Nach seiner Freilassung aus britischer Haft hat sich der Wikileaks-Gründer Julian Assange vor einem US-Gericht im Zusammenhang mit Spionagevorwürfen in einem Anklagepunkt schuldig bekannt.

Washington (AFP) - Facebook's previous major scandals barely dented its global dominance, but experts said Wednesday the tech giant may have hit a red line this time: evidence that it knew children using its apps were at risk of being harmed. A day after damning testimony to US lawmakers from Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, the long-established barriers to regulation -- stalled legislation, free speech protections and tech's rapid advances -- were still in place.
