Do tech giants such as Facebook monitor our lives?
Ever wondered why Facebook knows so much about user habits? Because in addition to tracking how users click on pages or ads on Facebook, the tech giant appears to be buying sensitive data from users, including their household income, the types of restaurants they frequent, and even how many credit cards they have in their wallets. According to a report by an independent news organization in the United States, since last year, Facebook has collected a large amount of confidential information about users, including “personal investable assets of $1-24,999” and “total household income between $100,000 and $125,000”. The report also…

Such crises are usually divided into three initial stages: first, the latent stage, which is only at the level of…

How does the latest cloud technology support innovative technologies?
As mentioned above, I attended Google’s cloud conference in London to learn more about its groundbreaking cloud technology developments. In the future, Google will vigorously develop virtual server technology and hope to occupy a larger cloud service market.

The era of barrier-free clothing, food, housing and transportation without cash when you go out may have come!

[Interactive New Thinking: Facebook Live]
There is more than one brand on social platforms, and to stand out from the crowd, in addition to brand copywriting and beautiful pictures, it is more important to speak to your target audience. It’s not about “what the brand wants to say”, it’s about what the “target audience” wants to hear. Today’s “netizens” seek authenticity and “sticking to the ground”, rather than resisting the same sales pitches. Brands need to think about how to use social media to communicate with their target audience. Among them, the author thinks that Facebook’s live broadcast feature launched this year is quite good….
