  • As if Facebook didn't already know enough about you, the social media giant has been asking banks for customers' financial data, including card transactions and checking account balances, The Wall Street Journal first reported. Facebook later clarified it's seeking information solely for use in customer services functions in Messenger. How reassuring.
  • According to a new report, only about 2 percent of the people who use Amazon's Alexa voice assistant have bought something using voice. Instead, users are primarily asking Alexa to play music or check the weather.
