法国调查媒体Mediapart周一报道称，因内部对观众个人数据处理方式提出担忧，法国电视集团（France Televisions）放弃了聘请一家以色列公司为政治节目开发互动工具的计划。
France Televisions scrapped plans to use an Israeli company to develop an interactive tool for a political program after internal concerns were raised over the handling of viewers’ personal data, French investigative outlet Mediapart reported Monday.
据报道，这家公共广播机构原计划与专营电子商务的以色列公司Terrific合作，为France 2政治节目《L’heure de verite》（《真相时刻》）的重新推出开发一个名为Agora的互动平台，该节目定于10月8日播出。报道称，该平台旨在让观众向总统候选人提问，并实时参与民调。
The public broadcaster had reportedly planned to work with Terrific, an Israeli company specializing in e-commerce, on an interactive platform called Agora for the relaunch of France 2’s political program, L’heure de verite (The Hour of Truth), scheduled for Oct. 8. The platform was intended to allow viewers to send questions to presidential candidates and participate in polls in real time, according to the report.
Mediapart报道称，该项目可能涉及收集France Televisions旗下Franceinfo网站用户的政治偏好数据。
Mediapart reported that the project could have involved the collection of data on the political preferences of users of France Televisions’ Franceinfo website.
该媒体还报道称，Terrific首席执行官Israel Grintz于2018年共同创办了一家营销政治竞选定向工具的公司。
The outlet also reported that Terrific CEO Israel Grintz co-founded a company in 2018 that markets political campaign targeting tools.
据Mediapart报道，该广播机构最终放弃了这个项目，并将相关工作交给自己的技术团队。
France Televisions ultimately abandoned the project and assigned the work to its own technical teams, according to Mediapart.
该广播机构告诉Mediapart，Terrific曾为电视节目（包括政治节目）提出一套公众互动系统，但其编辑和技术团队进行的测试未得出确定结果。
The broadcaster told Mediapart that Terrific had proposed a public-interaction system for television programs, including political programs, but that tests conducted by its editorial and technical teams had not been conclusive.
Mediapart还报道称，人们对Terrific开发的另一款广告工具Shoppable存在担忧，该工具曾在France.tv平台使用。

9月3日，在用户报告称其杀毒软件检测到与网络钓鱼和个人数据有关的风险后，该工具被从平台移除。
The tool was removed from the platform on Sept. 3 after users reported that their antivirus software had detected risks related to phishing and personal data.
France Televisions的技术团队发现，该工具在收集可能用于建立用户画像的数据，包括唯一标识符、访问过的页面网址和某些内容元数据。
France Televisions’ technical teams had found the tool was collecting data that could contribute to creating user profiles, including a unique identifier, URLs of pages visited and certain content metadata.
