Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday admitted that the social media company "made mistakes" that led to tens of millions of users’ data being compromised. Data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica has been accused of improperly obtaining and using the data via a personality quiz app, which is said to have influenced the 2016 US presidential election result. As Facebook’s stock plummets and the investigation heats up, how many friends can Facebook keep? How can personal data be kept safe? 

Joining the discussion were Robert Siciliano, Security Analyst at Hotspot Shield, a virtual private network utility protecting users on Wifi, and Einar Tangen, current affairs commentator.
 
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday won his fourth and supposedly the last term. Voter turnout hit 77 percent, breaking the highest record in Russia's history since presidential elections began. How will Putin shape Russia and its relations with the rest of the world?

Pavel Felgenhauer, Russian Political and Defense Analyst, shared his views.
