Facebook allowed children to chat in groups with strangers

An error in Messenger Kids, the application for children of Facebook, would have allowed minors to have contact with users not approved by parents.

The social platform Facebook accepted that a failure in the service of its messaging platform aimed at children, Messenger Kids , allowed them to participate in group conversations with people who were not approved by their parents.

Consulted by the AFP agency, the social network said that it has been closing the group conversations in which minors have had contact with strangers, also notifying thousands of parents whose children were affected because of this error on their platform.
ecurity failures on Facebook, a constant
Initially reported by the news portal The Verge, the news began to spread by sharing one of the alerts addressed to parents, warning that their children could have created group chats with people who were not on the authorized contact list, despite the fact that participation in the conversation was limited by the configuration of the parents.

Unfortunately, Facebook tries to regain the trust of its users after a series of scandals related to various privacy failures, while at the same time dealing with the pressure of regulators seeking to tidy up the security measures they offer.
What is Messenger Kids?
Messenger Kids is a platform designed so that children, between six and 12 years of age, can communicate through group or individual video calls with trusted contacts, previously approved by their parents. To create a traditional Facebook account it is necessary to have a minimum age of 13 years.

The service was officially presented since 2017 as a safe environment for children who communicated without any security measures through other applications but arrived in Mexico until the middle of last year.

Nokia recognizes that "it is not easy" to implement its own operating system

Nokia logo

Social community June 1 (socialcommunitiesonline). - Nokia has already tried to implement its own operating system, as Huawei is now considering the veto decreed by Washington, although the head of Spain and Portugal of the Finnish firm recognizes that It is not easy to open a hole in a sector dominated by Android and iOS.

"The important thing is not so much the quality of the operating system that you have, but the support that the applications are going to give to that software. That is the critical part, "explained the head of the firm in Spain and Portugal, Luis Peixe, in an interview with Efe.

In this regard, he pointed out that the user who buys a smartphone "takes for granted that he can have the application of his bank, his airline or taxi"

"From my experience, I think that's the hardest part" when it comes to achieving a broad implementation of an independent operating system, the director assured in relation to the agreement that in 2011 Nokia, by then a world leader in the sector, reached with Microsoft to become the main mobile provider with the operating system of the Bill Gates company.

In 2014, and after little commercial success, Microsoft bought the mobile division of Nokia, which meant the abandonment of the Finnish company of a sector that dominated clearly for more than a decade. In 2016 reached an agreement with HDM Global Oy to return to the sector hand in hand with Android.

Now, five years later, the Chinese Huawei is making its way very quickly in the sector, to the point that by 2020 it could snatch Samsung's world leadership, although the recent veto by US President Donald Trump to the Chinese firm could truncate that advance. , since their phones carry the Android operating system, developed by the US Google.

If Trump veto is maintained, Google should stop maintaining commercial relations with Huawei in August, which jeopardizes Android support and updates in the Chinese manufacturer's mobiles.

Asked about this situation, the manager did not want to speak and simply pointed out that Nokia, as a European company with a global presence and five plants in four countries (Vietnam, Argentina, China and India), is "very focused" on Android.

Peixe has highlighted that the Android used by Nokia phones is the same as those of Pixel, the Google brand. "It is a pure Android, without layers," he said. In addition, it offers a guarantee of two years at the time of having the latest versions of this operating system.

«This is something that is not common in all brands. There are some that do it in the high ranges. We do it transversally in all segments, "said the head of the firm in Spain and Portugal.

This strategy, has influenced, is "a differential factor" because "it changes a bit the paradigm of the use of a 'smartphone' since, until now, if you bought a mid-range phone or low the operating system was the same with the step weather".

As for the 5G (the next generation of mobile telephony), which believes that it will be implemented "with force" in 2020, commented that they look "with great interest" the issue and "are working on it", but for now Nokia has not announced nothing concrete "in terms of product".

To compete with the big Asian firms, which clearly dominate the market, Nokia is committed to the aforementioned policy of updates, as well as "reliability, resistance and design", aspects "that are important for the user".

In addition, it has highlighted the technological innovations of the firm, such as the five cameras that equip the Nokia 9, presented in February and that "demonstrates the brand's commitment to the world of photography."

On mobiles with a folding screen, he said that Nokia has nothing to announce in that area, although it is something that the company also follows with attention.

«It is important to understand what is the interest for the consumer. There are things that we focus on and we want to be the first, like the five cameras, and there are others that we look at and try to understand what the best strategy may be, "he concluded.

Invest in assets in the US: the online platform that proposes an estimated return of 40% in dollars

An online platform with more than 30,000 registered investors offers anyone the possibility of participating from US $ 1,000 in a trust, managed by a public trustee registered in CNV, which will invest in the world's largest real estate market.

In 2018 the total value of the housing market in the United States amounted to more than 33 billion dollars, in which two niches of the market stood out above the rest, the Senior Living & Student Housing. Today these real estate developments are raging because of their high occupancy rates of over 95%, which generates returns above the market average.

These niches aim to cover the needs of two of the fastest growing segments of the population: students and the elderly. However, these investment opportunities are reserved only for people with high purchasing power, generally amounts exceeding US $ 1,000,000.

Today, thanks to the power of crowdfunding, Crowdium allows you to invest, from minimum amounts, in a local vehicle that will invest in a diversified asset in real estate in these two segments of the US market. This would allow obtaining estimated returns between 35% and 45% in dollars in 48 months.

Currently, the company distributed to investors in one of its projects, yields of 30% in dollars in a period of 18 months, and in another paid quarterly 12% per year in dollars.

In a context of high volatility and electoral uncertainty, participating in this project is emerging as one of the best investment alternatives of 2019 to diversify into several properties and niches in full swing in the United States.

How to access this opportunity?

Investors can register for free on the Crowdium platform or call investment advisors and create their account at no cost where they can invest in pesos or dollars. The contributions are made by transfer directly to the bank account of the trust. This is administered by a recognized public trustee registered with the National Securities Commission (CNV).
