"Today, Mark Zuckerberg confirmed that Russian troll farms reached 126 million Facebook users. Donald Trump won the electoral college by just 70,000 votes," Werner said in a statement.

      Facebook just launched its new app ‘Workplace’ - here’s 5 things you need to know

      It seems that even at work, you will no longer be able to escape from Facebook - after the company launched a new app, Workplace. The idea is that it’s like Facebook (complete with profiles, chats and News Feed), but used within workplaces (who pay Facebook to use it). It’s a bit different to ‘normal’ Facebook - you don’t log in with your normal account, but use a special work one, and there’s a News Feed and messaging for your company.
