Today's Video Focus: They know us better than we know ourselves: that's the impression you might get from the Facebook data harvesting scandal. And while the crisis has dented the social media giant's reputation, it has vowed to clean up its act when it comes to users' personal details. But some of the controls Facebook has brought in after the scandal could end up strengthening its already powerful position in global digital advertising.



Focus of the Day Story: Baroness Hale, President of the Supreme Court, has championed no-fault divorce in a speech to family lawyers, a month before the court is due to hear the high-profile case of Owens v Owens. Addressing family justice organisation Resolution’s annual conference in Bristol this week, Baroness Hale said current divorce law is ‘confusing and misleading’ as well as discriminatory since many poorer parties, including victims of abuse, cannot afford to separate from their spouse until they get the court orders available only on divorce. She said it provokes bitterness and can make things worse for children. Full story - New Law Journal
