Facebook Response to the ACCC's Digital Platform Services Inquiry
Facebook response to the ACCC’s Digital Platform Services Inquiry September 2020 Interim Report 8 March 2021 Executive Summary The growth in the use of messaging apps (private messaging services as referred to in the Digital Platform Services Inquiry (D SPI) Interim Report September 2020 (I nterim Report )) has been one of the key trends of the digital ecosystem in recent years, and this has accelerated during the COVID 19 pandemic as many families, friends and workplaces have used small group conversations and direct messaging to stay in touch. Many different competitive solutions have been developed to respond to this consumer demand - whether it is pre-installed and default messaging apps like iMessage and Android Messages which also have exclusive access to support SMS as well as their own proprietary protocols (along with similar device maker SMS solutions); the wide variety of downloadable apps offering messaging services such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Snapchat, Discord, TikTok, Twitch or Google Chat (among others); or enterprise platforms such as Slack, Teams and Google Hangouts. Given the important role that messaging apps play in keeping Australian households connected and work colleagues productive, the inquiry as part of the DPSI by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission ( ACCC ) into private messaging is timely. Following the release of the Interim Report, Facebook provides this submission in order to set forth its concerns with the conclusions reached in the Interim Report. In the Interim Report, the ACCC finds that Facebook’s online private messaging services (Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp) are not “competitively constrained” by other private messaging services, implying that - even though there is a broad array of competing private messaging services - they do not provide effective competition against Facebook’s services.

Microsoft Windows 10 Update Hello, Microsoft Has Begun
Subject Line: Microsoft Windows 10 Update Hello, Microsoft has begun pushing a warning message to Windows 10 computers that a critical security update must be performed. Several clients have informed us that they are seeing the warning message. It will appear as a generic blue screen after your computer has been powered up, and it states that after April 10, 2018 Microsoft will no longer support your version of Windows 10 until the critical security update has been performed. Please note if your UAN computer has not been recently connected to the internet, you would not have received this message. UAN has confirmed that the warning message is a genuine message from Microsoft, and UAN strongly encourages all clients to perform this critical security update as soon as possible. Please note: ‐ This update is a Microsoft requirement and UAN cannot stop or delay its roll out. To perform the critical security updated select the ‘Download update’ button located within the warning message. ‐ This update is very large, for those clients that have metered internet usage at their home may want to perform the update at a different location with unmetered high speed internet, perhaps at another family member’s home. ‐ Several UAN staff members have performed the critical security update on their home computers, and the process took more than an hour to complete. To check that your computer has been updated or to force the update at a time that is convenient to you, go to the windows Start button and click on Settings (the icon that looks like a gear above the Start button) > Update and Security > Windows Update > Check for Updates and then follow the instructions on the screen.

CCIA Comments in ITU CWG-Internet OTT Open Consultation.Pdf
CCIA Response to the Open Consultation of the ITU Council Working Group on International Internet-related Public Policy Issues (CWG-Internet) on the “Public Policy considerations for OTTs” Summary. The Computer & Communications Industry Association welcomes this opportunity to present the views of the tech sector to the ITU’s Open Consultation of the CWG-Internet on the “Public Policy considerations for OTTs”.1 CCIA acknowledges the ITU’s expertise in the areas of international, technical standards development and spectrum coordination and its ambition to help improve access to ICTs to underserved communities worldwide. We remain supporters of the ITU’s important work within its current mandate and remit; however, we strongly oppose expanding the ITU’s work program to include Internet and content-related issues and Internet-enabled applications that are well beyond its mandate and core competencies. Furthermore, such an expansion would regrettably divert the ITU’s resources away from its globally-recognized core competencies. The Internet is an unparalleled engine of economic growth enabling commerce, social development and freedom of expression. Recent research notes the vast economic and societal benefits from Rich Interaction Applications (RIAs), a term that refers to applications that facilitate “rich interaction” such as photo/video sharing, money transferring, in-app gaming, location sharing, translation, and chat among individuals, groups and enterprises.2 Global GDP has increased US$5.6 trillion for every ten percent increase in the usage of RIAs across 164 countries over 16 years (2000 to 2015).3 However, these economic and societal benefits are at risk if RIAs are subjected to sweeping regulations.
