Summary | Google and Facebook are beginning to respond to the wide criticism that they do nothing to combat fake news on their platforms. Critics blame the uncontested spread of fake news for the voting of Donald Trump. Facebook and Google are now trying to block new providers on their platforms that spread misleading content but critics doubt that these measures are very effective.

Summary | A collective of Berlin-based artists have opened an art exhibition in Manhattan reflecting present society's relationship with new technology and data privacy. Contemporary art concerned with technology is much more pessimistic than it used to be a decade or two ago. The initial optimism is gone and artists have begun to criticize the fact that what we base our sense of self on nowadays - social media - is owned by a handful of corporations and are geared towards mining our data and selling us products.
