Exciting news for Facebook users. In the near future, the social network will reveal what Russian propaganda users were exposed to during the 2016 presidential election.
A list of Facebook Pages or Instagram accounts will appear in a new online portal within Facebook’s Help Center and will be available to all users by the end of the year, Facebook announced in a blog post Wednesday.
The reveal is all a part of Facebook’s attempt to make up for allowing Russian trolls to interfere with the election. Accounts linked to the Internet Research Agency (IRA) created posts to manipulate voters during the 2016 election and reached more than 150 million people.

Apple’s work on self-driving cars has been more secretive than just about every other project in the autonomous car space — but now, two of the company’s scientists have published some of their auto-focused research for the first time.
The paper, authored by Apple engineers Yin Zhou and Oncel Tuzel and published in the independent journal arXiv, details a new computer imaging software technique called “VoxelNet” that could improve a driverless car system’s ability to detect pedestrians and cyclists.
The scientists claim their new method could be even more effective than the two-tiered LiDAR and camera systems that have become the industry standard for object detection in self-driving cars. Those expensive systems depend on cameras to help determine the small or faraway objects (like pedestrians or cyclists) detected by LiDAR sensors, which use light beams to detect and map 3D obstacles in the world around the the vehicle.
