Facebook Agrees to Pay Record $5 Billion Settlement in Privacy Investigation
Facebook 同意支付创纪录的50亿美元隐私调查
Facebook agreed to pay a record $5 billion to resolve a U.S. investigation into years of privacy violations, a settlement that increases the board of directors’ responsibility for protecting users’ data while changing little about the company’s lucrative advertising business.
同意支付创纪录的50亿美元来解决美国对多年侵犯隐私的调查，这一和解增加了董事会保护用户数据的责任，同时对公司利润丰厚的广告业务几乎没有改变。
The agreement, announced Wednesday by the Federal Trade Commission, will for the first time end Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg’s final authority over privacy decisions, creating an independent privacy committee of directors on the company’s board, according to an FTC statement.
美国联邦贸易委员会周三宣布的这项协议，将首次终结首席执行官马克·扎克伯格在隐私决策方面的最终权力，根据联邦贸易委员会的一份声明，在公司董事会成立一个独立的隐私委员会。
The accord will also require Facebook to keep a tighter leash on third-party apps, perform regular sweeps for unencrypted passwords and refrain from using telephone numbers obtained for security purposes for advertising. It also calls for the company to conduct privacy reviews of new offerings and submit to new privacy certifications and assessments.
该协议还将要求 Facebook 对第三方应用程序进行更严格的控制，对未加密的密码进行定期清除，并禁止将为安全目的获取的电话号码用于广告。它还要求该公司对新产品进行隐私审查，并提交新的隐私认证和评估。

Banana fungus puts Latin America on alert
香蕉真菌引起拉丁美洲警惕
In a long-feared development, an extremely damaging disease of bananas has apparently reached Latin America. Late last week, the Colombian Agricultural Institute in Bogotá officially acknowledged that four plantations in northern Colombia have been quarantined because of suspected infection with Fusarium wilt tropical race 4 (TR4), a fungus that kills plants by clogging their vascular system. Already widespread in Asia, the disease can eventually wipe out entire plantations. The finding has yet to be confirmed—results from genome sequencing are expected in early August—but already countries in the region are on high alert. A major outbreak of TR4 could ruin many farmers and drive up banana prices globally. New ways to battle the scourge are on the horizon, including transgenic bananas that can resist the fungus.
在一个令人长期担忧的发展过程中，一种极具破坏性的香蕉病害显然已经蔓延到了拉丁美洲。上周晚些时候，位于波哥大的哥伦比亚农业研究所正式承认，哥伦比亚北部的四个种植园已经被隔离，因为怀疑感染了热带枯萎病第4类病毒(TR4) ，这种真菌通过堵塞植物的血管系统杀死植物。这种疾病已经在亚洲广泛传播，最终可能毁灭整个种植园。这一发现尚未得到证实ーー基因组测序的结果预计将在8月初公布ーー但该地区的国家已经处于高度警惕状态。Tr4的大规模爆发可能会毁掉许多农民，并推高全球香蕉价格。对抗这一灾难的新方法正在出现，包括转基因香蕉可以抵抗这种真菌。
