THE National Privacy Commission (NPC) asked Jollibee Foods Corp. (JFC) and Viber for explanations on the Christmas campaign after user complaints.

In a statement on Tuesday, the NPC said it noted media reports and user backlash against JFC’s Christmas campaign as branded marketing materials, such as automated greetings and digital stickers, appeared in private Viber chats when triggered by certain words like Merry Christmas and holiday, among others.

This prompted concerns about “boundaries of digital marketing” and the “unsolicited processing of personal data.”

The commission said it is assessing if the campaign violated the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA).

“If the campaign involves the processing of personal data, PICs (personal information controllers) must ensure adherence to the principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality,” the commission said.

“In such cases, consent must be specific and freely given, and data subjects must be afforded the right to object to the processing of their information for direct marketing purposes,” it added.

Under the DPA, PICs must ensure that processing personal data for direct marketing adheres to the key principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality.

JFC did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment. — Alexandria Grace C. Magno

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
