Facebook has been【C1】______with fire and has got its fingers burned, again. On November 29th America’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced that it had reached a【C2】______settlement with the giant social network over【C3】______that it had misled people about its use of their personal data.
The details of the settlement make clear that Facebook, which【C4】______over 800m users, betrayed its users’ trust. It is also notable because it appears to be part of a broader【C5】______by the FTC to craft a new privacy framework to deal with the rapid【C6】______of social networks in America.
The regulator’s findings come at a【C7】______moment for Facebook, which is said to be preparing for an initial public offering next year that could value it at around $100 billion. To【C8】______the way for its listing, the firm first needs to resolve its privacy【C9】______with regulators in America and Europe,【C10】______its willingness to negotiate the settlement【C11】______this week.
Announcing the agreement, the FTC said it had found a number of cases where Facebook had made claims that were "unfair and deceptive, and【C12】______federal law". For instance, it【C13】______personally identifiable information to advertisers, and it failed to keep a promise to make photos and videos on deleted accounts【C14】______.
The settlement does not【C15】______an admission by Facebook that it has broken the law, but it deeply【C16】______the company nonetheless. In a blog post published the same day, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’ s boss, tried to【C17】______the impact of the deal. First he claimed that " a small number of high-profile mistakes" were【C18】______the social network’s "good history" on privacy.
The FTC is not relying on Facebook to police itself. Among other things, the company will now have to seek consumers’ approval before it changes the way it shares their data. And it has agreed to an independent privacy audit every two years for the next 20 years.
There is a clear pattern here. In separate cases over the past couple of years the FTC has insisted that Twitter and Google accept regular【C19】______audits, too, after each firm was accused of violating its customers’ privacy. The intent seems to be to create a regulatory regime that is tighter than the status quo,【C20】______one that still gives social networks plenty of room to innovate.
【C2】
选项
A、craft
B、documentary
C、trade
D、draft
答案
D
解析
横线处所在的这句话的大意是“在11月29日,美国联邦贸易委员会(FTC)宣布它已经与脸谱网达成了 2 协议,……”。协议(settlement)一词前面要加一个形容词。[A]craft意思是“工艺,手艺”;[B]documentary意思是“纪实的,纪录的”;[C]trade“贸易”;[D]draft“草稿的,草拟的”。首先因为语义不符,可以将[A]、[B]排除。根据后半句话的内容over 3 that it had misled people about its use of their personal data,我们可以知道脸谱网因为在使用用户数据方面出了纰漏,所以FTC才和它签订这样一个协议,可见这并不是一个贸易协议,而应该是一个管理协议。唯一符合句义的是draft settlement“一项草拟协议”。
