It’s been a month since the AAP government launched the Anti-Corruption helpline. So now if you see any government official taking a bribe, just dial 1031. A

The European Internet Industry Overhaul
Europe is divided into many small countries, which impacts not only offline but
online business as well. It is because of this, the European Union is planning a probe
into all the big American Online Companies including Google, Amazon, Facebook
etc.
The Union also feels that the growth of these companies in Europe is squashing the
growth of European internet companies. Hence, they wish to add more protocols

President Barack Obama has also rebuked the union calling such measures
‘protective’.
Additionally, the EU wishes to drop barriers between countries, just like it has done
for offline businesses to thrive, so that online companies also benefit
from the same.
