Let's get started.
1. A third Facebook whistleblower has emerged. The anonymous former employee told The Washington Post that Facebook exempted right-wing outlet Breitbart from certain rules because it didn't want to "start a fight with Steve Bannon."
- The new whistleblower also filed a complaint with the SEC, claiming Facebook enabled criminal activity, such as drug trades, within Groups. After raising the issues with the company, the whistleblower was reportedly told to "focus on the good."
- Facebook's streak of bad press isn't over just yet. In an internal post obtained by Axios, Facebook's VP warned staff that worse coverage could be on the way: "We need to steel ourselves for more bad headlines in the coming days, I'm afraid."
- Frances Haugen led a "meticulous" media rollout of her trove of Facebook documents. The New York Times outlined how the whistleblower offered to share more inside details from the tech company with 17 media outlets after a "boutique rollout" with the Wall Street Journal.
2. Elizabeth Holmes trial Week Seven recap: A juror was sent home for playing Sudoku, a former staffer testified he was told to change numbers to make test results seem normal, and there were plans for a $1 billion IPO. Here's what else you might have missed last week.

5. A Harvard freshman's social-networking app sparked a debate about facial recognition. The app, called "The FaceTag," lets users sign up, scan the face of another user, and exchange contact information - but it's sparked a debate online, with some people are saying the app is unethical, and that he shouldn't have made it at all.
6. Facebook and Google worked together to circumvent Apple's privacy measures. Twelve state attorneys general allege that Google worked with Facebook to undermine Apple's attempts to offer its users great privacy protections, according to an updated antitrust lawsuit against the search engine. What we know so far.
