Companies like L'Oreal, McDonald's, Audi, and HSBC have also pulled their ads.3. Facebook's Safety Check feature was activated in London after the Westminster attack. The feature asks people in the area of the incident if they are safe, and publicly marks them as such if they say they are.4. Apple has acquired an app called Workflow.
