By Julia Love and Kristina Cooke | SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO Alphabet Inc’s Google said on Monday it is working on a policy change to prevent websites that misrepresent content from using its AdSense advertising network, a move aimed at halting the spread of “fake news” and other types of misinformation on the internet. The shift comes as Google, Facebook Inc and Twitter Inc face a backlash […]

By Hugh Bronstein | BUENOS AIRES BUENOS AIRES Donald Trump’s election as U.S. president raises concern that Washington may increase the intrusiveness of domestic intelligence gathering, former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden said on Monday, warning that democratic checks and balances were losing ground to authoritarianism. Snowden lives in Moscow under an asylum deal after he leaked classified information in 2013 that triggered an international furore […]

Pay attention to the fine print and you’ll see that some of the online messages touting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton are paid for by “Hillary for America,” while others are sponsored by the “Hillary Victory Fund.” How powerful is this two-word change? It means the difference between ads funded by donors who may legally give Clinton up to $2,700 — or by those who may give […]

By Chris Prentice | NEW YORK NEW YORK Facebook Inc chief executive Mark Zuckerberg again rejected the idea that the social network affected the U.S. presidential election, saying late Saturday it is “extremely unlikely” news hoaxes changed the outcome. Ensnared in a string of content controversies in recent months, Facebook has insisted that it is a technology company, not a media firm. But scrutiny of the site […]

By Richard Leong and Jennifer Ablan | NEW YORK NEW YORK Donald Trump’s stunning victory for the White House may mark the long-awaited end to the more than 30-year-old bull run in bonds, as bets on faster U.S. growth and inflation lead investors to favor stocks over bonds. A two-day thumping wiped out more than $1 trillion across global bond markets worldwide, the worst rout in nearly […]

The marketing tag line that accompanies Dream Catcher’s press blurb is “raggle taggle folk”. This is a fair description, but a more fitting slogan for the band – who this week make their live debut in Abu Dhabi and Dubai – might be “big in Luxembourg”. That is the home country (population: 543,000) of the band – the long-standing solo project of veteran songwriter John Rech – […]

Nearly 25 years after they first conquered the White House and captured the commanding heights of the Democratic party, the Clinton family crashed to earth on Wednesday, shattering the ambitions of Hillary Clinton and her clan of fiercely loyal operatives. But as they come to terms with their rout some Democrats see a glimmer of hope, and a badly needed chance to rebuild a party that can […]

Friday 19:30 GMT. US and European stocks gave back some of their post-US election gains, the dollar continued to rally and commodity prices were in retreat as participants looked back over a truly remarkable week for global markets. A rapid flight to safety followed the shock news that Donald Trump would be the next president of the US, with S&P 500 futures and Asian stock market indices […]

Americans are heading to the polls today in droves after weathering endless campaign ads designed to influence their votes — especially in presidential battleground states such as Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Here’s what you need to know about the advertising assault: Team Clinton aired three times more ads than Team Trump More than 500,000 broadcast and national cable TV ads have aired in the presidential […]

Democratic Governors Association spokesman Jared Leopold remained sanguine about the results. “Democrats also will likely hold all three of our incumbents: Governors Steve Bullock, Jay Inslee and Kate Brown,” he said. “Republicans initially eyed a 4-seat net gain in 2016, and it appears they will fall short.” Now, Democrats are looking ahead. Already struggling with a thin bench of political stars, Democrats said reversing their shrinking ranks […]

In most of the high-profile swing states, the story was the same. In Ohio, Team Clinton was responsible for about 75 percent of the 79,000 TV ads aired in the race since mid-June, after the primaries had ended. In North Carolina, Team Clinton was likewise responsible for about three-quarters of the 63,000 presidential race TV ads since mid-June. And in Pennsylvania, Team Clinton was responsible for nearly […]

Mass resignations follow any transfer of presidential power across party lines, but Trump’s ascension to power — built in part on his “Drain the Swamp” campaign slogan — seems certain to provoke an exodus by those who have attached themselves to the Obama administration’s big foreign policy goals. Among them: last year’s international global climate change agreement; the controversial U.N.-backed deal to obstruct Iran’s acquisition of a […]

Just like the bulk of political pundits and mainstream media commentators, opportunistic internet entrepreneurs were caught off guard by the shock result of Tuesday’s United States presidential election. The day after Donald Trump became the 45th president of the United States it was still possible to find “Don’t blame me, I voted for Trump” T-shirts and hoodies online. But the full story of the shock sustained by […]

During the long 2016 election season, now-President-elect Donald Trump spent far more time talking about immigration, terrorism and the economy than he did about information technology issues. Over the past several years, though, he has occasionally taken to Twitter to bash net neutrality as a “top-down power grab” or say during a Fox & Friends television interview that Apple should be boycotted for fighting an FBI order […]

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Crossing from Syria into Lebanon on Tuesday night proved to be a parable for the diametrically opposed ways the world sees the election of Donald J. Trump. At the passport counter, a Syrian officer’s face lit up when he saw an American traveler. “Congratulations on your new president!” he exclaimed, giving an energetic thumbs up. Mr. Trump, he said, would be “good for Syria.” […]

As of this morning, several hours after the U.S. presidential race was called for Donald Trump, some of the tech world’s leading voices had yet to weigh in on what those results could mean for Silicon Valley in particular and innovation in general. But many news outlets are saying the impacts could be disruptive in ways that the otherwise disruption-loving tech sector might not like. Meanwhile, venture […]

|By Kalyani Shankar| The US election results have surprised many who were batting for the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. This is more so in India where many Indians felt Hillary would be good for India. She is known to many Indians because she was the First Lady for eight years, US Senator for another eight years, and Secretary of State for four and all the time she had […]

By ERIC SCHMITT November 6, 2016 A joint Kurdish-Arab militia has begun a new phase in the operation to dislodge the Islamic State from its stronghold in Raqqa, Syria, moving to encircle the city and largely cut off the resupply of arms, supplies and fighters, American military officials confirmed on Sunday. Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter said on Sunday that he welcomed the start of the militia’s operation. “The […]

The Interpreter By AMANDA TAUB It is a truth universally acknowledged by every war correspondent, humanitarian aid worker and Western diplomat: Some wars, like Syria’s, receive tremendous public attention, which can translate into pressure for resolution. But many others, like Yemen’s still raging but much ignored conflict, do not. Some of the reasons are obvious; the scale of Syria’s war is catastrophic and much worse than Yemen’s. […]

Four States Sue To Stop U.S. from Ceding Internet Control Four states — Arizona, Oklahoma, Nevada, and Texas — are suing to stop the U.S. government from transferring control of the Internet to an international body on Saturday. A U.S. Department of Commerce contract with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, is set to expire Friday. ICANN, formed in 1998, manages domain names […]

By MARK LANDLER September 30, 2016 WASHINGTON — When Bill Clinton took his place on Friday at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem for the state funeral of Shimon Peres, he was part of a tangled tableau: leaders from Israel and the United States who came together to mourn a giant of peace but who nurse their own political feuds and rivalries, stretching back two decades. Standing close to the former […]
