Cyberculture agenda: Apple told to pay €13bn in back taxes to Ireland AND Deputy PM invites Apple to move int’l operations to Turkey (!)
Ireland offered Apple huge tax breaks, but didn’t give other companies the same deal. The European Commission concluded this was illegal and the companymust pay up the €13bn it would otherwise have owed in taxes.
Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Şimşek has sent Apple an open invitation via Twitter to move its international operations to Turkey, in the wake of a European Union ruling ordering Ireland to collect a record amount in back taxes from the company
In our previous piece about a leaked European impact assessment on copyright, we described how the foreshadowed changes to European copyright law would place onerous new responsibilities on Internet platforms to scan your uploaded content on behalf of large entertainment companies. We also described how the changes would give news publishers a new, copyright-like veto power over the publications of snippets of text from news stories, even if these are merely by way of linking to the publisher’s website.
Facebook isn’t a great place to get your news. Yet millions of Americans use the social network to learn about what’s going on in the world every day.
Gen Z hasn’t really entered the workforce yet, but they might give it a boost when they do.
WhatsApp’s plans to share user information—including phone numbers, contact lists, and usage data—with parent company Facebook threaten users’ privacy and control over their data. We describe details of this data sharing arrangement and the new privacy policy that makes it possible in a previous blog post.
WhatsApp is establishing data-sharing practices that signal a significant shift in its attitude toward privacy—though you wouldn’t know it from the privacy policy update that popped up on users’ screens last week. The new policy lays the groundwork for alarming data sharing between WhatsApp and its parent company Facebook. The update screen that users see, however, mentions only benign new features like WhatsApp calling, and requires a user to click a “Read more” link to see any mention of how the data sharing arrangement will work for users. Where WhatsApp could have offered users up-front information and choices, the UI as it stands buries critical details and options. If WhatsApp wants to merge user data with Facebook, it should give users opportunities to make choices about their privacy—starting with a clearer, more informative UI.

When faced with the dilemma, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates both opted to drop out of college to pursue other passions – the former to work on Apple and the latter on Microsoft. Since then, this snippet of history has become a parable for success across the globe and probably the most cited example that you don’t need a college degree to achieve greatness. Similarly to Jobs and Gates, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak didn’t finish his degree either – not the first time at least.

Cengiz Aktar: Nankör millî irade
Nankör millî irade
İktidar, kalemleri ve sözcülerinin 7 Haziran sıkıntısı 1 Kasım’dan sonra da bitmeyecek gibi. Bugünleri dahî arayacağımız günler bizi bekliyor. Seçime daha iki ay var ve iktidarın gözü tamamen kararmış halde. Vicdanın, terbiyenin, mantığın yerlerde süründüğü, siyasî kelâmın bu kadar anlamsızlaştığı bir dönem hatırlamıyorum. Darbe dönemindeki ceberut paşaların dahî, faşist ama kendi çapında tutarlı bir siyaseti vardı. Daha neler işiteceğiz kim bilir. Bu iptidaîlik yarışında, bu sefil siyasette en hoşuma giden o kasaba siyasetçisi AKP’lilerin ve akıldanelerinin bütün siyasî iddialarını bina ettikleri temelleri kendilerinin yerle bir ediyor olması. Üç temelin ilki millî irade ile millî iradenin temsili, diğeri sandık demokrasisi, üçüncüsü mütedeyyin halkın sağduyusu. AKP yıllardır önceki dönemleri hedef alan intikamcı söylemini aşırı bir özgüven sayesinde millî iradeyi temsil, sandığın hükmü ve çoğunluğun sağduyusu temelleri üzerine bina etti. 7 Haziran’da bu temeller yerlerinden oynayınca şaşıp kaldılar ve temelleri sorgulamaya başladılar. Ama o temeller dışında AKP’nin bir anlam ifade etmediğini fark edemediler.
Bakalım millî irade ve temsiline. İddianın mesneti AKP’nin aldığı oydu. Çoğunluğu temsil eden ve devletin bütün iplerini elinde tutan AKP için geriye kalanlar gayrımillî idi artık. Siyasî hedefleri de, tıpkı Gayrımüslimlere ihtida dayatmasında olduğu gibi, “bir gün herkes AKP’li olacak” idi. 7 Haziran’da bu irade ve temsiliyet bitti. Esasen hiçbir zaman %50 üzerinde mutlak çoğunluğa sahip olmasa da meclisteki çoğunluk kaybedilince elde mesnet olarak bir tek cumhurbaşkanlığı seçiminde hâliyle %50 üstü olan oy kaldı. Zaten bu sayede Erdoğan, gelmiş geçmiş bütün otokratlar gibi dönüp dolaşıp millî iradenin kendisinden ibaret olduğunu söyleyen aşamaya geldi. Bu aralar ne zaman ağzını açsa “beni millî irade seçti” diyor. Hatta millî iradeyi kendisinden başka kimsenin temsil edemeyeceğini iddia etme aşamasının kıyısında. Bu, AKP çoğunluğu alamayacağı için 1 Kasım sonrasında ya da seçim iptal olursa öncesinde ayyuka çıkacaktır. Yalnız şu var ki bu millî irade siyasetin sıfır noktasıdır.
Diğer temel sandığın hükmü. Bıktırasıya “sıkıysa sandıkta karşımıza gelin” ayarlarını dinleye dinleye 7 Haziran’a gelindi. Sonuç kat’iyen beklendiği gibi olmadı. Sandıktan arzu edilen sonuç çıkmayınca da mızmızlanmaya başladılar. Zaten %10 barajına asılmalarından belliydi. En ilginci de KKTC’de cumhurbaşkanlığı seçimini kazanmış olan Akıncı’ya Erdoğan’ın verdiği ayar ve Akıncı’nın soğukkanlılıkla “ben seçim kazandım” cevabıydı. Hâsılı kelam muktedirin 7 Haziran seçim sonucunu beğenmeyeceği açıktı. Bugün de AKP Meclis’te çoğunluğu elde edene dek seçim yaptırma absürtlüğüne gitmesi mümkün. Yalnız şu var ki, bu kafayla gidilirse sonuç, sandığın külliyen iptali olur. Nitekim Anayasa 78.madde uyarınca savaş durumunda seçim iptali mümkün, eh AKP de içsavaşı başlattı zaten…
Üçüncüsü mütedeyyin halkın sağduyusu. CHP’li Onur Öymen’in 22 Temmuz 2011 seçimi sonrası söylediklerini hatırlayın: “Eğer siz sıkıntı, açlık çekmenize rağmen hayatınızdan hiç memnun olmamanıza rağmen, sabahtan akşama kadar her gün hükümeti eleştirmenize rağmen gidip de hükümet partisine oy veriyorsanız, bu işte mantıkla açıklanmayacak bir şey var demektir. (…) AKP’nin seçimi kazanması mantıkla izah edilemez. Bunda rasyonel olmayan sebepler aramak gerekir.”
HDP’nin barajı geçmesini sağlayan etkenlerden biri kuşkusuz önceki seçimlerde AKP’ye oy veren dindar Kürt seçmenin HDP’ye yönelmesiydi. AKP bunu tıpkı Onur Öymen’in ifadesinde görüldüğü gibi Kemalistlerin “yanılan, şaşıran, tuzağa düşen seçmenin irrasyonel tavrı” gibi okumayı tercih etti. Yenilenecek seçimde seçmenin doğruyu bulmasını sağlamak üzere memleketi felâkete sürükleyen adımları atmaktan dahî kaçınmaması bundan. Yalnız şu var ki tıpkı halefi Kemalistler gibi “halka güven olmaz” diyen AKP’nin sonu da Kemalistler gibi olacak.

The Austrian police on Thursday discovered the bodies of more than 70 refugees in a truck abandoned on the hard shoulder of a motorway. Minister of the Interior Johanna Mikl-Leitner has said asylum seekers with a chance of being allowed to stay should be permitted to enter the EU legally. Such a move would deprive traffickers of their means of sustenance, commentators write in approval, and urge people to try and see things from the refugees’ perspective.
Trains carrying more than 1,000 migrants arrive in Germany, as Hungary closes a major rail station in an attempt to bring the crisis under control.
Greece’s coastguard has rescued about 2,500 migrants and refugees off the country’s eastern islands over the past three days, authorities said yesterday (31 August), as the flow of people trying to cross into Europe continued unabated.
Authorities closed the main international railway station in Budapest after around 500 migrants tried to board a train to Vienna.
Angela Merkel says the EU needs a “unified European migration policy”, and that refugees should be fairly divided.
Hundreds of migrants protest outside a major railway station in Budapest after police seal off the terminal to stop them travelling through the EU.
EXCLUSIVE: European Union officials used their work email addresses to register with online adultery site Ashley Madison, EurActiv can reveal.
Angela Merkel visited a refugee shelter in Heidenau on Wednesday, the first time she has made a such a visit. While there she condemned violence against those seeking asylum as “repulsive and a source of shame”. Shortly before the visit Berlin had suspended the Dublin agreement for Syrians, which means they will no longer be returned to the EU country in which they arrived. The German Chancellor has taken the lead in Europe’s refugee policy, some commentators write approvingly. Others wish that appreciation of politicians would extend beyond their commitment to refugees.
With the migrants trying to cross Hungary’s border to get into Europe
Facebook has reacted to criticism over its tolerance of hate speech on its site. The American social network giant has said it is interested in an “exchange” with Heiko Maas. EurActiv Germany reports.
Greece’s new caretaker government has been sworn in and snap elections confirmed for 20 September.
Siemens, Daimler, and Rheinmetall have been mired in cases of alleged corruption in Greece, the country that Berlin has repeatedly admonished for the parlous state of its economy.
Officials in Austria have said on Friday that 71 bodies were found in the back of a truck near the Hungarian border on Thursday, three people have been arrested. Initial reports had put the death toll at 20.
Should the pro-independence parties win a majority in the regional elections on 27 September, what would happen next? Here are a few scenarios on how the independists may use their popular mandate to secede from Spain.
