The Data That Turned the World Upside Down. This article was originally published January 28, 2017. Update: March 17, 2018: Facebook lawyer Paul Grewal announced in a blog post Friday that the company has suspended Strategic Communication Laboratories and its data analytics firm, Cambridge Analytica, from the platform. According to Facebook, Aleksandr Kogan lied about deleting data that he obtained from a Facebook personality test and improperly passed it to third parties. As we and others have reported, Cambridge Analytica ultimately partnered with the Donald Trump campaign to leverage the data of millions of Facebook users to target them with advertisements and campaign material.

C'est le nombre de personnes qui risquent de connaître la famine et la malnutrition au Yémen, en Somalie, au Soudan du Sud et au Nigeria si une aide d'urgence ne leur est pas rapidement fournie. C'est en tout cas le constat accablant qu'a fait vendredi 10 mars le secrétaire général adjoint aux affaires humanitaires des Nations unies Stephen O'Brien, devant le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU.
En Somalie, le risque de famine est le résultat de la sécheresse, mais pour les trois autres pays, cette crise a été "causée par l'homme" puisqu'elle est due à des conflits armés. Stephen O'Brien réclame donc 4,4 milliards de dollars (4,12 milliards d'euros) à la communauté internationale d'ici juillet prochain pour "éviter une catastrophe".

It affects all of us, the world over. The debate over its sudden acceleration has raged for years, with politicians, academics and activists alike helpless to stop its steady growth despite countless speeches, statistical analyses, a few meagre protests, and the occasional documentary. Still, questions remain: why? And why now? The Panama Papers provide a compelling answer to these questions: massive, pervasive corruption.
