NoneTrump’s plans for EV program cuts, global tariffs and more: reportBrazil's Supreme Court on Wednesday started examining four cases that turn on how far social media should be regulated, and what responsibilities platforms have in cracking down on illegal content. The judicial review comes a month after the same court forced Elon Musk's X platform to obey rulings aimed at battling online disinformation. That issue has taken on heat in recent days in Brazil, with federal police accusing far-right ex-president Jair Bolsonaro and allied officials of using social media disinformation as part of a 2022 "coup" plot against Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, then the country's president-elect. The alleged plot involved using online posts to undermine public trust in the electoral system to justify Bolsonaro holding onto the presidency after Lula defeated him at the polls. Bolsonaro says he is innocent. The Supreme Court's deliberations in the cases are not expected to be concluded until sometime next year. One key point it is looking at is whether social media platforms can be fined for illegal content posted by users. Another is whether the platforms should themselves be required to monitor and remove any illegal content without a prior court order to do so. The court's rulings will become precedents that will have to be applied generally to all social media platforms operating in Brazil. Brazil -- many of whose 216 million inhabitants are heavy users of WhatsApp and Facebook -- does not have legislation in that area. Global social media networks, however, already have to abide by laws in the EU against illegal online content, under the bloc's Digital Services Act (DSA), which could guide them in terms of Brazilian compliance. One of the Brazilian Supreme Court's judges, Alexandre de Moraes, in August ordered Musk's X be blocked across the country for failing to comply with a series of court orders against online disinformation. On October 9, the platform was allowed to resume activities after paying around $5 million in fines and deactivating the accounts of several Bolsonaro supporters accused of spreading disinformation and online hate speech. The court's presiding judge, Luis Roberto Barroso, told AFP that "digital platforms... open paths to disinformation, hate, deliberate lies and conspiracy theories." He added: "In the whole democratic world there are debates about protecting free speech without permitting everyone to fall into a pit of incivility." He pointed to the European Union's DSA as a form of regulation "that seeks a point of ideal equilibrium". Brazil, in his opinion, should carve out its own regulation "with a minimum of government intervention where it comes to freedom of thought, while preventing increased criminality and inciting violence." ffb/rmb/st

Stocks likely to move up as inflation eases KARACHI: Stocks reached the historical milestone of 100,000 points during the outgoing week, and the market is expected to keep the upward momentum amid expectations for a further decline in inflation. “We anticipate the market will sustain its positive momentum in the coming week, driven by expectations of a further decline in inflation. We project November inflation to decline to 4.7 per cent YoY,” said brokerage Arif Habib Ltd. “Furthermore, certain scrips are trading at attractive valuations, which are likely to continue enticing investor interest.” The week commenced on a negative trajectory as heightened political unrest led the market to decline by around 3,500 points. However, with the easing of political uncertainty, the market swiftly recovered the following day and ultimately surpassed the 100,000 points level. Key drivers of this recovery included expectations of further easing in inflation and a strong rally in commercial banks following the removal of minimum deposit rate (MDR). The market concluded the week at 101,357 points, marking a gain of 3,559 points (3.64 per cent week-on-week). Average volumes arrived at 979 million shares (down 1.2 per cent WoW), while the average value traded settled at $133 million (up 7.1 per cent WoW). Foreigner selling continued during this week, clocking in at $15.1 million compared to a net sell of $33 million last week. Major selling was witnessed in banks ($4.7 million) followed by fertiliser ($4.2 million). On the local front, buying was reported by insurance ($10.6 million) followed by individuals ($7.3 million). Sector-wise positive contributions came from commercial banks (1,676 points), technology & communication (349 points), oil & gas exploration companies (284 points), oil & gas marketing companies (260 points) and cement (234 points). Scrip-wise positive contributors were HBL (694 points), BAHL (538 points), PPL (274 points), SYS (255 points), and BAFL (205 points). The sectors that mainly contributed negatively were miscellaneous (52 points), automobile assembler (11 points), and automobile parts and accessories (5 points). Scrip-wise negative contributions came from MEBL (439 points), EFERT (78 points), FABL (57 points), PSEL (56 points), and SAZEW (34 points). Analyst Abdul Basit at JS Research said bullish momentum continued to prevail, with the KSE-100 reaching its historical milestone of 100k levels during the week. He said the week began with an uncertain political environment amid protests, which led to significant selling in the market. However, the decline was limited, followed by a strong recovery after the protest was called off. Developments in the banking sector regarding changes in the minimum deposit rate kept activity, in the sector, high throughout the week. In the recent T-bill auction, the government raised Rs616 billion against a target of Rs800 billion, with yields decreasing by 61-85bps across different tenors. Similarly, the six-month Kibor dropped by 96bps WoW to 12.67 per cent, reaching its lowest level in over 2.5 years. Moreover, auto financing continued to recover for the second consecutive month (3.7 per cent MoM), reaching Rs236 billion in Oct-2024. As per the latest data, SBP reserves increased by $131 million WoW to $11.4 billion. Additionally, Pakistan received $500 million from the ADB under its climate financing programme, which will be reflected in the upcoming week. The PKR marginally depreciated by 0.10 per cent WoW, concluding the week at 278.04 against the greenback. Nabeel Haroon, an analyst at Topline Securities, said the KSE-100 index increased by 3.64 per cent on a WoW basis; this gain was largely led by the heavyweight banking sector on development on the MDR front, where the sector rallied after the SBP removed the MDR requirement for all conventional banks on deposits from financial institutions, public sector enterprises and public limited companies.It’s official: Dodgers sign Blake Snell for 5 years, $182 million
Home for the holidays? Show relatives you care with some tech supportIran protests US arrest of nationals over technology export TEHRAN: Tehran has formally protested the arrests of two Iranians in Italy and the United States accused of transferring sensitive US technology to Iran, local media reported. US prosecutors on Monday charged Mahdi Mohammad Sadeghi and Mohammad Abedininajafabadi with “conspiring to export sophisticated electronic components from the United States to Iran in violation of US export control and sanctions laws”, according to a statement from the US Department of Justice. The statement added that the illegally exported technology was used in a January drone attack that killed three US servicemen in Jordan. Iran denied any involvement in the attack, dismissing the claims as “baseless accusations.” “We consider both the cruel and unilateral US sanctions against Iran and these arrests to be contrary to all international laws and standards,” foreign ministry official Vahid Jalalzadeh told the Tasnim news agency late on Saturday. Jalalzadeh said the ministry had “invited” the Italian charg© d ́affaires and the Swiss ambassador to Tehran -- who represents US interests there -- to “declare its protests to the arrests”. Abedininajafabadi, 38, was arrested on Monday in Italy by Italian authorities at the request of the United States, the US Department of Justice said. It identified Sadeghi as a 42-year-old dual US-Iranian national who was arrested in the United States.
