Today's Story Highlights
EU Watchdog Accuses Facebook, Google of Privacy Shenanigans
Facebook and Google have manipulated users into sharing data using so- called "dark patterns," according to a report from the Norwegian
Consumer Council. The practices nudged users toward accepting privacy
options that favored the tech companies rather than themselves, the NCC
found. Facebook and Google have no intention of providing users with an
actual choice, the NCC has claimed.

Peppermint 9 Offers Some Cool New Options
Peppermint 9 accomplishes something most other Linux distros don't: It melds the best components from other desktop environments and integrates
them into a solid operating system. The latest release nearly completes
a process begun several upgrades ago, using more Xfce elements and fewer
LXDE components. Peppermint is a good alternative to the Linux Mint Xfce
release.

WPA3 Arrives to Shore Up WiFi Security
Network devices with better security will be hitting the market this year, thanks to Wi-Fi Certified WPA3, which the Wi-Fi Alliance launched
Tuesday. The announcement paves the way for the proliferation of devices
that support the new, more secure protocol for WiFi communication, which
is designed to replace the 14-year-old WPA2. The new protocol adds
features to simplify WiFi security.
