What happened
A set of news items covering privacy, child safety, national security and U.S. cyber leadership: Texas sued five smart‑TV makers over allegedly undisclosed automatic content recognition (ACR) data collection and Samsung has updated its ACR privacy practices; Instagram will notify parents in several countries when minors repeatedly search for self‑harm or suicide content; EU lawmakers proposed banning under‑16s from social media without parental consent (and a blanket ban under age 13); a former U.S. Air Force officer was arrested for allegedly conspiring with a hacker to provide flight training to the Chinese military; and Senator Wyden blocked Gen. Rudd’s nomination to lead U.S. Cyber Command/NSA citing inadequate relevant background.
