| Tumblr cracks down on adult content, Quora announces a big data breach and Apple highlights the Best of 2018. Here's your Daily Crunch for December 4. 1.

Freeletics raises $45M for its AI-powered mobile fitness coach The app, which offers fitness content and AI-powered training plans tailored to individual users, initially focused on Germany but has since grown in popularity across Europe and in the U.S. 6. Oath agrees to pay $5M to settle charges it violated children's privacy Our corporate overlords have agreed to pay the largest-ever penalty under the COPPA children's privacy law. 7. Will Uber gobble up Lime or fly off with Bird? Lime and Bird, which both operate fleets of electric scooters around the world, are both said to be in talks with the ride-hailing behemoth about a possible acquisition, as first reported by The Information. |
