Google Play has new rules for child apps

THE DAILY CRUNCH
THURSDAY, MAY 30 2019 By Anthony Ha

Google rolls out stricter policies for kids' apps, tech giants criticize a U.K. surveillance proposal and we climb aboard Disneyland's Millennium Falcon ride. Here's your Daily Crunch for May 30, 2019.

1. Following FTC complaint, Google rolls out new policies around kids' apps on Google Play

For starters, developers are being asked to consider whether children are a part of their target audience — and, if they're not, developers must ensure their app doesn't unintentionally appeal to them.

The changes were likely inspired by an FTC complaint filed in December, in which a coalition of 22 consumer and public health advocacy groups asked for an investigation of kids' apps on Google Play.

2. Apple, Google, Microsoft, WhatsApp sign open letter condemning GCHQ proposal to listen in on encrypted chats

An international coalition of civic society organizations, security and policy experts and tech companies has penned a critical slap-down to a surveillance proposal made last year by the U.K.'s intelligence agency, warning it would undermine trust and security and threaten fundamental rights.

5. FCC's broadband deployment report called 'fundamentally at odds with reality'

6. Enterprise cybersecurity startup BlueVoyant raises $82.5M at a $430M+ valuation

Since launching its services in 2018, BlueVoyant has picked up 150 customers in industries like financial services, manufacturing, municipal government and education.
