In the warm afterglow of a $3.2 billion acquisition, a sated executive can find himself muttering the professional version of pillow talk. That's what Nest CEO Tony Fadell sounded like on stage this morning at the DLD conference in Munich.

Those private ephemeral ads for losing pounds and enhancing penis size you see above appeared in my Snapchat feed yesterday, along with a handful of new "friends" in my contacts. I'm not the only one being inundated by spam.

Over a week after fucking up your privacy, Snapchat says it's "sorry" for a security hole that put your phone number in the open. All it took was universal umbrage!

Snapchat issued a statement about the security breach that exposed 4.6 million accounts. The company promised better privacy protection with the next update, but apparently brogramming means never having to say you're sorry.

On Bloomberg West today, Christopher Soghoian, a former privacy advisor to the Federal Trade Commission, said that after its recent security breach Snapchat better lawyer up because a federal investigation and class action lawsuits are undoubtedly coming its way.

While everyone was drunk last night, hackers published the user names and private phone numbers ("private") of 4.6 million Snapchat profiles. This comes directly after the startup, valued for its privacy, ignored the exact security hole that made this possible.

It only took half a year for the un-beating heart of America's tech sector to show any unified opposition to NSA dragnet techniques: ReformGovernmentSurveillance.com is a lazy piece of PR dreck—and about as transparently self-serving as it gets.

Code.org—a tech non-profit backed by Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and other top brass—wants to improve computer science education for young women and minorities. And hey, that's great. But it wouldn't be a Zuck joint without something insidious: the group will hold private data about kids for years.

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman just went full hashtag on Twitter to celebrate the news that Google reached a $17 million multi-state settlement over tracking consumers online. But considering that Google made $14.9 billion just last quarter, it hardly seems like a victory for consumer privacy.

Police in Laval, a large suburb just north of Montreal, arrested ten teenage boys this morning. Each were suspected of producing and distributing child pornography. Many of their alleged victims used Snapchat and assumed the pictures had been deleted.

Just because large, important chunks of Silicon Valley will play ball with American spies, doesn't mean all the underlings are game. Two security engineers at the company that runs your email inbox are speaking out, and they are using bad words.

In order to keep the internet humming, the biggest data companies in the world link enormous data centers together—and at the seams, the NSA has been listening. The Washington Post reports just how deeply the feds have infiltrated our online lives.

A deft move from Facebook after its last privacy furor: the company just told the Wall Street Journal that it's testing a method to track everywhere your mouse moves on the site. Everyone is going to love this!

Cool, more things to be terrified of: the Washington Post has more Ed Snowden slides detailing our federal government's data mining operations, and they are bad. Hundreds of millions of address books across Facebook, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, and other various inboxes are subject to secret NSA collection.

We knew Snapchat had policies in place for handing over "disposable" messages to the police—and now the company admits it's done so on "about a dozen" occasions.

Very soon, any Facebook user you haven't blocked will be able to search for your name and find your Facebook profile. It's Google for people and you're just a result. Only no one would know that this is a big change by the way Facebook describes it in its blog post. Ho-hum, just "finishing the removal of an old search setting," says chief privacy officer Michael Richter.

Zuck promised more details on how much of your online life Facebook hands over to the government, and he's starting to deliver. Bonus: we're not just getting The Government, but dozens of governments around the world. Guess who Facebook is working with the most?

When a company tells you that it was insecurely broadcasting your exact GPS location and Facebook profile for mere "hours," you hope you can trust them. That's what hookup app Tinder told us about its recent vulnerability, and it turns out, no, that wasn't true.

Quartz's Zachary Seward reports that Tinder, the hookup app du jour, was leaving your physical location and Facebook information open to prying eyes. It fixed the bug, but how long was your secret sexting identity open for the stealing?

If you use an iPhone or iPad to cruise Tumblr, change your login ASAP: the company just admitted a serious flaw in its iOS apps makes it easy for someone to steal your password out of thin air.
