Proceeding against Google based on new rules for large digital players (Section 19a GWB) – Bundeskartellamt examines Google's significance for competition across markets and its data processing terms
Date of issue: 25.05.2021
The Bundeskartellamt has today initiated two proceedings against Google Germany GmbH, Hamburg, Google Ireland Ltd., Dublin, Ireland, and Alphabet Inc., Mountain View, USA, based on the new competition law provisions applicable to large digital companies. In the past months, the authority has already commenced investigations against Facebook (see press release of 28 January 2021) and Amazon (see press release of 18 May 2021) based on this new competition law tool.
In January 2021, the 10th amendment to the German Competition Act (GWB Digitalisation Act) came into force. A key new provision (Section 19a GWB) enables the authority to intervene earlier and more effectively, in particular against the practices of large digital companies. In a two-step procedure, the Bundeskartellamt can prohibit companies which are of paramount significance for competition across markets from engaging in anti-competitive practices.
Today, the Bundeskartellamt has initiated a proceeding to determine whether the company is of paramount significance across markets.
Andreas Mundt, President of the Bundeskartellamt: "“An ecosystem which extends across various markets may be an indication that a company holds such a market position. It is often very difficult for other companies to challenge this position of power. Due to the large number of digital services offered by Google, such as the Google search engine, YouTube, Google Maps, the Android operating system or the Chrome browser, the company could be considered to be of paramount significance for competition across markets.”"
In a second proceeding based on this general classification also initiated today, the Bundeskartellamt will undertake an in-depth analysis of Google’s data processing terms.
Andreas Mundt: "“Google’s business model relies to a very large extent on processing data relating to its users. Due to its established access to data relevant for competition, Google enjoys a strategic advantage. We will therefore take a close look at the company’s data processing terms. A key question in this context is whether consumers wishing to use Google’s services have sufficient choice as to how Google will use their data.”"

Apple, Fedex and the cookie apocalypse
We’re now a couple of weeks into Apple’s latest iOS privacy move. If you want to track users between apps and the web, or from an ad through the app store to an install, then you need to ask permission and Apple has deliberately framed the question such that almost no-one will say yes. On some reports, CPMs are already down by half.
We could spend a lot of time arguing about the rights and wrongs of privacy and Apple’s framing and steering and use of its market dominance, but it’s probably more useful to suggest that all Apple has really done is implement the EU and California’s cookie laws, ‘but in apps’, and in an especially aggressive way. Step up another level, and this reflects a pretty broad shift in attitudes towards privacy in general and the huge inverted pyramid of complexity and nonsense of third party ad tracking in particular. Chrome and Safari are turning third party cookies off anyway. The cookie apocalypse is upon us and the tracking model of the last 25 years is going away.
What happens next? No-one in advertising quite knows. There are dozens of different projects for new ‘private’ ways to track users across different sites with different identity or logged-in models, but the most interesting remains Google’s FLoC, in which the browser analyses your behaviour and puts you into (mostly) anonymous, interest-based cohorts. The publisher can ask for a cohort and show you ads, but your actual activity never leaves your device. Apple does more or less the same thing on iOS in its News and Stocks apps, except that Apple also serves the ads and displays the content, so the underlying publishers see nothing at all (except a wire transfer). I think it’s very likely that Apple is looking at offering this in third-party apps and in Safari as well (I wrote about that here). So, Apple and Google want to move the tracking from the server to the client, and to one company with one point for the user to control instead of disaggregation across hundreds of publishers and ad-tech companies.
There’s a bunch of reasons why this might not work, not least that no-one except Google and Apple want Google and Apple to have that much control over publishing and advertising. But it’s also worth stepping up another level again, and asking what advertisers are trying to do, anyway. People say ‘privacy’ so often that one can lose sight of the fact that advertisers don’t care who you are - they just want to show ads to people that might be interested in them, and not to show ads to people who won’t be interested. They don’t want to ‘violate your privacy’ - they want to show diaper ads to parents, car ads to people who want a car and watch ads to rich people.

As cookie-based ads go away, does the targeting move from the cloud to the client, or from the reader to the content? Does this make the strong stronger? Or does the money go to Fedex instead?
Comcast Subscriber Receives DMCA Notice for Downloading Ubuntu
Every day, people who download and share pirated content receive DMCA notices via their ISPs, warning them to cease and desist their infringing behavior. While the majority of these notices are accurate, one Ubuntu user says he has just been targeted by an anti-piracy company alleging that by torrenting an OS ISO released by Ubuntu itself, he breached copyright law.
Two decades ago, the BitTorrent protocol revolutionized peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing. The content-agnostic system allowed people to efficiently share and download even the largest files and soon grew to become the dominant method of transfer for millions of file-sharers.
Over the years, people have shared all kinds of content using torrents and it quickly became associated with mass copyright infringement of movies, TV shows, music and everything in between. However, BitTorrent is also used to distribute large volumes of data with the blessing of rightsholders, with the sharing of Linux distros a prime example.
Indeed, large companies such as Ubuntu owner Canonical actively encourage the distribution of their packages via BitTorrent, even going as far as operating their own tracker. This is effectively a green light for users to obtain Ubuntu using BitTorrent and is universally considered to be entirely safe. However, a development yesterday caused mass confusion when a user was accused of copyright infringement via a notice from his ISP.
Anti-Piracy Firm Sends DMCA Notice Against Comcast User
Posting to Reddit’s /r/linux sub-Reddit, a forum with more than 656K subscribers, ‘NateNate60’ reported the unthinkable. After downloading an official Ubuntu ISO package (filename ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso) he says he received a notice from Comcast’s Infinity claiming that he’d been reported for copyright infringement.
“We have received a notification by a copyright owner, or its authorized agent, reporting an alleged infringement of one or more copyrighted works made on or over your Xfinity Internet service,” the posted notice reads.
NateNate60 wisely redacted the notice to remove the ‘Incident Number’ and the precise time of the alleged infringement to protect his privacy but the clam was reported filed with Comcast on May 24, 2021.

WhatsApp sues Indian government over ‘mass surveillance’ internet laws
Lawsuit says controversial new laws are unconstitutional and violate the right to the preservation of privacy
WhatsApp has sued the Indian government over new internet laws which the company says will “severely undermine” the privacy of their users.
The new IT laws, which have been called oppressive and draconian, give the Indian government greater power to monitor online activity, including on encrypted apps like WhatsApp and Signal. They were passed in February but were due to come into effect on Wednesday.
Under the laws, encryption – which keeps communications on the app private and inaccessible to outside parties – would have to be removed from WhatsApp in India and messages would have to be put into a “traceable” database. The government would then be able to identify and take action against the sender if any content was ruled “unlawful”.
A lawyer for WhatsApp told the Delhi high court: “A government that chooses to mandate traceability is effectively mandating a new form of mass surveillance.
In order to trace even one message, services would have to trace every message. There is no way to predict which message Indian government would want to investigate in the future.”

Edward Snowden Hails Court Ruling as Progress on Acknowledging 'Devastation' of Mass Surveillance
Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden hailed a new ruling out of a European court on intelligence-gathering practices, emphasizing "how far we've come" on acknowledging the "devastating consequences" of mass surveillance.
"It is hard to overemphasize how far we've come from the pre-2013 world when even the highest judicial authorities are beginning to acknowledge the devastating consequence of two decades' mass surveillance," Snowden tweeted in response to the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights' recent decision.

Hacktivist Posts Massive Scrape of Crime App Citizen to Dark Web
The cache includes data on 1.7 million incidents, giving insight into the scale of Citizen around the country.
A hacktivist has scraped a wealth of data from the crime and neighborhood watch app Citizen and posted it on a dark web site, Motherboard has learned. The data includes a huge amount of data related to 1.7 million "incidents"—events that Citizen informs users about concerning crime or perceived crime in their area—such as the GPS coordinates of where the incident took place, its update history, a clip of the police radio that the incident relates to, and associated images.
On their dark web site, called "The Concerned Citizen's Citizen Hack," the hacker writes "Fuck snitches, fuck Citizen, fuck Andrew Frame and remember, kids: Cops are not your friends." Andrew Frame is the CEO of Citizen; Frame was responsible for putting a $30,000 bounty for information that would lead to the arrest of a person the company mistakenly suspected of starting a recent wildfire, The Verge reported.
Much of this information would ordinarily be available to users as part of the normal functioning of the Citizen app. But with the hacker scraping it en masse and releasing it as a series of files to download, the data is qualitatively different from what the Citizen app offers, and allows journalists and researchers to gain greater insight into the use and spread of the app around the country. The scrape is somewhat similar to other recent mass collections and redistributions of public information, such as the Parler scrape that occurred after the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
"It's like a full log of police activity in multiple U.S. cities," the hacker, who said they affiliate themselves with the hacking collective Anonymous, told Motherboard. Citizen incidents are often (but not always) linked to police activity; Citizen produces its own summaries of events by listening to police scanners and pushing alerts about them to Citizen users. Users can also contribute their own videos.

Flashpoint and Chainalysis Investigate Cryptocurrency Cybercrime on Russian Dark Market “Hydra”
Since Hydra’s launch in 2016, cryptocurrency activity conducted through the illicit marketplace has skyrocketed: growing from $9.4 million in 2016 to $1.37 billion in 2020.
When profits from illicit sales leave Hydra seller accounts, the money trails go dark. Sellers use veiled, in-region financial operators to convert their withdrawals into Russian fiat currencies and obfuscate further steps in the financial chain.

Japanese government agencies suffer data breaches after Fujitsu hack
Offices of multiple Japanese agencies were breached via Fujitsu's "ProjectWEB" information sharing tool.
Fujitsu states that attackers gained unauthorized access to projects that used ProjectWEB, and stole some customer data.
It is not yet clear if this breach occurred because of a vulnerability exploit, or a targeted supply-chain attack, and an investigation is ongoing.
Attackers accessed at least 76,000 email addresses
Yesterday, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the National Cyber Security Center (NISC) of Japan announced that attackers were able to obtain inside information via Fujitsu's information-sharing tool.
Fujitsu also said that attackers had gained unauthorized access to projects that used ProjectWEB, and stolen proprietary data.
Fujitsu's ProjectWEB enables companies and organizations to exchange information internally, with project managers and stakeholders, for example.

Offices of multiple Japanese agencies were breached via Fujitsu's "ProjectWEB" information sharing tool.
Fujitsu states that attackers gained unauthorized access to projects that used ProjectWEB, and stole some customer data.
It is not yet clear if this breach occurred because of a vulnerability exploit, or a targeted supply-chain attack, and an investigation is ongoing.
Attackers accessed at least 76,000 email addresses
Yesterday, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the National Cyber Security Center (NISC) of Japan announced that attackers were able to obtain inside information via Fujitsu's information-sharing tool.
Fujitsu also said that attackers had gained unauthorized access to projects that used ProjectWEB, and stolen proprietary data.
Fujitsu's ProjectWEB enables companies and organizations to exchange information internally, with project managers and stakeholders, for example.

Boss of ATM Skimming Syndicate Arrested in Mexico
Florian “The Shark” Tudor, the alleged ringleader of a prolific ATM skimming gang that siphoned hundreds of millions of dollars from bank accounts of tourists visiting Mexico over the last eight years, was arrested in Mexico City on Thursday in response to an extradition warrant from a Romanian court.
Tudor, a native of Craiova, Romania, moved to Mexico to set up Top Life Servicios, an ATM servicing company which managed a fleet of relatively new ATMs based in Mexico branded as Intacash.

More than half of Europeans want to replace lawmakers with AI, study says
Researchers at IE University's Center for the Governance of Change asked 2,769 people from 11 countries worldwide how they would feel about reducing the number of national parliamentarians in their country and giving those seats to an AI that would have access to their data.
The results, published Thursday, showed that despite AI's clear and obvious limitations, 51% of Europeans said they were in favor of such a move.
Outside Europe, some 75% of people surveyed in China supported the idea of replacing parliamentarians with AI, while 60% of American respondents opposed it.

US Soldiers Expose Nuclear Weapons Secrets Via Flashcard Apps
For US soldiers tasked with the custody of nuclear weapons in Europe, the stakes are high. Security protocols are lengthy, detailed and need to be known by heart. To simplify this process, some service members have been using publicly visible flashcard learning apps — inadvertently revealing a multitude of sensitive security protocols about US nuclear weapons and the bases at which they are stored.
While the presence of US nuclear weapons in Europe has long been detailed by various leaked documents, photos and statements by retired officials, their specific locations are officially still a secret with governments neither confirming nor denying their presence.
As many campaigners and parliamentarians in some European nations see it, this ambiguity has often hampered open and democratic debate about the rights and wrongs of hosting nuclear weapons.
However, the flashcards studied by soldiers tasked with guarding these devices reveal not just the bases, but even identify the exact shelters with “hot” vaults that likely contain nuclear weapons.
They also detail intricate security details and protocols such as the positions of cameras, the frequency of patrols around the vaults, secret duress words that signal when a guard is being threatened and the unique identifiers that a restricted area badge needs to have.

Your iPhone (and iCloud backups) are full of gigabytes-worth of old iMessages that are virtually impossible to read
Many iPhone owners have iMessages from years ago that they can’t access. For example, my wife and I simply want to read the first few messages that we exchanged in 2017, but we can’t.
Yet we pay for the right to read these messages in two ways: precious space our 64GB iPhones (and Macs) and iCloud storage, which Apple charges us for each month. Many other people have had this problem for several years, a quick Google search reveals ...
The cumbersome way Apple lets you (theoretically) access old messages is to “scroll to the top” of your conversation, but it’s extremely time consuming and doesn’t work in practice. Yesterday I tried to scroll to the “top” of my iMessages that were from and to my wife. After just a few minutes, my computer with 16GB of RAM started “beach balling” and the app froze before I could even get to messages from 6 months ago. Meanwhile, my wife tried to access our earliest messages on her iPhone 8 Plus and it was even sadder: after over 45 minutes of scrolling, she got within a year of the conversation’s beginning and then the iMessages app crashed on her.

The Pirate Bay Remains Resilient, 15 Years After The Raid
Fifteen years ago today The Pirate Bay was raided by dozens of Swedish police officers. The entertainment industries hoped that this would permanently shut down the site, but that was not the case. Instead, the police action inadvertently helped to create one of the most resilient and iconic websites on the Internet.
There are a handful of traditions we have at #TorrentFreak, and remembering the first raid on The Pirate Bay is one of them.
Not only was it the first major story we covered, it also had a significant impact on how the piracy ecosystem evolved over the years. It also changed the lives of the site’s co-founders, who were eventually convicted.
While a lot has changed over the years, The Pirate Bay is still around and there are no signs that this will change anytime soon. What many people may not realize, however, is that without a few essential keystrokes in the site’s early years, the site would be a distant memory today.
This is what happened....

Shieldy got acquired by 1inch Network
I am announcing the acquisition of Shieldy Telegram bot by 1inch Network and telling you my personal story of how I've built, grown and sold Shieldy in detail.
I'm thrilled to announce that @shieldy_bot is now in better hands that are more suitable to grow it past the 20 000 000 users point. I believe that the new owner of Shieldy has better chances of supporting this open-source solution in the long run and bringing more value to the users. After all, I'm just a single guy standing in front of my computer writing code. 1inch has way more resources than I.
In the previous article, I've described how I calculated an estimated value of Shieldy and how I got three acquisition offers ranging from $100 000 to $150 000, which I rejected. In this article, I'm going to tell you the story of Shieldy. Starting from the beginning and up to the point when I sold it to 1inch for $329 000. How and why I built it, how it became popular, how I could find a better future maintainer and why I picked 1inch to succeed me in owning Shieldy (yes, I was fortunate enough to choose my successor). Keep reading!
