Amidst the global furore over the privacy policies of tech companies and the data they share with third-parties, Twitter has announced its updated
privacy policy to comply with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, to come into effect on May 25, 2018.Users, Twitter says, will be better able to control personal data, as well as their rights over the content they share.
In the explosion of fake news, where one report is worse than the other, social media users were taken aback to see a post with the Republic TV logo quoting journalist Rana Ayyub to the effect that the government ordinance to hang rapists of minors was directed at Muslims! Ayyub had to take to Twitter and Facebook to clarify that she never said any such thing and the account itself was a parody of Republic TV. We are waiting for Republic TV to condemn the account's post!
