The redesign is part of a broader agreement designed to bring mobile apps into compliance with California's Online Privacy Protection Act, passed in 1994, which requires online service providers that collect personally identifiable information about users to post privacy policies in a conspicuous place. App developers have been under heightened scrutiny in recent weeks following the revelation that Path, a social networking app, collected and stored information from users' address books without asking permission. Subsequently, others, including Twitter, Foursquare and Instagram, acknowledged that they collected address book data as well. [...] the apps have issued updates to ask for permission before collecting that data.

Google aids accessibility with ChromeVox reader, better YouTube captions and more

Engineers from Google have commandeered a booth at this year's CSUN accessibility conference and they're keen to talk up their latest efforts. For the visually impaired, there's now a beta version of a Chrome screen reader called ChromeVox (demo'd after the break), plus improved shortcuts and screen reader support in Google Docs, Sites and Calendar. Meanwhile, YouTube boasts expanded caption support for the hard of hearing, with automatic captions enabled for 135 million video clips -- a healthy tripling of last year's total. Check the source link for full details or, if you're anywhere near San Diego, go and hassle those engineers the old-fashioned way.

Report: Facebook Read Users' Text Messages

The London Sunday Times is reporting that Facebook read text messages of users who downloaded the social network's smartphone app.

The story is behind a paywall, but Fox News summarized the article and said Facebook admitted to reading text messages as part of a trial to launch its own messaging service. It is not clear whether Facebook has discontinued the practice.

We've asked Facebook for comment and will update when we hear back from them.

"Your personal information is a precious commodity, and companies will go to great lengths to get their hands on as much of it as possible," Emma Draper, of the Privacy International campaign group, told the newspaper.

Facebook, according to the report, joins several high-profile Web firms that have been caught snooping on their customers. Flickr, dating site Badoo and Yahoo Messenger have all been accused of accessing users' private data, and YouTube can remotely access and operate a smartphone's camera, security experts told the Times. My Remote Lock and the app Tennis Juggling Game have the ability to intercept phone calls.
