רשות התחרות מתנגדת למיזוג בין יפעת מחקרי מדיה לבאזילה כלכליסט

The Israeli Competition Authority opposes the merger between Yafet Media Research and Bazila. The companies, which specialize in content monitoring and research on the internet, have requested to merge again after their previous request in 2012 was rejected. The merged company would hold over 50% of the market share in content monitoring and research. The Competition Authority believes that approving the merger would significantly harm competition and give the merged company an unfair advantage. Yafet Media Research is a private company owned by the Beges family, while Bazila is also a private company involved in content monitoring on the internet.

Israel buys social media monitoring system that can 'plant ideas' in online discourse

The Israeli government has purchased a software system from Buzzilla that allows it to monitor social media and specific users. The software has the ability to plant ideas in online debates and forums. The main purpose of the system is to monitor public sentiment and identify trends. However, there are concerns about the potential for the government to sway debates and focus on specific individuals, such as supporters of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement against Israel. The system does not use encryption, raising security concerns. The Finance Ministry states that individual ministries are responsible for setting their own policies regarding data collection and usage. Legal experts argue that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy when posting on social networks and that the collection and use of their information should be limited.
