• 1) Intensifies Censorship Campaign, Pressuring Tech Giants
  Google, Apple and others were warned that they must comply with a new law, which would make them more vulnerable to the Kremlin’s censorship demands. As Russia attacks Ukraine, the authorities in Moscow are intensifying a censorship campaign at home by squeezing some of the world’s biggest tech companies.
  Last week, Russian authorities warned Google, Meta, Apple, Twitter, TikTok and others that they had until the end of this month to comply with a new law that requires them to set up legal entities in the country. The so-called landing law makes the companies and their employees more vulnerable to Russia’s legal system and the demands of government censors, legal experts and civil society groups said.
  The moves are part of a Russian pressure campaign against foreign technology companies. Using the prospect of fines, arrests and the blocking or slowing down of internet services, the authorities are pushing the companies to censor unfavorable material online while keeping pro-Kremlin media unfiltered. ¹

In a statement, the spokesperson for the panel said Guilfoyle “has information of interest to the select committee and has provided documents germane to our investigation.” It added that her refusal to answer questions would be “forcing the select committee to compel her testimony at an upcoming deposition.”

  5) The Five-Day Workweek Is Dying
  And the implications for work and cities are going to be fascinating.
  By Derek Thompson. America is slowly returning to normal. Stadiums are packed. Travel has bounced back. Restaurant reservations are surging. What once seemed like a hot take is becoming a stone-cold reality: For tens of millions of knowledge-economy workers, the office is never coming all the way back. The implications—for work, cities, and the geography of labor—will be fascinating. “The number of person-days in the office is never going back to pre-pandemic average, ever,” (Nick) Bloom told me. After two years of working from home, he said, employees don’t just prefer it. They also feel like they’re getting better at it. Despite widespread reports of burnout, self-reported productivity has increased steadily in the past year, according to his research. ⁵

  1) Intensifica la campaña de censura, presionando a los gigantes tecnológicos
  Se advirtió a Google, Apple y otros que deben cumplir con una nueva ley, lo que los haría más vulnerables a las demandas de censura del Kremlin. Mientras Rusia ataca a Ucrania, las autoridades de Moscú están intensificando una campaña de censura interna al exprimir a algunas de las empresas tecnológicas más grandes del mundo.
  La semana pasada, las autoridades rusas advirtieron a Google, Meta, Apple, Twitter, TikTok y otros que tenían hasta fines de este mes para cumplir con una nueva ley que les exige establecer entidades legales en el país. La llamada ley de aterrizaje hace que las empresas y sus empleados sean más vulnerables al sistema legal de Rusia y las demandas de los censores del gobierno, expertos legales y grupos de la sociedad civil, dijeron.
  Los movimientos son parte de una campaña de presión rusa contra las empresas tecnológicas extranjeras. Aprovechando la perspectiva de multas, arrestos y el bloqueo o la ralentización de los servicios de Internet, las autoridades están presionando a las empresas para que censuren el material desfavorable en línea y mantengan sin filtrar a los medios pro-Kremlin.¹
