Our personal information powers the digital advertising industry that underpins the internet. In return for surveillance, we get targeted adverts and free online services. What we don't get is pricing clarity. 

The Generation Lab says hedge funds have been particularly interested in the information that it is collecting.  All of this is above board. If you let an app track you and the app lets brokers buy the data then it's fair game. In Europe, internet users must be notified about data collection and offered opt-outs (though these can be complicated). In the US, there is no federal privacy law.

   Donald Trump said US cities should be used as military "training grounds" as he addressed an unprecedented gathering of admirals and generals.

The president told the military's top brass on Tuesday that "America is under invasion from within", as he defended his deployment of troops to cities including Los Angeles and Washington, DC.

Trump also vowed to continue to expand the military's deployment on US soil, which he claims is vital to fight crime in America's cities.
