Facebook is in hot water again after revelations that a data firm gained access to information from millions of users without their knowledge. Cambridge Analytica, a data analytics company with ties to the Trump campaign, was able to access information from 50 million Facebook users through a personality test app. Only 270,000 people downloaded the app, but the firm gained access to data from millions through extended networks. This happened back in 2015 but is just now coming to light. EU lawmakers are opening an investigation into whether this data was misused. Congress is calling on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify on this matter. For the first time ever, Apple is working to develop its own display screens. The company is reportedly testing out a small number of screens at a secret facility near its headquarters in California. Apple is working on new technology to make next-generation Micro LED screens.
