Summary | Facebook’s head of global policy management recently agreed to remove anything that violates the Vietnamese law from the social network. Governments around the world (even in the US) are increasingly trying to keep control of what's happening online. As a result, governments and big tech companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook or Amazon don't always agree with each other. On the one hand, big tech companies want to have more control and power, and on the other hand, nations want to gain more control over people's online behvior. Facebook's desire to expand everywhere (e.g. in China) is one of the reasons for today's struggle between tech companies and nations. Facebook also faced some issues in Europe and Africa.

Summary | It is imperative for everyone who wants to stay updated in their field to keep educating themselves. Traditinally, this education happened in company seminars but there are increasingly more online courses on offer. MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) are a modern alternative where teachers and students never meet in person but interact entirely digitally. A course design in between the two is called "blended learning" where students first self-educate online and meet up in a seminar later on. Hot topics in further education of professionals are all things connected to technology and especially topics around privacy.
