Tesla / China

In China, Tesla cars are no longer allowed on army bases. An internal report from the Chinese armed forces fears that the cameras of the cars could be used to collect sensitive data. Anyone arriving with such a Tesla must leave their car outside the military complexes. Bloomberg news agency reports that a source from the Chinese military states that the government has difficulty controlling this technology.

SpaceX & NASA

In America, the space agencies SpaceX and NASA have reached an agreement on safety in space, mainly to prevent satellite collisions. "As commercial companies are launching more satellites, it is important that we improve communication and exchange information," said NASA CEO Steve Jurczyk. "That way we can keep a safe space environment."

Twitter

Twitter believes that it is no longer possible for politicians to break the rules, and that action must be taken. This was announced on their website. That is why they now want to enlist the help of various users, academics and experts, in the field of human rights. Twitter also wonders what an appropriate punishment would be for government leaders who break the rules.

Facebook / Instagram

Facebook is investigating to see if a special version of Instagram could be made for children under the age of thirteen. This was reported today by Buzzfeed News. In the existing version, children under the age of thirteen can pretend to be older and thus gain access to the platform. With the new version, they would have direct access to Instagram, but in a safe environment. (No date of birth should be entered anymore).
