Congressional report from House Democrats blasts tech giants

Available for over a year

A report by the US House of Representatives has accused the four giant American tech companies of using anti-competitive practices and abusing their monopoly power. The report says that Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google have dominated online activity. Facebook has said it is banning accounts linked to the QAnon conspiracy theory group - extending its already existing censorship of discussions by the far-right movement involving violence. The number of people impacted by seasonal flooding in East Africa has increased more than fivefold in four years, according to UN figures. Nearly six million people have been affected this year with 1.5 million of them forced from their homes.
