    Amazon Confirms Its Looking for Actor to Reprise Jack Reacher in the Upcoming Series

    It seems that Aquaman: King of Atlantis miniseries is in fact coming in HBO Max with James Wan serving as a producer for the upcoming animated miniseries. In case you didn’t know, Warner Bros. has ordered the three-part animated series that is currently in the works. While the story of the upcoming miniseries is unknown, it will take place after the events of Aquaman movie. As a result, it makes a lot of sense to get Wan to produce the upcoming series. As of now, the Aquaman: King of Atlantis will begin with Arthur Curry’s first day as the king of Atlantis following the movie’s events. Sarah Aubrey, head of original content for HBO Max, recently said http://deadline.com/2020/01/aquaman-king-of-atlantis-hbo-max-greenlights-james-wans-animated-mini-series-1202831114/ , "This DC property is a fan-favorite rich with well-known characters and dynamic storylines. On the heels of Warner Bros. Pictures' box office smash hit, we are certain Aquaman: King of Atlantis will be an exciting addition to our already robust slate of kids and family programming." As mentioned earlier, it’s unclear how the upcoming animated series will proceed the story. Moreover, as Aquaman 2 is currently preparing to go into production, it’ll be interesting to see if the miniseries directly leads to Aquaman 2. While we don’t know for sure who will be voicing characters in the upcoming series, it won’t be a major shock if the cast members of the movie give voices to the characters for the animated series as well. At the moment, we don’t know a lot of details regarding the upcoming series. But as we move forward, we should learn more about Aquaman: King of Atlantis over the next couple of months.

Facebook Had Collected 187,000 Users’ Data with Its Research App

Facebook Had Collected 187,000 Users’ Data with Its Research App

Earlier yesterday, Facebook unveiled its Study for Facebook app in an attempt to understand how people use apps on their smartphones. In case you are unaware, Facebook had released its Research app few months back which contained similar features. According to a report by TechCrunch, the company had collected personal and sensitive data of 187,000 users.

The latest news shouldn’t come off as a massive surprise. Earlier this year, Apple banned the application by saying it was violating its policies. However, Facebook defended the practice by saying that it was paying for users’ data and it was collecting data with users’ consent.

As for the app itself, Facebook Research app required users to download the app from a third-party app store. It collected device data by installing a root certificate. While the app was marketed by saying that it was collecting data of only those who approved it, the app collected consenting users’ friends’ data as well.

Talking about the potential privacy setbacks of the latest rebrand of the Research app, Senator Richard Blumenthal told TechCrunch, “After its previous app was taken down and blocked from operating, Facebook moved more quickly to reintroduce a market research product than it has to provide any substantial consumer privacy protections or resolve the significant abuse on its platform. At a time when the company is under investigation for its data practices and anticompetitive actions, the Facebook Study app is at best tone-deaf and ill-considered.”

Facebook’s latest release comes as a huge surprise as the company is still under scrutiny over Cambridge Analytica scandal. At the moment, the company is focus of investigations for violating US anti-trust laws.
