Alphabet's Google said on Wednesday it disabled an iPhone app that it had paid some users to install to study their digital habits, following a similar move late on Tuesday by social media network Facebook
Google and Facebook had faced criticism from privacy experts for distributing their research apps through a programme iPhone maker Apple had created for companies to distribute apps to employees
"The Screenwise Meter iOS app should not have operated under Apple's developer enterprise programme — this was a mistake, and we apologise
We have disabled this app on iOS devices. This app is completely voluntary and always has been
We've been upfront with users about the way we use their data in this app, we have no access to encrypted data in apps and on devices, and users can opt out of the program at any time," Google said in a statement
In contrast to the Facebook Research app, Google said its Screenwise Meter app never asked users to let the company circumvent network encryption, meaning it is far less intrusive
The app is still available for "registered panelists" via the Google Play store.Facebook to Shutter Programme That Paid Users to Harvest Their Data Separately, Apple on Wednesday said Facebook can no longer distribute an app that paid users, including teenagers, to extensively track their phone and Web use
Facebook is still permitted to distribute apps through Apple's app store, though such apps are reviewed by Apple ahead of time
And Apple's move Wednesday restricts Facebook's ability to test those apps — including core apps such as Facebook and Instagram — before they are released through the app store
A report late Tuesday claimed that Facebook paid people about $20 (roughly Rs 1,400) a month to install and use the Facebook Research app
While Facebook says this was done with permission, the company has a history of defining "permission" loosely and obscuring what data it collects
"I don't think they make it very clear to users precisely what level of access they were granting when they gave permission," mobile app security researcher Will Strafach said Wednesday
"There is simply no way the users understood this." He said Facebook's claim that users understood the scope of data collection was "muddying the waters

so with less than 10 days to go until the big Summit North Korea and the US
are expected to really accelerate their preparations for the summit and with
signs of preparations evident here and there many people in Vietnam are excited
their country is playing host to such a historic event our eg1 reports from
Hanoi Hanoi the capital of Vietnam with a population of 7.7 million has been
announced as the host city of the second North Korea US summit by President
Donald Trump earlier this month the news was widely covered by Vietnamese
newspapers and televisions and many local citizens are eagerly anticipating
this historic event a lot of us are thrilled and proud to be hosting this
very important event it will be a good opportunity to promote our country to
the world I think the summit is being held here
because both countries have trust in US hosting the event will be great for our
country's economy and I hope we can contribute to the peacemaking process of
the region there could be some inconveniences during the summit period
but if the US and North Korea can develop their ties and make great
achievements we are more than welcome but there are also those who are
completely unaware of the news because they've been too busy going about their
daily lives it's my first time hearing such news I don't have much time to
watch television or read news meanwhile a number of key locations that could
play a role in the summit are quietly making preparations of their own JW
Marriott Hotel Hanoi where President Donald Trump is widely expected to stay
appears to be making itself ready for the arrival of a high-profile guest
there was a major cleanup of the surrounding gardens and holes have been
dug around the hotel possibly to plant more trees the North Korean embassy is
also undergoing minor renovations even on the weekend workers were painting the
walls of the building and cleaning the fences the bulletin board just outside
the embassy was also updated with the latest news out of
North Korea all of these changes may be in preparation for a possible visit by
North Korean leader Kim jong-un during the summit the security around the
premises wasn't as high as reported by other South Korean media outlets but
with less than two weeks left to go and the protocol teams of North Korea and
the u.s. working on the final arrangements more visible developments
are expected to occur within the next few days
