Big Tech gears up for Digital Markets Act

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:18:26 GMT

Big Tech companies are bracing for the European Union to class them as gatekeepers under the bloc’s new digital rulebook Wednesday.Two people working for tech companies involved in the Digital Markets Act (DMA) rulemaking told POLITICO that policymakers went quiet over the summer after seven companies notified their own services as potential gatekeepers. One person said the European Commission had taken a “hands-off” approach, while another said there has been little to no interaction with officials in the last two weeks, even as the Commission’s designation deadline loomed.The DMA is designed to compel dominant tech companies to make it easier and cheaper for businesses to compete on their platforms; compliance is required from March 2024. As part of the process, several groups will be designated as “gatekeepers” in a bid to “finally rein in their market power,” Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton said Tuesday at a Digital Summit in Tallinn.Major names in ...

Spanish election: Catalan separatists demand amnesty as the price for backing Sánchez

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:18:26 GMT

BRUSSELS — Separatist leader Carles Puigdemont on Monday laid down his conditions for supporting Pedro Sánchez’ bid to stay on as Spain’s prime minister: an amnesty to those involved in the 2017 illegal Catalan independence referendum.Speaking to supporters in Brussels, where he has lived in self-imposed exile since fleeing Spain six years ago, the former president of the Catalonia region declared that “the end of the persecution of the independence movement is a matter of dignity.”Puigdemont urged Sánchez, who is currently Spain’s caretaker leader, to order the country’s prosecutors to suspend their cases against those involved in the movement. Although he did not explicitly demand Sánchez let him hold a second independence referendum, Puigdemont said that talks would hinge on “recognition and respect for the democratic legitimacy of the independence movement.” “Self-determination is the recognition of the Catalan nation,”...

Summer In Session

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:18:26 GMT

Back to school, back to work, and… back to some more summer weather. High temps yesterday ran close to 80 at the coast and near 90 inland. Today, it’ll be about the same, just even a couple degrees warmer. That’ll put temps 80-85 at the coast and 89-92 inland. There is a heat advisory in place for southern NH, away from the coast, and back into the CT river valley. That’s where the heat index will run 95-99 the next couple of afternoons. No school, no work for you today? You have a nice beach day ahead, just watch out for a few rip currents out there. Waves run 3-5 feet as well. The heat peaks for many of us Thursday with highs 90-94. That’s when Boston will have the best chance of hitting 90 since the sea breeze likely keeps it below 90 today and tomorrow. The best chance of nearing records will be inland too over the next few days. Worcester will be very close to tying the record today and Thursday. Boston’s record on Thursday to beat is 102 set...

Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio faces sentencing in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:18:26 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio will be sentenced on Tuesday for a plot to attack the U.S. Capitol in a failed bid to stop the transfer of presidential power after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Tarrio will be the final Proud Boys leader convicted of seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack to receive his punishment. Three fellow Proud Boys found guilty by a Washington jury of the rarely used sedition charge were sentenced last week to prison terms ranging from 15 to 18 years. The Justice Department wants the 39-year-old Tarrio to spend more than three decades in prison, describing him as the ringleader of a plot to use violence to shatter the cornerstone of American democracy and overturn the election victory by Joe Biden, a Democrat, over Trump, the Republican incumbent. Tarrio wasn’t in Washington on Jan. 6 — he was arrested two days earlier in a separate case — but prosecutors say he helped put in motion and encourage the ...

UN food agency drops aid to another 2 million hungry people in Afghanistan due to cash shortfall

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:18:26 GMT

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The U.N. food agency said Tuesday it must drop another 2 million hungry people from food assistance in Afghanistan this month due to a massive funding shortfall.The action means that 10 million people will be cut off from the agency’s support this year in the country, the World Food Programme said in a statement. The new cuts mean the agency will be able to provide food assistance to about a fifth of the 15 million people who need it in Afghanistan, the agency said. “Amid already worrying levels of hunger and malnutrition, we are obliged to choose between the hungry and the starving, leaving millions of families scrambling for their next meal,” said Hsiao-Wei Lee, WFP’s director in Afghanistan. “With the few resources we have left, we are not able to serve all those people teetering on the edge of utter destitution.” The Taliban promised a more moderate rule than during their previous period in power in the 1990s. But they have imposed harsh measures since sei...
