Amazon has been suffering a decline in its share price, over 50 billion USD less in market cap value.
This seems to have been triggered by a variety of factors including Trump’s more direct criticism of Amazon’s stronghold on retail, and the overall drop in market cap values of big tech companies, known as the FAANG club – Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Alphabet’s Google.
Despite this, we expect Amazon will continue to remain at the front of ...

Last week showed how much more work we need to do to enforce our policies and help people understand how Facebook works and the choices they have over their data.

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are a franchise cricket team representing the city of Kolkata (West Bengal) in the Indian Premier League. The team, defined by its ‘Karbo, lorbo, jeetbo’ (Play, Fight, Win) spirit has won the championship trophy twice.

More so, when rampant pornography defines what a lesbian relationship stands for. Which is why, it is hardly surprising what a Google image search for ‘lesbian’ shows up – smooching, petting, kissing… you get the picture. And it’s even worse on Twitter.
