 Good morning! This is the tech news you need to know this Monday. 1. Facebook was accused of undermining international aid efforts in Burma because it spreads fake news. UK politicians claimed Facebook's "Free Basics" internet service was "deeply unethical."
2. Twitter's share price plummeted 18% on Friday after reporting a decline in monthly active users. Twitter blamed the active user decline on new European privacy rules and its decision not to move to paid SMS carrier relationships, and on its efforts to clean up the platform. 3.

Many users complained Saturday evening that there were issues with checking in on the app and purchasing a ticket on their MoviePass card. 4.
