Internet shopping company Temu ran ads during the Super Bowl, but an awful lot of people claim that their app compromised their private information, and experts say it looks like malware.

On the streets of San Francisco strangers came together, put aside their differences, and joined forces to destroy a self-driving Waymo car. It’s a news roundup!
