New Facebook's LOGO 2019 | It is Coming


Facebook is changing their logo. Facebook is not just an app anymore. Various other companies or organizations like WhatsApp, Instagram, Oculus, Portal, Calibra, LiveRail etc are owned by Facebook. With one logo ‘FaceBook’ it is very much inappropriate to accurately depict the entire organization. So Facebook's logo is changing. The logo is supposed to be put to use in the “coming weeks” within Facebook products and marketing materials.

The popular and famous online THE VERGE says on their report, "This new logo will surely solve all of Facebook’s problems, New logo represents Facebook the parent company'.

Facebook's chief marketing officer Antonio Lucio said in a blog post that the new branding - which has the Facebook name spelled out in a different font than the one that's adorned its namesake service for years - was "designed for clarity, and uses custom typography and capitalization to create visual distinction between the company and app."

On Monday, 4 November 2019, Facebook unveiled a new logo as a parent company in their newsroom. In this logo, only the word Facebook is highlighted in a generic font. A GIF made logo uses few colors combination to show all the organizations, such as Facebook with blue, WhatsApp with green and Instagram with pink etc. The new Facebook logo will be seen in various marketing products and services along with Facebook soon.

In their blog post on Facebook, they said, they started out as a single app. After 15 years, the number of Facebook products and services has increased. Different businesses have been added here. That’s why Facebook is changing the brand logo to give clearer idea of ​​Facebook products and services.

FaceBook's AI Tool | Facial Recognition System


Facebook's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Team has developed a tool that can fool the Facial Recognition System. This will prevent identifying anyone faces by mistake from a video. This system is called 'de-identification' system. It also works on live video. The main facial feature of a video's content is changed using machine learning in the system.

A report by famous tech website VentureBeat says, face recognition may cause privacy issues. In addition, there may be abuse of technology such as changing the facial appearance of the video. Facebook's new tool will prevent such type of misuse. Earlier the de-identification system used on images.

This tool will be presented at a conference called ‘International Conference on Computer Vision’ in Seoul, South Korea, next week. The tool of facial recognition has been announced when $ 35 billion class action lawsuit against Facebook is not over.

According to an IANS report, Facebook has had a $ 35 billion class-action lawsuit in the US state of Illinois. Facebook requested to dismiss the facial recognition related lawsuit case in the state. But a three-member of San Francisco judge panel rejected Facebook’s appeal.


The complaint stated that Facebook did not seek permission before identifying people images by scanning of Illinois people. They did not even know how long that information would be stored on Facebook. Facebook has begun mapping their facial identities since the beginning of the 2011.

If Facebook loses in this case, then they have to pay every person a fine from $ 1,000 to $ 5,000. For total 7 million users FaceBook will have to pay around $ 35 from their pocket.

The judge in the court said that facial recognition software violates a person's personal affairs and factual preferences. This violates the Illinois Bio-metric Information Privacy Act.

Now we can wait and see what’s going to happen next!

Thanks,
