Opposition trying to divide India: BJP on toilet row

IndiaTimes Sunday, 24 December 2023
The ‘toilet controversy’ originated from a viral video that shows DMK’s Dayanidhi Maran underscoring the importance of English education. He purportedly stated that people proficient in English secured respectable jobs in the IT sector, unlike those from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh who only knew Hindi and migrated to states like Tamil Nadu for menial work. A video clip shows him citing the example of Sundar Pichai, a native of Tamil Nadu, suggesting that had the Google CEO learned Hindi, he would have been employed as a construction worker.

Google to Settle Lawsuit by Destroying Billions of Private Browsing Records [Video]

Google to Settle Lawsuit by Destroying Billions of Private Browsing Records

Google to Settle Lawsuit by , Destroying Billions of Private Browsing Records. In 2020, Google was sued by numerous users who claimed that the tech giant secretly tracked their internet use despite browsing in Chrome's incognito mode. The plaintiffs claim that this allowed Google to be an "unaccountable trove of information," 'The Guardian' reports. To settle the lawsuit, Google has agreed to destroy billions of private records. The company will also update its "private" browsing disclosures. . Additionally, incognito users will be able to "block third-party cookies for five years," 'The Guardian' reports. The result is that Google will collect less data from users’ private browsing sessions, and that Google will make less money from the data, Plaintiffs' lawyer, via 'The Guardian'. While Google supports the settlement, it does not agree with the "legal and factual characterizations" put forth by the plaintiffs. We are limited in how strongly we can market Incognito because it’s not truly private, thus requiring really fuzzy, hedging language that is almost more damaging. , Google’s chief marketing officer, Lorraine Twohill, wrote to the CEO, Sundar Pichai, in 2019, via 'The Guardian'. A lawyer for the plaintiffs called the agreement "a historic step in requiring honesty and accountability from dominant technology companies.". While plaintiffs will not receive damages as part of this settlement, they could still sue individually to be monetarily compensated.

Google Fires Employees , for Protesting Israel Contract. 28 Google workers have been fired for protesting a $1.2 billion contract that the company has with the Israeli government and military to provide cloud and AI services, NBC News reports. . The firings follow an April 16 sit-in at Google's offices in California, New York and Seattle in which nine workers were arrested. The group that coordinated the demonstration is known as No Tech for Apartheid. . Google issued a statement about the recent firings. A small number of employee protesters entered and disrupted a few of our locations. , Google spokesperson, via statement.

We have so far concluded individual investigations that resulted in the termination of employment for 28 employees, and will continue to investigate and take action as needed, Google spokesperson, via statement.
