D.C. Attorney General Sues Facebook over User Privacy Violations
----------------------------------------------------------------

The D.C. attorney general sued Facebook Wednesday for allowing outside
companies, including political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica, to
access user data and misleading users on the privacy of their data. In
more news about Facebook, the social networking giant has temporarily
blocked the account of Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, over "hate speech." Earlier this month, Yair
Netanyahu posted multiple racist posts, calling Palestinians "monsters"
and saying he wished there were no Muslims in Israel, claiming Muslims
were terrorists.
