【今日イチNEWS】Facebook危機！！ トランプ データ不正利用で当選か？
今日の【今日イチNEWS】も世界中で話題が持ち切りのFacebookのデータ不正利用事件。
コンサル会社によってトランプの当選の為にFacebookデータが使われていたとされる事件ですが、Facebookは今のところ、「米国の投票者の行動に影響を与えられるツール」の開発に使う為に提供したといっていて、データは消すように連絡はしたと説明してます。
この事件FacebookのCEOマークザッカーバーグ氏はまだコメントは控えており、
もし「知ってて提供した」など説明したら、トランプ選は事件となり、マーク氏自身も事件に関与したこと、5000万人と言われるデータを流出させたことで政治、経済ともにビックニュースとなります。
その時は激しい円高が見込まれるはずです。
また、議会はツイッターやグーグルにも質問しておりこの波紋は広がっています。
【情報セキュリティ】
・EU：NIS（Network and Information Security）指令
これは、EUの国々に対してセキュリティの問題発生の対応チームを地域で設ける体制で、意図するとこは「リスクに関係する情報を交換すること」。
エネルギー、交通、金融、健康、デジタルインフラといった、ヨーロッパの経済と社会にとって重要な部門のセキュリティ文化を発展させること。
・アメリカ：2015年サイバーセキュリティ法
これはサイバー攻撃確実に国を守ることを目的とし、民間と政府との間でコンピューターの脅威について情報を交換する為の法律。
この法では、あるシステム上で見つかった脅威についての情報は、攻撃を防ぐことやほかの企業や機関、ユーザーに影響を与えかねないリスクを軽減することを目的として、おそらく共有されることになる。情報収集やセキュリティ・チェックその他の防御手段の活用を通じて、企業・組織と政府は諜報活動と防衛活動の調整をすることができるのである。
・中国：サイバーセキュリティ法
これは社会主義の中国らしく強引な法律で、要は政府はいかなる情報も扱える事になる法律。つまり中国内の情報は全部政府に筒抜けになるし、拒否すると逮捕されてしまうことになります。
去年これができたとき中国でビジネスを行う企業では世界的に問題となりました。
だって、情報が勝手に中国政府にいくのだから、、、
・日本：サイバーセキュリティ基本法
これは16年に改正されて、今後も改正されていくんでしょうが、今のところ「セキュリティを強化しましょう」そして、「サイバー攻撃に備えましょう」といっているだけです。
こういった感じで、インターネット社会の中で毎日自分の事が情報に変えられていく世の中で、自分の情報にはプライバシーはなくなってきてます、特に中国。
企業はこれまでのように情報の提供をはばからうと法に触れだすようになりました。
Facebookも安易な情報提供は行わない会社なので、本当に得票率向上などの為に使われるものと思い提供したのでは？と思われます。。

Facebook Inc. is struggling to respond to growing demands from Washington to explain how the personal data of millions of its users could be exploited by a consulting firm that helped Donald Trump win the presidency.
The uproar over Cambridge Analytica, which has put Facebook under scrutiny by the main U.S. privacy regulator and state attorneys general, has sparked new, bipartisan demands from lawmakers in both chambers of Congress. They want Facebook co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg, who has yet to address the episode publicly, to address how his company has once again allowed its network to be abused for political ends.

Even before the latest revelations, senators had been calling for social media CEOs to testify about their efforts to tackle ongoing meddling on their platforms by Russia, as well as attempts to inflame social debates in the U.S. on issues like gun control. Now, it’s almost certain that some of these CEOs will be summoned for congressional hearings.
Facebook, which saw its stock value plummet by $60 billion since the revelations emerged, sparking an investor lawsuit, is sending lower-level executives to brief several congressional panels on Wednesday. That’s unlikely to satisfy lawmakers who are calling for the inquiries to extend to other companies including Twitter Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google.
"There are a lot of forces converging at this moment," said Marc Rotenberg, president of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. "Obviously Cambridge Analytica is a hot button for many people in Washington, and stories that are associated with that company have raised more and more questions."
Cambridge Analytica
The furor started over revelations that Cambridge Analytica had siphoned data from some 50 million Facebook users as it built a election-consulting company that boasted it could sway voters in contests all over the world. While 270,000 users had authorized an academic to use their data for research purposes, according to reports, the researcher allegedly violated privacy rules when he handed the data off to Cambridge Analytica. The firm, which Tuesday suspended its chief executive, Alexander Nix, consulted for Trump’s campaign.
The scandal was fanned by Nix’s comments in an undercover video by London’s Channel 4 News. Nix told the reporters, who posed as potential clients, that the firm’s services included the potential to try to induce targets with bribes, entrapment by prostitutes and spreading disinformation. Cambridge Analytica has said the Facebook data at the center of the uproar wasn’t used as part of services provided to the Trump campaign.
Among the questions that Facebook will likely be asked in Washington are when it became aware that Cambridge Analytica had obtained the data and why users were not notified.

Parscale TweetsOn Tuesday, Brad Parscale, who ran the 2016 Trump campaign’s digital operations and hired Cambridge Analytica as a consultant, tweeted that unnamed people were taking credit for Trump’s victory.
"So incredibly false and ridiculous," he wrote. "Let them say that under oath. Just an overblown sales pitch." Parscale has since been named the manager of Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign.
Scrutiny of the issue is coming from the Federal Trade Commission and the attorney generals of New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The FTC is investigating whether Facebook violated terms of a 2011 consent decree with its handling of the data that was transferred to Cambridge Analytica, according to two people familiar with the matter.
FTC Settlement
The FTC, which has a consumer protection mandate, reached that agreement in response to a complaint by EPIC’s Rotenberg. If the trade commission finds Facebook violated terms of the consent decree, it has the power to fine the company more than $40,000 a day per violation, which could open the door to millions of dollars in fines.
An FTC spokeswoman wouldn’t comment on whether the agency was investigating but said that it takes "any allegations of violations of our consent decrees very seriously." The people who described the FTC’s moves asked not to be identified because the details aren’t public.
Facebook has said it rejects "any suggestion of violation of the consent decree."
Without a national privacy law, it falls to attorneys general to enforce state data privacy statutes. New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced on Tuesday that he and Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey had sent a demand letter to Facebook as part of a joint probe stemming from the fallout. Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen announced his own inquiry on Monday.
European Regulators
Facebook’s mounting troubles don’t end in the U.S. European regulators, concerned with how they can "allow the data on European consumers to flow to this company" could also take action, said Rotenberg.
The chairman of a UK parliamentary committee announced Tuesday he was requesting that Zuckerberg appear before the panel to supplement previous testimony by the company’s executives.
Stricter European privacy rules kick in on May 25 under the General Data Protection Regulation. European Union Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova said she plans to discuss the matter with Facebook during a visit in the U.S. this week. Italian telecommunications regulator Agcom also asked Facebook to provide information on its data use.
Australia has also opened an investigation into the matter, according to that country’s Information and Privacy commissioner, Timothy Pilgrim.
Congressional Briefings
In Washington, Facebook said it would conduct staff-level briefings of six congressional committees Wednesday, including the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, as well as the commerce and intelligence committees of both chambers. A key question will be their appetite for a public appearance by the company’s leadership, especially Zuckerberg. The Facebook officials set to handle the briefings include the company’s deputy general counsel and deputy chief privacy officer, said a congressional official.
Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he wants to hear testimony from Zuckerberg, while Senator Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican and the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, said any decision about calling Zuckerberg to appear before the panel is further off.
Senators Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, and John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican, repeated their bipartisan call Monday for testimony by the CEOs of Facebook, Twitter and Alphabet before the Judiciary Committee.
The growing issues surrounding big social media companies "aren’t going away," Kennedy told Bloomberg TV Tuesday. "Mr. Zuckerberg and the other CEOs need to come," he added. "Some of Facebook’s behavior has kind of gotten creepy."
Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine, who also serves on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday that she has "grown increasingly concerned as we’re learning more and more about the manipulation of data, the harvesting of data from Facebook, the ads that were placed to sow the seeds of discord in this country."
White House spokesman Raj Shah demurred on Tuesday when asked if Zuckerberg should testify, but he said Trump supports investigations by Congress or the FTC into the incident.
