Feds will formally recall Samsung Galaxy Note 7
Samsung has agreed to replace every single Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, after at least 35 reports that the phone’s batteries could overheat and explode. But some argued the voluntary recall wasn’t enough, since the phones were still on sale. Consumer Reports called for the US Consumer Product Safety Commission to step in and do more.In a emailed statement Friday, the CPSC now says it’s officially working with Samsung on a recall — as well as evaluating whether a simple phone exchange is enough of a solution.

Facebook U-turn over ’Napalm girl’ photograph
Facebook says it will allow an iconic photograph of a girl fleeing a Napalm attack taken during the Vietnam war in 1972 to be used on its platform.It had previously removed the image, posted by a Norwegian author, on the grounds that it contained nudity.The move sparked a debate about Facebook’s role as an editor.The editor of Norway’s largest newspaper had written an open letter to Facebook’s chief Mark Zuckerberg calling the ban ”an abuse of power”.The tech giant said it had ”listened to the community” and acknowledged the ”global importance” of the photo.”Because of its status as an iconic image of historical importance, the value of permitting sharing outweighs the value of protecting the community by removal, so we have decided to reinstate the image on Facebook where we are aware it has been removed,” it said in a statement.”It will take some time to adjust these systems but the photo should be available for sharing in the coming days.”We are always looking to improve our policies to make sure they both promote free expression and keep our community safe.”
