Tech giants Google and Facebook have dropped plans for an undersea cable between the US and Hong Kong after Trump administration said Beijing might use the link to collect information on Americans. But the companies quickly submitted a revised proposal that includes links to Taiwan and the Philippines. The new filing didn't include Hong Kong-based Pacific Light Data Communication Company, a partner in the original plan.
