To Censor or Not to Censor: Facebook Seeks Entry to Chinese Market
Facebook is seeking entry into China’s digital market — which will require compliance with dictates from China’s ruling Communist Party, as Google is doing in a censored search project with China — according to a Wednesday-published Bloomberg report. Facebook “is seeking to enter” the Chinese market, reported Bloomberg. But if it chooses to do business in China, it will have to fall in line with the communist government’s tight rules and Internet censorship.According to Bloomberg, Chinese state authorities have directed Facebook to censor the official page of the pro-independence National Party; a political party seeking Hong Kong’s separation from China into autonomous statehood. Facebook declined to state how it would respond to the demand for its deployment of political censorship. Hong Kong describes the National Party and its communications as a risk to national security. Weeks ago, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg said her company … [Read more...] about To Censor or Not to Censor: Facebook Seeks Entry to Chinese Market

Facebook plunge puts Amazon investors on guard
By Saqib Iqbal Ahmed and Noel Randewich NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A plunge in Facebook Inc shares rattled the Amazon.com Inc options market on Thursday, with the social network's fellow FAANG company due to report quarterly results later in the day. Facebook on Wednesday warned about a margin hit as revenue growth slows and user privacy costs climb, and its 20 percent share drop heightened focus on the online retailer, already a closely watched stock. Amazon was the second-biggest decliner in the so-called FAANG group of high-flying tech companies, but Facebook's second-quarter earnings also cast a pall on shares of Apple Inc, Netflix Inc and Google parent Alphabet Inc. The Nasdaq was down nearly 1 percent at midday, even while the Dow Jones Industrial Average traded up 0.5 percent. Amazon shares fell nearly 3 percent to $1,811.66, while shares of Netflix, Alphabet and Apple were flat. "Those investors who were tempted to hold Amazon through earnings saw Facebook and decided … [Read more...] about Facebook plunge puts Amazon investors on guard
‘Han Solo’ star Alden Ehrenreich signed on for three ‘Star Wars’ movies
Alden Ehrenreich is sticking around. The 28-year-old actor accidentally let slip to Esquire that he signed on for not one but three standalone “Star Wars” movies. Ehrenreich is set to play the younger version of Harrison Ford’s character in the movie, which has already seen significant turmoil. In June, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller abruptly left the project. “Unfortunately, our vision and process weren't aligned with our partners on this project. We normally aren't fans of the phrase 'creative differences' but for once this cliché is true,” they said in a statement. “We are really proud of the amazing and world-class work of our cast and crew.” Ron Howard stepped in to replace them just days later. “I'm beyond grateful to add my voice to the Star Wars Universe after being a fan since 5/25/77,” he tweeted at the time. “I hope to honor the great work already done & help deliver on the promise of a Han Solo … [Read more...] about ‘Han Solo’ star Alden Ehrenreich signed on for three ‘Star Wars’ movies
