Good morning! This is the tech news you need to know this Friday.

1. The way Facebook transfers people's data abroad from the EU is valid, according to an adviser to Europe's top court. The opinion — which is not a ruling — centered on a tool called "standard contractual clauses" and elements of the EU-US Privacy Shield, a data-transfer pact between the two regions.
2. Business Insider found the site where Amazon is building a giant factory to make internet satellites, and it's right on Microsoft's and SpaceX's doorsteps. Sources told Business Insider the headquarters for Amazon's Project Kuiper is a two-building campus just a few miles from Microsoft's headquarters called the Redmond Commerce Center.
3. Airbnb scored a major victory as Europe's top court rules it's an online service and not a real estate agent in disguise. France's tourism association had complained that Airbnb hadn't complied with local property laws and that it should be regulated like an estate agent, potentially putting its business in the country at risk.
4. San Francisco is changing its facial recognition ban after it accidentally made the iPhones it gave to city employees illegal. The city banned city agencies from using gadgets equipped with facial recognition technology back in May, but it became apparent that government-issued iPhones came equipped with Apple's Face ID, illegal under the new law.
5. Facebook's support forum is overrun with scammers trying to defraud desperate users, and the company has ignored it for months. The issue means that some of Facebook's least technically literate and most vulnerable users risk being victimized by scammers all over again while looking for help after being hacked or suffering other issues.
6. More than 3,000 Ring users' passwords were leaked online, potentially giving hackers access to people's addresses, credit card info, and camera footage. Ring said in a statement to Business Insider that the exposure was not the result of Ring's servers being hacked.
7. Over 267 million Facebook users had their names, phone numbers, and profiles exposed thanks to a public database, according to a researcher. Bob Diachenko, a data-security researcher, traced the database back to Vietnam but could not identify exactly how the data had been accessed or what it was being used for. 
8. Instacart has quietly resumed delivering from Target this month, just two years after ending its formal partnership. The move shows Instacart's continued effort to expand selection amid intensifying competition in the on-demand delivery space.
9. Lyft thought some users' real names were offensive content. Candice Poon, Cara Dick, Mike Finger and others were ordered to get new names by December 21.
10. Facebook and Instagram are going on the offensive against misinformation around the 2020 US census with a new set of sweeping bans. The social media giant said it would ban "misleading information about when and how to participate in the census and the consequences of participating."
