It's Day One of GDPR, and Facebook, Google Are Accused of Breaking New Rules
Within hours of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) going into effect today, a privacy group accused Facebook (FB), Alphabet (GOOGL)'s Google, WhatsApp, and Instagram of violating Europe's strict new data-protection law. Austrian lawyer Max Schrems, a frequent critic of Facebook's privacy policies, on Friday filed complaints that claim the companies forced members to consent to terms of service with a "take it or leave it" threat. "Tons of 'consent boxes' popped up online or in applications, often combined with a threat, that the service cannot longer be used if user(s) do not consent," Schrems’ nonprofit organization, NOYB, said in a statement.

Associated Press•2 hours agoAP Explains: What's changing under new data privacy rules
Europe's new data and privacy rules take effect Friday, clarifying individual rights to the personal data collected by companies around the world for targeted advertising and other purposes. Years in the making, the rules are prompting companies to rewrite their privacy policies and in some cases, apply the European Union's tougher standards even in the U.S. and other regions where privacy laws are weak. Although they take effect as Facebook faces an enormous privacy crisis , that timing is largely coincidental.

Which FANG Stocks Look Best For A Summer Rally?
The stock market has tossed and turned this week in reaction to changes in the negotiations with North Korea and the looming threat of trade wars, but overall, it continues to act positive. This is consistent with the fact that the advance/decline lines, which had been in the corrective mode since March, finally completed their corrective patterns two weeks ago. NEW YORK, NY - MAY 21: Traders and financial professionals work ahead of the closing bell on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), May 21, 2018 in New York City. Much of the concern was focused on Facebook (FB), after the news about Cambridge Analytica was revealed in the middle of March.
