Last week, workers held sit-in protests at Google's offices in both New York and Sunnyvale, California.

The protests were organized by the group No Tech For Apartheid, who said that 30 workers were fired following the initial sit-in.

.

According to Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, Google has now fired "over 20" more workers, “including non-participating bystanders during last week’s protests.”.

Google’s aims are clear: the corporation is attempting to quash dissent, silence its workers, and reassert its power over them, Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, via 'The Independent'.

In its attempts to do so, Google has decided to unceremoniously, and without due process, upend the livelihoods of over 50 of its own workers, Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, via 'The Independent'.

Google has disputed the group's claims, stressing that the company carefully found that, “every single one of those whose employment was terminated was personally and definitively involved in disruptive activity inside our buildings.”

Angry Mexico to Sue Google Over Renaming of ‘Gulf of Mexico’ to ‘Gulf of America’ Post Trump’s Order

Mexico to Sue Google. In a recent development, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has expressed strong opposition to Google's decision to rename the "Gulf of Mexico" as the "Gulf of America" on its Maps platform for U.S. users. This change aligns with an executive order issued by U.S. President Donald Trump, which also included reverting Denali's name back to Mount McKinley. President Sheinbaum criticized the renaming, emphasizing that the "Gulf of Mexico" has long been internationally recognized. She highlighted that under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, a country's sovereignty extends only up to 12 nautical miles from its coastline, implying that the U.S. cannot unilaterally rename the entire Gulf. Sheinbaum warned that Mexico might file a civil suit if Google does not revert to the original name, noting that legal preparations are underway #MexicoVsGoogle #GulfOfMexico #GoogleMapsControversy #MexicoSuesGoogle #GulfOfAmerica #TrumpExecutiveOrder #GoogleLawsuit #MexicoGoogleConflict #GoogleRenamingScandal #SheinbaumVsGoogle #USMexicoTensions #GeopoliticalDispute #GoogleMapsRename #MexicoDefendsSovereignty #DigitalCartography Also Read Here's Why Donald Trump Imposed Tariffs On Canada, Mexico, China As Trade War Escalates :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/heres-why-donald-trump-imposed-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-china-as-trade-war-escalates-4060153.html?ref=DMDesc Mexico Hits Back At US Tariffs: President Sheinbaum Rejects ‘White House Slander’, Imposes Retaliatory Measure :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mexico-hits-back-at-us-tariffs-president-sheinbaum-rejects-white-house-slander-imposes-retaliato-4060065.html?ref=DMDesc Mexico and European Union Revamp Trade Agreement Ahead of Trump's Inauguration to Counter Tariff Threats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mexico-eu-revamp-trade-agreement-before-trump-inauguration-011-4045545.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.194~PR.152~GR.124~

China Strikes Back: Imposes 15-25% Tariffs on US Imports in Retaliation Against Trump’s Trade War

China has announced tariffs ranging from 15% to 25% on US imports, including coal, LNG, and crude oil, in response to Donald Trump’s trade measures. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce condemned the US's unilateral tariff hike, calling it a violation of WTO rules. Meanwhile, China’s market regulators have launched an antitrust investigation into Google, adding further tension. As Trump's 10% tariff takes effect, Beijing warns of additional countermeasures, emphasizing that no one wins in a trade war.

75,000 Worshippers Gather at Al-Aqsa for Ramadan's Final Friday Prayers Amid Israeli Restrictions

Around 75,000 Muslim worshippers gathered at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem for the final Friday prayers of Ramadan. Despite facing strict Israeli restrictions and reported harassment, Palestinians participated in the prayers at the sacred site. The number of worshippers this year was notably lower due to increased security measures. Al-Aqsa Mosque, a significant religious site for Muslims, remains a focal point of tensions, with ongoing restrictions on Palestinian access further intensifying regional grievances. #AlAqsa #Jerusalem #Ramadan #Palestine #Israel #Prayers #OccupiedJerusalem #FinalFriday #MuslimUnity #ReligiousFreedom #IsraeliRestrictions #MiddleEast #AlAqsaMosque #PrayerGathering #Peace #FreedomOfReligion #PalestinianRights #HolySite #Conflict #BreakingNews ~HT.336~GR.124~
