Breaking Facebook was collecting personal data via app

Facebook was gathering call, SMS, and MMS metadata for years via its android app

Maybe check your data archive to see if Facebook’s algorithms know who you called.

Android's permissions system used to be more permissive than it should have been. Facebook was taking advantage of that little loophole to harvest call and SMS data.

This past week, a New Zealand man was looking through the data Facebook had collected from him in an archive he had pulled down from the social networking site. While scanning the information Facebook had stored about his contacts, Dylan McKay discovered something distressing: Facebook also had about two years' worth of phone call metadata from his Android phone, including names, phone numbers, and the length of each call made or received.

Good News Boost for 'Make in India': Govt halves import duty on TV panel part to 5%

The government has slashed the duty on a key component of TV panel to 5% from 10% at present, giving relief to companies. TV makers said the move will drive in affordability and lead to creation of manufacturing jobs.

The 10% duty had been imposed on ‘open cell’, the most critical part in a TV panel, in the Union Budget, which had prompted companies to look for a 5-6% increase in retail price. Also, they had complained that the measure would impact job creation as import of fully-built TVs would become more lucrative than making them in India. TOI had highlighted the problems faced by TV companies in a report carried in the March 17 edition.
