Major Internet Security Bill Passes House

Security online has become one of the most pressing topics among many lawmakers. Due to the rapidly increasing number of attacks occurring online there is obviously plenty of reason to do anything and everything to protect the people, and today the House of Representatives made the first big step towards doing that.

The bill that officially passed the House still has plenty of additional revisions and work before it’ll become a law but the fact that is making progress is definitely great news for everyone. Because the bill will likely become a law sometime soon everyone will finally be able to feel safer and more protected online. It might take some time before things become a reality.

While the House has officially approved the bill, it is still unknown whether or not the Senate will approve it. Protecting online privacy and security will definitely be a final outcome of this bill regardless of what happens which is absolutely great news, but whether or not this will become the final law is yet to be seen.

Hopefully in the next 6 months the government will finally have some sort of online protection act, if they do it will bring all sorts of great news to all Americans and will likely bring safety to the entire internet in the form of reduced online attacks and maliciousness. The amazing news is that it will likely be soon and will most likely offer absolutely amazing protection.

Boeing Developing a New Android Phone

Android OS is available on thousands of different phones around the world. Ranging anywhere from the ultra cheap to the incredibly expensive they do in fact come in almost any shape or size. Fortunately now Boeing is going to step up and fill a void that nobody really knew about, the ultra secure smartphone world.

Boeing, the company known for defense products and aircraft, is now stepping up to create the most secure Android phone on the market. According to Boeing the phone should be available in the next 6 months, but don’t be surprised if you never see it on shelves. As with any secure device, it will only be available to certain companies or users and it will be very expensive. Boeing is however hoping to make this the most inexpensive phone in the secure world which shouldn’t be too difficult since current options cost around $10,000.

The good news is that this will in fact bring security to the smartphone world. Security has been lacking for quite some time and if this development works as planned the technology will eventually trickle down to consumer grade phones. Security has been lacking in Android phones for quite some time so this is a much needed improvement for many users. It is unclear when or where this technology will be implemented for average users but the fact that it is becoming a very real possibility is absolutely amazing news.

Mobile Privacy Increases Coming Soon

Technology has been both a blessing and a problem for a number of years now. As technology became more and more important to everyone’s lives it also became somewhat of a privacy concern and over the past few months it has become increasingly clear just how much of a privacy concern mobile technology poses. The good news is that privacy online and mobile privacy are both soon to become hot items politically so we should see some improvement in a number of areas.

Various states and cities around the United States have already begun pushing for increased privacy regulations which would protect users and as more and more areas begin to push for these rules the movement will simply gain momentum. This is great news because it means the era of advertisers and search engines selling user data will likely be coming to an end. Cell phones currently collect thousands of pieces of information daily and through a variety of sources this information is used by advertisers, under newly proposed privacy laws this would be banned and legally impossible. Obviously the procedures needed to actually enforce this type of law are somewhat complicated and very difficult but if any sort of significant privacy law such as this begins to spread we will likely begin to see a nationwide movement towards increased privacy in nearly every sector of the technology market and that is truly good news for anyone and everyone connected to the internet.

Facebook Agrees to FTC Privacy Ruling

For the past few months Facebook has been under investigation by the FTC regarding a variety of security and privacy concerns which have brought thousands of complaints. Today the case officially came to an end as Facebook agreed to the rules laid out by the FTC in the latest ruling.

Under Facebook’s new agreement there will be consistent privacy audits and more important, users will finally have control of what information is released to whom. This is great news for everyone online as it will more than likely set the long standing precedent regarding user rights and privacy online. No longer will Facebook be allowed to do whatever they please with user data as now users will actually be able to regulate what is private and what is not.

Thousands of Facebook users worldwide have cheered at the result of the FTC ruling because it is the first time that Facebook has finally been forced into following some privacy restrictions. The news has spread fast around the social network and overall the results are very positive as everyone is happy to finally hear that Facebook is going to put an end to Facebook’s less than desirable user privacy rules. No word on when exactly any major changes are coming but for now the millions of Facebook users rejoice for they have finally regained control of their own private data online.

Facebook Announces Much Needed Security Revisions

Facebook and user privacy have become separate ideas in the last few years as Facebook grows ever larger and security grows ever less useful. Fortunately today millions of Facebook users got the good news that some new security and privacy controls are finally being given to Facebook users. Thousands of Facebook users rejoiced publicly on Facebook today after the good news broke.

The Facebook security features announced today are not as restrictive as some people would have hoped but nearly everyone is happy to have gained at least a little control. The controls will finally give users control over who sees what which should help make it significantly easier for users to cut down on privacy loss. Analysts around the world agree that it was about time for Facebook to roll out some new privacy features and that is exactly what they are finally beginning to do.

The great news about a new security feature broke, as expected, on Facebook’s official blog. This announcement is welcome news for all Facebook users and not only are Facebook users getting more control over what is distributed; they are also getting easier control. The announced security controls are expected to be significantly easier to use than the current system which means users will in fact be able to actually control what they want to be available. At this time Facebook is rolling out the security features but not everyone will have access to them quite yet so be patient.
