Each week, we review [the weekâs news](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRet_svP0RMaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vc2VjdGlvbi90ZWNobm9sb2d5P3RlPTEmbmw9Yml0cyZlbWM9ZWRpdF90dV8yMDE5MDUxMFcDbnl0QgoAIS921Vx-XDNrUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), offering analysis about the most important developments in the tech industry.
Hi, Iâm Jamie Condliffe. Greetings from London. Hereâs a look at the weekâs tech news:
Stop me if youâve heard this before: The chief executive of a huge tech company with vast stores of user data, and a business built on using it to target ads, now says his priority is privacy.
This time it was Googleâs Sundar Pichai, at the companyâs annual conference for developers. âWe think privacy is for everyone,â he explained on Tuesday. âWe want to do more to stay ahead of constantly evolving user expectations.â He reiterated the point in [a New York Times Op-Ed](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRet_svP0TCaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNS8wNy9vcGluaW9uL2dvb2dsZS1zdW5kYXItcGljaGFpLXByaXZhY3kuaHRtbD9hY3Rpb249Y2xpY2smZW1jPWVkaXRfZGtfMjAxOTA1MDgmbW9kdWxlPU9waW5pb24mbmw9ZGVhbGJvb2smbmxpZD03OTYyOTE2MWVtYyUzRGVkaXRfZGtfMjAxOTA1MDgmcGd0eXBlPUhvbWVwYWdlJnRlPTFXA255dEIKACEvdtVcflwza1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), and highlighted the need for federal privacy rules.
The previous week, Mark Zuckerberg delivered similar messages at Facebookâs developer conference. âThe future is private,â he said, and Facebook will focus on more intimate communications. He shared the idea in a [Washington Post op-ed](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRet_svP0TFaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2FzaGluZ3RvbnBvc3QuY29tL29waW5pb25zL21hcmstenVja2VyYmVyZy10aGUtaW50ZXJuZXQtbmVlZHMtbmV3LXJ1bGVzLWxldHMtc3RhcnQtaW4tdGhlc2UtZm91ci1hcmVhcy8yMDE5LzAzLzI5LzllNmYwNTA0LTUyMWEtMTFlOS1hM2Y3LTc4Yjc1MjVhOGQ1Zl9zdG9yeS5odG1sP3V0bV90ZXJtPS5kMzBiY2M1YTM1MzFXA255dEIKACEvdtVcflwza1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) just weeks before, also highlighting the need for federal privacy rules.
Google went further than Facebookâs [rough sketch of what this future looks](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRet_svP0SQaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNC8zMC90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2ZhY2Vib29rLXByaXZhdGUtY29tbXVuaWNhdGlvbi1ncm91cHMuaHRtbD9lbWM9ZWRpdF90dV8yMDE5MDUwMyZubD1iaXRzJm5saWQ9Nzk2MjkxNjEyMDE5MDUwMyZ0ZT0xVwNueXRCCgAhL3bVXH5cM2tSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), and [unveiled tangible features](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRet_svP0RpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNS8wNy90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2dvb2dsZS1wcml2YWN5LXRvb2xzLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1iaXRzJmVtYz1lZGl0X3R1XzIwMTkwNTEwVwNueXRCCgAhL3bVXH5cM2tSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~): It will let users browse YouTube and Google Maps in âincognito mode,â will allow auto-deletion of Google history after a specified time and will make it easier to find out what the company knows about you, among other new privacy features.
Fatemeh Khatibloo, a vice president and principal analyst at Forrester, told The Times: âThese are meaningful changes when it comes to the userâs expectations of privacy, but I donât think this affects their business at all.â Google has to show that privacy is important, but it will still collect data.
What Google and Facebook are trying to do, though, is reshape the privacy narrative. You may think privacy means keeping hold of your data; they want privacy to mean they donât hand data to others. (âGoogle will never sell any personal information to third parties,â Mr. Pichai wrote in his Op-Ed.)
Werner Goertz, a research director at Gartner, said Google had to respond with its own narrative. âIt is trying to turn the conversation around and drive public discourse in a way that not only pacifies but also tries to get buy-in from consumers, to align them with its privacy strategy,â he said.
Politics of privacy law
Facebook and Google may share a voice on privacy. Lawmakers donât.
Members of the Federal Trade Commission renewed calls at a congressional hearing on Wednesday to regulate big tech companiesâ stewardship of user data, [my colleague Cecilia Kang reported](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRet_svP0RnaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNS8wOC9idXNpbmVzcy9mdGMtaGVhcmluZy1mYWNlYm9vay5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9Yml0cyZlbWM9ZWRpdF90dV8yMDE5MDUxMFcDbnl0QgoAIS921Vx-XDNrUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). That was before a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee, on which âlawmakers of both parties agreedâ that such a law was required, [The Wall Street Journal reported](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRet_svP0RhaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud3NqLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9sYXdtYWtlcnMtZGlmZmVyLW9uLXJlbWVkaWVzLWZvci1mYWNlYm9vay1wcml2YWN5LWJyZWFjaC0xMTU1NzM0MzM5N1cDbnl0QgoAIS921Vx-XDNrUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).
Sounds promising.
But while the F.T.C. was united in asking for more power to police violations and greater authority to impose penalties, there were large internal tensions about how far it should be able to go in punishing companies. And the lawmakers in Congress âappeared divided over key points that legislation might address,â according to The Journal. Democrats favor harsh penalties and want to give the F.T.C. greater power; Republicans worry that strict regulation could stifle innovation and hurt smaller companies.
Finding compromise will be difficult, and conflicting views risk becoming noise through which a clear voice from Facebook and Google can cut. The longer disagreement rages, the more likely it is that Silicon Valley defines a mainstream view that could shape rules.
Itâs Uber I.P.O. day!
The most hotly anticipated initial public offering of 2019 will see Uber trade on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday.
The company hits the markets valued at about $82.4 billion, after pricing its shares at $45 a share. Thatâs below the $100 billion that Uber had forecast to some investors, and far below the $120 billion that some bankers suggested. (It is, however, above the $76 billion that an August fund-raising round pegged it at.)
Uberâs is one of the largest I.P.O.s ever, but its sliding valuation suggests that this darling disrupter has lost some of its charm. That could spell trouble for other unicorns, like Slack and WeWork, that are expected to make I.P.O.s this year.
Uberâs concern now: avoiding the fate of its rival, Lyft, which fared poorly after its I.P.O. in March. Its shares quickly fell below its offering price, and were 26 percent below its offering price on Wednesday.
[Bonus:Â [How todayâs tech I.P.O.s differ from the dot-com boomâs.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRet_svP0R2aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAxOS8wNS8wOS9idXNpbmVzcy9kZWFsYm9vay90ZWNoLWlwb3MtdWJlci5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9Yml0cyZlbWM9ZWRpdF90dV8yMDE5MDUxMFcDbnl0QgoAIS921Vx-XDNrUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~)]
Antitrust in the App Store
Hereâs a story: Company makes smartphone. Company encourages third parties to build services for smartphone, to encourage adoption. Smartphone sells. Third parties prosper. Smartphone sales plateau. Company decides to build services.
Weâre living the next chapter, and itâs messy.
In March, [Spotify filed a complaint](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRet_svP0RqaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wMy8xMy9idXNpbmVzcy9zcG90aWZ5LWFwcGxlLWNvbXBsYWludC5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9Yml0cyZlbWM9ZWRpdF90dV8yMDE5MDUxMFcDbnl0QgoAIS921Vx-XDNrUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) with European regulators, accusing Apple of using its App Store to squash rivals of its own services, like Apple Music. A focus: the 30 percent fee that Spotify and others pay for using the Appleâs payment system for subscriptions sold via the App Store. (Other app makers [have made antitrust complaints about the App Store](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRet_svP0R9aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNC8yNy90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2FwcGxlLXNjcmVlbi10aW1lLXRyYWNrZXJzLmh0bWw_bW9kdWxlPWlubGluZSZ0ZT0xJm5sPWJpdHMmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHVfMjAxOTA1MTBXA255dEIKACEvdtVcflwza1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), too.)
Unidentified sources [told The Financial Times](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRet_svP0Q_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZnQuY29tL2NvbnRlbnQvMWNjMTYwMjYtNmRhNy0xMWU5LTgwYzctNjBlZTUzZTY2ODFkVwNueXRCCgAhL3bVXH5cM2tSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) that the European Unionâs competition commission would open an investigation into Spotifyâs complaint. That would result in a lengthy process that could result in Appleâs being fined as much as 10 percent of its global turnover, or forced to change its behavior.
If Apple is found at fault, the correct response is unclear. Pablo Ibáñez Colomo, a professor at the London School of Economics who specializes in competition law, said regulators would struggle to know how far to go. Acting strictly may require the App Store to be micromanaged â but who polices that? If a response doesnât go that far, what happens about the inevitable flood of complainants wanting their own justice?
A can of worms is set to explode, though it comes with a long fuse.
