By Elizabeth Culliford (Reuters) - Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB)'s oversight board on Wednesday upheld the company's suspension of former U.S. President Donald Trump but said the indefinite suspension was wrong, in a much-awaited verdict that may signal how the company will treat rule-breaking world leaders in the future. The Board said Facebook should determine a "proportionate response" that is consistent with rules applied to other users of the platform, and that Facebook must complete its review within six months. Facebook indefinitely blocked Trump's access to his Facebook and Instagram accounts over concerns of further violent...

Germany to hike 2030 CO2 emissions reduction target to 65% By Reuters

Автор admin

рубрика: News

BERLIN (Reuters) -Germany is planning more ambitious carbon emission reduction targets, aiming for a cut of 65% by 2030 and 88% by 2040, Finance Minister Olaf Scholz said on Wednesday.

"The prospects for CAI's ratification will depend on how the situation evolves," the Commission said. That came after EU...

рубрика: News

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission proposed rules on Wednesday to restrain companies benefiting from foreign subsidies to buy EU businesses or take part in public tenders, with a particular eye on China. The European Commission's plan underscores a more protectionist line prompted by a recent surge of EU takeovers by foreign companies and fears of a post-virus buying spree of EU firms whose share prices have declined during the pandemic. The Commission would trigger investigations if it identifies possible distortive foreign subsidies in takeovers of EU companies worth 500 million euros ($600.4 million) or...
