fact-checking charity Full Fact and reporting nonprofit First Draft to help news organisations assess fact and fiction during the election.

“People want to see accurate information on Facebook and so do we,” Simon Milner, Facebook’s director of policy for the UK said. “That is why we are doing everything we can to tackle the problem of fake news.”

Facebook and Google have been heavily criticised for their role in the growth and distribution of fake news. A cross-party group of MPs is investigating the wider issue, while News Media Association — a representative body for British newspapers — calls for a deeper look into Facebook and Google’s influence. Both companies have since taken steps to curb the issue. These include better reporting tools and summaries from reputable, independent fact-checkers. Still, the problem remains. The worry is that false news will impact an upcoming election — France seems to have come through unscathed, but the UK and Germany remain.

Barack Obama urged Congress not to repeal the Affordable Care Act on Sunday, marking his most significant foray into the healthcare debate since leaving office in January.

Obama was accepting the Profiles in Courage Award at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston when his speech turned to healthcare reform. Without mentioning the ACA by name, or noting that House Republicans voted to repeal and replace it Thursday, the former president commended members of Congress who helped pass his healthcare bill in 2009, costing many their political careers.

“It is my fervent hope and the hope of millions that regardless of party, such courage is still possible,” Obama said. “That today’s members of Congress, regardless of party, are willing to look at the facts and speak the truth, even when it contradicts party positions.”

He then encouraged lawmakers not to replace his signature legislative achievement with the American Health Care Act, which some analysts predict would disproportionately hurt the poor and sick.

“I hope that current members of Congress recall that it actually doesn’t take a lot of courage to aid those who are already powerful, already comfortable, already influential, but it does require some courage to champion the vulnerable, and the sick, and the infirm — those who often have no access to the corridors of power,” he said. 

“I hope they understand that courage means not simply doing what is politically expedient, but doing what they believe deep in their hearts is right,” he added.

The American Health Care Act now moves to the Senate, where it faces an uncertain future. A group of Republican senators has begun drafting legislation that is set to look different than the House-passed legislation.
