Tesla's efforts are facing early tests as some states start rolling out the funds. But individual states can add their own requirements on top of CCS before distributing the federal funds at a local level. In June, Reuters reported that Texas - which will receive and deploy $407.8 million over five years - planned to mandate companies to include Tesla's plugs. That forced Texas to defer a vote on the plan twice as it sought to understand NACS and its implications, before the commission voted unanimously to approve the plan on Wednesday.

More marketers are taking notice of California’s data privacy laws after the state said last month that cosmetics retailer Sephora had agreed to pay $1.2 million in penalties for alleged violations related to its targeted advertising practices. Some companies that have received letters have complied or begun working toward compliance, while others remain under investigation, the spokesperson said. Many companies delayed compliance because they disagree with that definition and don’t want to tell consumers that they sell data, he said. The state’s determination that Sephora didn’t process global opt-out requests played a key role in the attorney general’s decision to take action. “People see a headline about Sephora and everyone thinks they sold data,” she said.

Procesul din spate sună cam așa: Go SMS Pro încarcă fiecare fișier media trimis pe internet și face aceste fișiere accesibile cu o adresă URL, conform unui raport al Trustwave, citează Playtech. Dacă destinatarul are și Go SMS Pro, conținutul apare direct în mesaj – dar aplicația încarcă oricum fișierul și creează în continuare acel link accesibil publicului pe internet. Pentru a putea viziona conținutul link-ului, nu este necesară autentificarea, ceea ce înseamnă că oricine îl are poate avea acces la conținutul său. Iar adresele URL generate de aplicație au o adresă secvențială și previzibilă, ceea ce înseamnă că oricine poate găsi alte fișiere doar schimbând părțile potrivite ale adresei URL. Așadar, dacă utilizezi Go SMS Pro și nu vrei ca întreg internetul să aibă acces la datele tale, poate ar fi mai bine să cauți o altă aplicație de mesagerie, mai sigură.
