Début mai, les utilisateurs de produits Apple, qui sont généralement aussi titulaires d'un identifiant Apple, pourront se rendre sur le portail de gestion de leur compte pour y télécharger une copie de toutes les données stockées sur les serveurs du constructeur. Bloomberg explique également que le site permettra à l'utilisateur de modifier les informations personnelles le concernant, de désactiver temporairement leur compte, et de le supprimer.

Si l'on peut déjà éditer une partie de son profil depuis le site d'Apple, en télécharger les données exige actuellement d'en passer directement par le constructeur. Si l'Europe est la première concernée par ces nouveautés (le reste du monde le sera par la suite), c'est pour une bonne raison : c'est à partir du 25 mai qu'entre en vigueur dans l'Union européenne le règlement géné ...

Chez SFR, un rapport commandé à un cabinet d'audit se montre extrêmement critique sur la stratégie du groupe, et notamment sur ses massives suppressions de poste, jugées injustifiées.

What timing! Snapchat is building a way for people to use their Snapchat account to connect with third-party apps. The idea, in theory, would let Snapchat users grant outside companies access to their Snapchat data to help personalize other services.
If that’s the case — and it looks like it is, based on these screenshots Mashable published on Tuesday — it would mean that Snap is building out the same kind of API that just got Facebook into a whole mess of trouble.
You can’t make these things up.
Mashable saw a beta version of Snapchat with a new section called “Connected Apps,” with text that reads, “These apps are connected to your Snapchat account. Choose an app to control what it has access to.”
Snapchat currently has an advertising API so people can buy ads through third-party dashboards, but it doesn’t let people use their Snapchat account on other apps, or help people connect with their Snapchat friends on other platforms...

During the second half of the 1980s, the arrival of the compact disc turned the music business into a money-spinning juggernaut, with the format moving from essentially zero early in the decade to 400 million units produced in 1988 alone. But that explosive growth was driven less by superstars of the era — although ...

L’affaire Cambridge Analytica est pleine de rebondissements et le #DeleteFacebook continue de se propager, Facebook ne semble vraiment pas en bonne posture.

Snapchat has moved into the true crime genre after launching its first original in the space. The social media company has ordered True Crime, a series of 4 minute documentaries that will each look at a different crime, including murders and disappearances.
I understand that the show, which launches today in English-speaking markets, is being produced by Condé Nast's video team. Each episode will focus on a different case. It was ordered by Snap's head of original content…

It looks like Facebook’s U.S. user growth has officially peaked. It’s starting to feel official: Facebook’s U.S. audience is as big as it’s going to get.
Facebook is massive in this country. More than two-thirds of Americans, specifically 68 percent, use the service, according to new research from Pew Research Center.
The troubling news: If you’re a Facebook investor, that number hasn’t increased over the past two years. Roughly 68 percent of U.S. adults used Facebook in 2016, too.

This shouldn’t come as a total shock. Facebook reported its first quarter-over-quarter decline in daily users in the U.S. and Canada at the end of 2017. And while the decline was small, just 700,000 users, it served as a red flag that the company may finally be tapped out in its most valuable market.
Facebook CFO Dave Wehner may disagree. Speaking at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference on Wednesday he addressed the decline in North Amer ...

It probably won’t look like this for long. The media landscape used to be straightforward: Content companies — studios — made stuff — TV shows and movies — and sold it to pay TV distributors, who sold it to consumers.
Now things are up for grabs: Netflix buys stuff from the studios, but it’s making its own stuff, too, and it’s selling it directly to consumers. That’s one of the reasons older media companies are trying to compete by consolidating. And new distributors like Verizon and AT&T are getting in on the action. AT&T, for instance, wants to merge with Time Warner.
Meanwhile, giant tech companies like Google, Amazon and Apple that used to be on the sidelines are getting closer and closer to the action.
To help sort this all out, we’ve created a diagram that organizes distributors, content companies and internet video companies by market cap and their main lines of business.
Here’s what the Big Media universe cu ...
