Fallout from the use of personal data of Facebook users continues to dominate the papers on Friday, as well as possible retaliations from other EU countries to the Salisbury nerve agent attack.
The Guardian leads with a revelation that Facebook gave Cambridge University researcher and app developer Aleksandr Kogan data on 57 billion friendships.

Facebook says the shared data was "literally numbers" and "no personally identifiable information" was included.
