Facebook ordered by Germany to gather less user data

Germany tells Facebook it must stop collecting so much data without user's consent.

Germany has carried out a probe into the social network following concerns that members were unaware of the extent of the firm's activities. It covered data gathered from third-party sources as well as via Facebook's other apps, including Instagram. Also, predictions that Britain will see its lowest growth for a decade as the EU agrees to new talks on Brexit. And new medical advice on children's use of screen-time and social media.
