Chapter 342 Genuine 3Q War

This problem can be said to be bad. One must know that the problem of racial discrimination is related to the issue of political correctness in the United States.

Now that a black president who advocates ethnic tolerance and equality is in power, Zuckerberg should naturally deny that Facebook does not have racial discrimination.

However, this congresswoman will certainly not ask such a question casually, she should have some black material about Facebook racial discrimination, so she dare to ask!

Therefore, Zuckerberg had to answer carefully:

"Your Excellency, as far as I know, there is no racial discrimination in our Facebook. Facebook management and I are also working hard to protect the equal and legal rights of employees of all races!"

The congresswoman looked at him and smiled kindly, and said:

"I believe you should be equal in the employee system, but I am not talking about your employees, but,"

The female congressman paused, took a look at the information at hand and said: "According to the information I have, when you put so-called precision marketing ads, you will allow advertisers to screen ads based on race. Excuse me, is it true?"

At this time, Zuckerberg understood a little bit about the problem of the congressman, advertising!

According to the Civil Rights Act of the United States, any advertisement must not be discriminated against race. At this point, I don’t know how many large companies have been accused by public opinion and punished by law, and it is different from social issues such as Facebook data leakage. Racial discrimination is directly related to political issues in the United States. If this problem becomes bigger, it will be another big problem no less than this data breach!

Zuckerberg thought for a few seconds before he believed that he was not responsible for the specific advertising operations and placement work, and was temporarily unable to answer the question that avoided the congresswoman.

The congresswoman smiled at her and nodded, expressing permission for him not to answer this question. However, everyone present felt that Zuckerberg was better than not saying anything at this time. Otherwise, the hearing After the meeting, Facebook may still face an unprecedented storm of public opinion and the issue of racial discrimination, but the American media and the public opinion community have to pull out big problems every once in a while!

Sure enough, after the hearing, the headlines of top newspapers in the United States and the world all added relevant content of the hearing.

"Zuckerberg attended the congressional hearing and once again apologized to the public for the data leakage issue and admitted that Facebook had management negligence!"

"Facebook said it will compensate all users for the loss of data theft. Experts estimate that Facebook will face compensation of more than one billion U.S. dollars!"

"Facebook is really a free product? No, you are wrong! Advertisers paid for you!"

"It broke the news that there is serious racial discrimination in the Facebook advertising mechanism, and advertisers can choose to advertise according to race!

"Facebook black advertisers accuse Facebook of discriminating against blacks and Asian-African races. When advertising, advertisers can choose whether to place them according to the user's race!"

"Facebook's so-called precision advertising marketing is to distinguish which Facebook users are of which race?"

.......

The uproar of public opinion made Zuckerberg and the entire Facebook seem to be stuck in a new whirlpool, no matter how he and Facebook struggle, it is difficult to escape from it!

When the hearing was held, it was late at night in Yanjing, and Fang Zhe, the big boss, had no interest in watching the live video of Zuckerberg attending the hearing.

He understands that as soon as the battle started, the party he and myspace partnered with has already won. Facebook’s data security issues, even if they don’t dig it out now, they will be digged out by others in the future. Facebook has experienced it in the past. Multiple data security crises are the best proof.

It’s just that Fang Zhe didn’t expect that at the end of the congressional hearing, the female congresswoman would ask such a sharp question about racial discrimination, but she didn’t know whether the female congressman’s question was her own question or it was with myspace. What's the connection? Anyway, these things are not what I should worry about. From beginning to end, I and Huizhong are just outsiders sitting and watching the good show.

When the Facebook of the United States faced a series of problems about data security and racial discrimination, the domestic Internet industry also began to be turbulent.

The cause of the incident was that Tencent merged the previous QQ doctor and QQ software management into one in mid-June, and upgraded it to the brand new "QQ Computer Manager"!

Originally, the last time Huizhong joined forces with 360 to fight Tencent, Tencent, who was scrupulous about public opinion, postponed the upgrade of QQ doctor. Fang Zhe thought that the previous QQ computer butler, who was supposed to appear in May, did not appear on time, and this life should be delayed for a long time. It's time to appear in the future or even disappear!

Clinker, this time Facebook has a data security crisis. The QQ doctor operation team, in the name of protecting the privacy and security of QQ, still pushes QQ Computer Manager to the market!

The dragon has its scales, and you will get angry if you touch it. Although 360 is not a one-stop in the domestic Internet industry, it is definitely a one-stop in the domestic Internet security industry.

Originally, Mr. Zhou of 360 and Fang Zhe thought that Tencent would be concerned about how long the plagiarism of public opinion had not passed. It was unlikely that QQ computer butler would be launched in a short period of time. Clinker Tencent was thirsty for the big cake in the security field. "QQ Computer Manager" has also undergone "secondary" R&D by the R&D team and re-launched to the market.

This time, "QQ Computer Manager" is indeed very different from 360 Security Guard in terms of interface layout and other aspects, but in terms of functions, there are not many changes. After all, 360 is currently No. 1 in the domestic Internet security industry. The functions of the aspect can be touched by them for a long time!

The only dazzling feature of QQ Computer Manager this time is the so-called "QQ Security Environment Function" specially launched because of the foreign Facebook data crisis. Users who install QQ Computer Manager can protect QQ data and privacy on the computer. Don’t worry about your QQ data and privacy leaks!

However, although foreign Facebook is making a lot of noise due to data security issues, but because of the wall in China, ordinary netizens do not know what Facebook is at all, let alone follow its news. Therefore, this function of QQ Computer Manager , It can only be regarded as the icing on the cake!

It is precisely because of this icing on the cake that Zhou Zonghe 360’s counterattack was inspired. On July 2, 360 released a tool called "QQ Privacy Protector" and claimed that this tool can monitor QQ in real time. Every move of QQ prevents QQ from peeping and stealing users' personal privacy data and files without the user's consent!

When Fang Zhe heard the news, he couldn't help but lament the strong historical inertia. It seems that the contradiction between 360 and Tencent, if you don't fight for life and death, you will not let it go!

The genuine "3Q War" history seems to be staged again!
