YouTube HQ shooting, Uber gets a London rival, Spotify FINALLY IPOs and more in The Week in Tech
Summary
The UK tech unicorn, bought by Ctrip in December 2016 for £1.4bn, has partnered with Trip.com, which will supply the data to enable Skyscanner’s iOS app users to search for cheap train tickets. The company is positioning itself as an Uber alternative, claiming to offer the lower fares, better treatment of drivers and riders, and a corporate ethos that puts safety first. Navarro will continue to oversee the company’s trajectory in her roles as president and partner board member, but Sebastien Blanc, the current chief revenue officer, will become the new CEO. Suspect Nasim Najafi Aghdam tragically injured three people at the tech giant’s HQ in San Bruno (California) before ending her own life. Zuckerberg, who was widely criticised for his long-silence in the aftermath of the Cambridge Analytica allegations, answered journalists’ questions this week, affirming that despite the current turmoil, he was still the best person to run Facebook.
