ProtonMail's Yen also suggests the usability of strongly encrypted email tech is nearing a tipping point, arguing that privacy-protecting email alternatives are approaching feature parity with mainstream webmail services such as Gmail and Yahoo — which of course do not offer any privacy for users' comms, given the companies monetize the 'free' services via user data and targeted advertising.

While the company started by offering a more general comms app, launched in late 2014 and backed by Skype co-founder Janus Friis, in recent years it's shifted emphasis to focus on privacy — rolling out end-to-end encryption in March last year — perhaps calculating this makes for a better differentiator in the crowded messaging platform space.

The draft document sets out requirements for communications services providers to maintain a capability to be in a position to hand over de-encrypted data in "near real time" when served a warrant by a government agency, and to have the capability to intercept simultaneously comms and metadata for up to 1 in 20163,000 of their customers.

Activists and business leaders who've been meeting with Gary Cohn, Steven Mnuchin, Marc Short & Paul Teller from legislative affairs, and Sean Spicer (who's leading the comms strategy), all tell us the same thing: They're surprised about how much planning and organizing the White House has already done, given its ham-handed approach to the health care rollout.

The Ofcom report also charts a particular rise in the use of instant messaging in the UK, which is likely to be contributing to the feeling of being overwhelmed by time-sapping tech, given the ceaseless demands of open-ended real-time messaging chats which — unlike other comms technologies — don't have clear or natural cut-off points.

Last month its new global comms guy — former European politician and one time UK deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg — also announced that, from next month, it will have human-staffed operations centers up and running to monitor how localised political news gets distributed on its platform, with one of the centers located within the EU, in Dublin, Ireland.

In the last 24 hours, I've been contacted by the BBC, WSJ, and WaPo to comment on We. But before any press outlet contacted me, I heard from a senior comms person at We, after I mentioned on Pivot in January that WeWork will be in the news a lot in 2019, for all the wrong reasons.

In July 17, we published a video showing two F-117s flying together, filmed from the distant hills east of Tonopah Test Range: In examining the photos some readers noticed that when the two F-117's were lined up on the runway, only one of them had what looked like a comms antenna extended on the dorsal spine.

The head of policy and comms, Elliot Schrage, announced he was leaving last year and was replaced by Nick Clegg, who was deputy prime minister of the UK. Schrage is still in the building at Facebook, however, working on "special projects," including working with local Bay Area officials as Facebook expands its massive Menlo Park headquarters.

At the time, Recode reported on growing turbulence between her and then CEO Travis Kalanick, who was later ousted: Sources close to the car-hailing company said that the decision to leave was multi-faceted, including Whetstone's lack of appetite for even more drama after running comms at Google for many years before her stint at Uber.

Today the UK High Court agreed with several aspects of digital and civil rights group Liberty's crowdfunded legal challenge to a portion of the UK's 2016 Investigatory Powers Act that gives the state the power to mandate that communications companies and service providers collect and retain web activity logs, comms metadata and location information on all their users for a full 12 months.

We don't know much about this elongated Humvee, but The War Zone suggests that the vehicles were likely first adopted as part of the Army's Mounted Battle Command On The Move (MBCOTM) network program that, first initiated in 2002, was intended to integrate a plethora of comms systems into various ground vehicles so they could function as mobile tactical operations centers.

He presumably has an opinion on how Comms can operate more effectively) -meet with heads of the various networks and leading journalists (like Maggie Haberman) to build a better relationship and solicit their input on how we can better work together -meet with Directors of Communications from prior administrations (no need to re-invent the wheel on certain matters, particularly basic blocking and tackling stuff) -meet with Ryan Lizza (not to litigate the past—to reset for moving forward) -meet with leading Republicans who, whether for or against POTUS, have valuable insights to impart Newt Gingrich and Karl Rove are at the top of this list -meet with Speaker Ryan, Leader McConnell and their respective Comms teams Outside Your Bubble is a BuzzFeed News effort to bring you a diversity of thought and opinion from around the internet.

But developments in the enterprise communications market — which has shifted to include things like BYO, mobile-first solutions; apps in the cloud; and massively integrated IT/comms stacks where companies are simplifying all products in single platforms (and sometimes single vendors like Microsoft), or are using upstart (and less expensive) services like Slack for all interactions, voice and text — have all served to disrupt Mitel's business.
|

All of which explains why Facebook got out ahead of the Commission's publication of the reports by putting its fresh-in-post European politician turned head of global comms, Nick Clegg, on a podium in Brussels yesterday — in an attempt to control the PR message about what it's doing (or rather not doing, as the EC sees it) to boot fake activity into touch.

Though it remains to be seen how much demand there is from visual creatives to do more of their "communicating spatially", as the team puts it, vs using a series of digital tools at different points of their creative workflow process — be it Slack for comms, Dropbox for hosting (and sharing) files, Pinterest for making and sharing moodboards, Google Docs for collaborating and so on.

And it's this amazing thing, kind of like best of both worlds scenario where we get to be a startup, but we can raise our hands and ask for support in all the ways we need that aren't our core competencies, whether it's leveraging the amazing comms team where we can reach out to the amazing relationships that Twitter already has with folks like you.

Ofcom found that the proportion of U.K. adults using services such as Facebook Messenger and the Facebook-owned WhatsApp messaging app at least once per week rose from under a third (28 per cent) back in 2014 to approaching a majority (43 per cent) in 2016 — which it flags as the biggest increase across all comms and media activities it charts in the report.

China's tech scene is losing one of its most recognizable and influential faces after Baidu head of comms Kaiser Kuo announced he is leaving the company to return to the U.S. New York native Kuo has spent more than 20 years in China and has presided over international communications at Baidu, one of the country's largest Internet companies and its top search firm, for the past six.

Yet another potential use-case for 3D body model tech could be in the comms space where Amazon has recently been making a new play, including in the visual communications space — as part of a much bigger push to own the smart home by releasing a blitz of connected devices housing its Alexa voice AI. This May Amazon outted an Echo device with a screen aimed at family videocalling.

Colorful because while Facebook itself might not sell user data — it just rents access to your data and thereby sells your attention — the company has built a platform that others have repurposed as a marketplace for exactly that, and done so right under its nose… The SEC complaint also reveals that more than 30 Facebook employees across different corporate groups learned of Kogan's platform policy violations — including senior managers in its comms, legal, ops, policy and privacy divisions.

One line that's been thrown around internally is that this is just normal campaign opposition research, the kind that gets thrown around in a dirty hard campaign, especially one against the Clintons (Don Jr. has already used this line.) It's unclear, though, whether the White House or the legal team surrounding it — which has followed a Hannity-first comms strategy, ignoring mainstream media and preaching entirely to the base — have any good ideas to get out of this pickle.

The biggest question these tests might answer is whether or not Starship's driving drones can handle public exposure in the U.S. I spoke to Starship comms manager Henry Harris-Burland when they began their European trials and he told me that in their 5,000 miles of more limited testing prior to that launch, they hadn't encountered any incidents of abuse, but real-world use at scale will probably provide very different results, especially once the bots start operating without human chaperones.

Speaking with French language radio show La Terrasse ÉNERGIE (via IGN), Nintendo of Canada comms person Julie Gagnon told listeners that the console will provide players with permanent save points, like more sophisticated games from the SNES and later era, as well as a temporary, instant save feature that lets you quickly capture and restore your game state so you can go to the bathroom, feed your child or bathe yourself without leaving the console running as in days of old.

To spend three to five days in a hedonistic vacuum away from the confines of society where you are duty bound to make the same, arduous journey to work every day, each turn bringing with it a new detail—like how someone will get out of their seat a full 45 seconds before their stop and make you move from your standing position to wobbly accommodate them when they could've just WAITED, GOD—that will get on your nerves and drive you inch by inch towards quitting your job in comms and moving to Lisbon?

You have to hope lawmakers are at least collectively not so stupid as to end up passing laws that attempt to outlaw math — even if individual politicians persist in the fantastical belief that the general public's security can be enhanced by weakening, er, the general public's security… Over in the U.K., draft legislation currently before parliament, aiming to expand intelligence and law enforcement agencies' surveillance capabilities, contains some weasel words on encryption — with a clause that comms providers should be able to "remove electronic protection" and provide legible user data in response to a lawful intercept warrant.

Amendments to the draft legislation she specifically flagged up include a shorter period of time before urgent warrants that have been authorized solely by the Home Secretary must be retroactively reviewed by a judicial commissioner; the adding in of "statutory safeguards" to prevent domestic security agencies asking overseas partners to intercept comms where they do not have a warrant; and a degree of clarification on the bill's encryption fudge — "to put beyond doubt that companies can only be asked to remove encryption that they themselves have applied (or has been applied on their behalf by a third party), and that they will not be asked to remove encryption where it is not practicable for them to do so".
