Google wins landmark right to be forgotten case

The EU's top court has ruled that Google does not have to apply the right to be forgotten globally.

It means the firm only needs to remove links from its search results in Europe and not elsewhere after receiving an appropriate request.

The ruling stems from a dispute between Google and  French privacy regulator.

In 2015, CNIL ordered the firm to globally remove search result listings to pages containing damaging or false information about a person.

The following year, Google introduced  a geoblocking feature that prevents European users from being able to see delisted links.

India locates lander lost on final approach to moon

NEW DELHI: The lander module from India's moon mission was located on the lunar surface on Sunday, one day after it lost contact with the space station, and efforts are underway to try to establish contact with it, the head of the nations's space agency said.

The Press Trust of India news agency cited Indian Space and Research Organization chairman K Sivan as saying cameras from the moon mission's orbiter had located the lander. "It must have been a hard landing," PTI quoted Sivan as saying. ISRO offficials could not be reached for comment.

The space agency said it lost touch with the Vikram lunar lander on Saturday as it made its approach to the moon's south pole to deploy a rover to search for signs of water.

A successful landing would have made India just the third to operate a robotic rover there.

The space agency said Saturday that the lander's descent was normal until 2 kilometres ( 1.2 miles) from the lunar surface.

The roughly $140 million mission, known as Chandrayaan-2, was intended to study permanently shadowed moon crates that are thought to contain water deposits that were confirmed by the Chandrayaan-1 mission in 2008.

India's Second Moon Mission accomplishes 90-95 pct of its objectives: ISRO

 India's Second Moon Mission

New Delhi, Sept. 7 -- India's second Mission "Chandrayaan-2 " which had lost communication with the ground stations in the wee hours of Saturday at an altitude of 2.1 km from the Lunar surface, had accomplished 90-95 percent of its objectives , said the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).

Minutes after the mission lost communication at around 0155 ( Indian Standard Time), ISRO stated" Vikram Lander descent was as planned and normal performance was observed up to an altitude of 2.1 km. Subsequently communication from the Lander to the ground stations was lost. Data is being analyzed."

In a statement , the ISRO said that the mission would continue to contribute to lunar science as the Orbiter had already been placed in its intended orbit around the Moon, and the Orbiter camera was the highest the highest resolution camera (0.3m) in any Lunar mission so far.

"The success criteria was defined fro each and every phase of mission and till date 90 to 95 percent of the mission objectives have been accomplished and will continue contribute to Lunar science, notwithstanding the loss of communication with the Lander," said ISRO in its first statement after the mission suffered a huge setback.

Facebook brings face recognition to all users, discontinues 'Tag Suggestions'

Facebook brings

Facebook Inc is openig up its face recognition technology to all users with an option to opt out, the social media company said on Tuesday, as it discontinued a related feature called “Tag Suggestions.”

The old feature enabled users to choose whether Facebook could suggest that their friends tag them in photos, without giving them control over other uses of the technology.

The face recognition setting, available to some Facebook users since December 2017, has additional functions such as notifying account holders if their profile photo is used by someone else.

People who opt in to the new setting will still have tag suggestions automatically generated about them.

Facebook’s face recognition technology has been at the center of a privacy related lawsuit since 2015.

The lawsuit by Illinois users accused the company of violating the state’s Biometric Information Privacy Act, claiming it illegally collected and stored biometric data of millions of users without their consent.

Last month, a federal appeals court rejected Facebook’s effort to undo the class action status of the lawsuit.

“We have always disclosed our use of face recognition technology and that people can turn it on or off at any time,” Facebook said last month.

The company said it continues to engage with privacy experts, academics, regulators and its users on face recognition and its control options.
