    The decision came in light of the deteriorating COVID-19 crisis and is applicable to all Google employees who are not needed in office.

  • A shocking report from Bloomberg revealed that Twitter's contractors used the company's internal tools to spy on celebrities, including Beyoncé, a few years ago.

    Apparently, they made a game out of the tools (without being checked), which were meant for resetting accounts and dealing with content violations, and created fake help-desk inquiries to look into celebrities' accounts, their personal data, and approximate location.
