Facebook expands 'Find Wi-Fi' feature globally
Facebook is rolling out its feature to find nearby public Wi-Fi connections worldwide for both iOS and Android devices. The feature, which was introduced last year in select countries, helps users find internet service where wireless coverage is spotty, like in rural areas.
Why it matters: Helping its 2 billion users find free wireless broadband service in their vicinity obviously allows them to visit the app more frequently, even when they don't have reliable coverage. It's especially valuable for getting more users on the Facebook app in developing markets where consumers have limited or expensive data plans. Facebook is also investing in other similar projects to get more people connected wirelessly, such as its Internet.org initiative and a fiber backhaul network in Uganda. As TechCrunch points out, the tool also lets users to rely on Facebook instead of Google Maps to find nearby coffee shops, restaurants, or hotels with hotspots.

Morning Joe to Trump: "Why do you keep lying?"
Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough bit back at Trump on Twitter Friday morning for repeatedly "lying", this time about an alleged call from Scarborough asking Trump to stop a National Enquirer article from running:
- Trump tweet: "Watched low rated @Morning_Joe for first time in long time. FAKE NEWS. He called me to stop a National Enquirer article. I said no! Bad show."
- Scarborough's reply: "Yet another lie. I have texts from your top aides and phone records. Also, those records show I haven't spoken with you in many months. ... Why do you keep lying about things that are so easily disproven? What is wrong with you?"
- Timing: Their bitter exchange took place just minutes after Scarborough wrapped his Friday segment, in which he and co-host Mika Brzenzski addressed Trump's Thursday attacks against them. "We're okay – the country's not," said Scarborough.
