 Good morning! Here is the tech news you need to know this Monday. 1. Aleksandr Kogan, whose quiz obtained millions of users' Facebook profiles for Cambridge Analytica, is considering suing Facebook for defamation. He admitted to violating Facebook's developer policies. 2. Google is under fire for trying to avoid the "spirit" of the law as it prepares for the EU's strict privacy regulation, GDPR. Google said it will act as a data controller under the new regulation, giving it more latitude with people's data. 3. Florida detectives investigating a fatal police shooting went a funeral home to use the dead man's finger to unlock his phone. It didn't work. 4. Image-hosting firm SmugMug has acquired photo site Flickr from Yahoo, as the latter's breakup under Verizon begins. SmugMug has pledged to return the site to its former glory. 5. WikiLeaks says cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has frozen its bitcoin account. Coinbase hasn't confirmed the suspension, and WikiLeaks is calling for a boycott of the exchange. 6. A secretive Israeli service called Terrogence used Facebook data to build a massive facial recognition database, according to Forbes. Both Terrogence and its owner Verint are contractors for the US government. 7. Iran's central bank has banned the country's banks from cryptocurrency trades. The ban is due to money laundering concerns as the country tries to halt a currency crisis. 8. Amazon expects groceries and household products to account for half its business in India next five years. The company hinted that it would bring AmazonFresh to the country. 9. Bill Gates and SoftBank have backed EarthNow, a satellite startup which provides livestreaming from almost anywhere on earth to smartphones and tablets. The footage could be used to track illegal fishing, animal migration patterns, or forest fires, EarthNow said. 10. An FTC audit of Facebook's privacy practices in 2017 didn't find anything wrong with the firm, months before the Cambridge Analytica scandal hit.
