Did you know that Google has been eavesdropping on what users are saying?
In the face of the data leakage scandal, Mark Zuckerberg said in the hearing that Facebook did not eavesdrop on users’ speech through Mi Gaofeng, so as to target advertisers in a more accurate way.

As a…

In an age where everyone values digitalisation, why do NGOs tend to stagnate?
Nowadays, more and more businesses are aware of the importance of digitalisation, and understand that if they follow the old marketing strategy, whether they are in the market leader position or not, sooner or later, their profits will gradually shrink and even be eliminated from the market. However, many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have stagnated in digitalisation. Compared with the average commercial organisation, many NGOs have not yet developed a marketing mindset that keeps pace with the times and are skeptical about the effectiveness of online marketing and digitalisation. For example, they still maintain the old-fashioned offline publicity mentality, feeling that…
