 Good morning! This is the tech news you need to know this Tuesday. 1. Facebook is facing increasing pressure from federal authorities as a result of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The US Department of Justice's investigation is now looking at Facebook itself, and the SEC and FTC have also joined the inquiry. 2. An engineer who was at the centre of a trade secrets lawsuit between Uber and Waymo now appears to be involved with a new autonomous truck startup called Kache.ai. According to TechCrunch, Anthony Levandowski is tied to the secretive Kache.ai despite not being listed in any of the company's business filings. 3. Ride-hailing company Lyft is officially moving beyond cars and getting into the bike-sharing business. The company is acquiring Motivate, the company behind New York Citi Bikes and San Francisco's Ford GoBikes. 4.

The issues appear to be exclusive to the most recent Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus, and it's unclear whether other models are affected. 8. Facebook is close to acquiring a London-based start-up called Bloomsbury AI to help it combat fake news, according to TechCrunch. Bloomsbury AI specialises in natural language processing technology, and has developed an AI called "Cape," which can read text documents and answer questions about their contents. 9. MoviePass has filed paperwork to raise up to $1.2 billion to stay afloat. The money will help keep the cinema subscription business going, but will also help fund some acquisitions. 10. Facebook is shutting down an anonymous app for teens it bought less than a year ago.
