Turkey's independent media on alert over stance of tech giants

As Turkey slipped further down in the latest Press Freedom Index, the country's besieged opposition and independent media are voicing concerns that some of the tech giants are increasingly complicit in government efforts to silence them. While protests continue over the jailing of the Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, his account on social media platform X has been cancelled.X, formerly Twitter, claims it was in response to a Turkish court order. Dozens of Imamoglu supporters have also had their accounts suspended, drawing widespread condemnation.The controversy is stoking broader concerns over the stance of the world's tech giants towards Turkey."These international tech companies find it well to keep good relations with the Turkish authorities because their only evaluation is not just on the side of democratic standards," said Erol Onderoglu of the Paris-based Reporters without Borders."But there is another challenge which is based on financial profit. The country's advertising market is very vibrant regarding social media participation," he added.Google is also facing criticism. The US tech giant was recently accused of changing its algorithms, resulting in a collapse in people accessing the websites of Turkey's independent media and therefore depriving the companies of vital advertising revenue.Turkish radio ban is latest attack on press freedom, warn activistsFewer alternative voicesUntil now, the internet has provided a platform for alternative voices to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who controls around 90 percent of the mainstream media."Google has a very big effect when you search the web for news, the most visible ones are always from pro-government media or state media. But the omission of independent media from results is just a mystery right now," said Volga Kuscuoglu editor of Bianet English edition.Turkey's independent media is battling arrests and fines by the Turkish authorities. Reporters Without Borders' latest index on press freedom saw Turkey slip further down the rankings to 159 out of 180 countries.Koscuoglu fears the government is seeking to extend its control over the media to the internet."We don't know whether there was any political pressure as no reports have been made about that," said Koscuoglu. "But the government has passed several laws in recent years and those were aimed to bring large social media under control in Turkey."You wouldn't expect Google to be excluded from this control; so yes, there could be political influence on that decision."How Turkish voters are beating internet press clampdown before pollsThreat to reduce bandwidthDuvar, one of Turkey's largest and most prominent independent news portals, closed its doors in March, citing a loss of revenue following the collapse in internet hits, which it blamed on Google's change to algorithms.Google was approached to comment on the accusations but did not reply.However, a spokesperson speaking anonymously to Reuters news agency said that any algorithm changes were simply aimed at enhancing the search facility.Internet experts believe the Turkish government has controlled the world's tech giants by making them liable to Turkish law."The government, in addition to warnings, financial penalties and an advertisement ban, was going to impose a bandwidth restriction," said Yaman Akdeniz, a co-founder of Turkey's Freedom of Expression Association."The government was going to throttle the social media platforms that didn't comply...up to 50 percent of their bandwidth access was going to be reduced, and that was going up to 90 percent of their bandwidth being restricted from Turkey."Social media providers didn't want to risk that," he concluded.Press freedom concerns as Ankara forces internet giants to bow to Turkish law'Extinction of pluralism'With some of Turkey's independent media organisations claiming their web activity has dropped by as much as 90 percent in the past few months, many are struggling to survive and are laying off journalists.The experience of Turkey could well be the canary in the mine.Onderoglu of Reporters Without Borders claims the plurality of the media is at stake."Extinction of pluralism within the media, which means that you'll have just one echo from a country which is the official line, is extremely dangerous," he warned."This is the main concern not only in Turkey but in dozens of countries around the world," he added."Journalists are trying to make viable another view within society, another approach from the official one."Questions over Google's power as effective gatekeeper to the internet and what critics claim is the lack of transparency over the search engine's algorithms are likely to grow.Meanwhile, the algorithm changes leave Turkey's besieged independent media, already battling arrests and fines, fighting for financial survival.

U.S. Economy Adds Jobs, Yet IT Sector Shrinks; Tariffs Challenge Tech Giants' Financial Outlook

The U.S. job market shows resilience with the addition of 177,000 payrolls in April, despite a slight decline in IT roles as tech professionals exit the field. The unemployment rate remains low at 4.2 percent, but the IT sector has seen significant job losses, with over 10,600 positions cut in April alone. This trend is attributed to a cautious hiring environment influenced by increasing automation and economic policies, leading many IT professionals to leave the sector altogether. While demand for artificial intelligence roles is surging, the overall tech job market is struggling, raising concerns about the long-term implications of ongoing trade tensions and tariff impacts.Major companies like General Motors and Delta Airlines have withdrawn their financial forecasts, signaling potential freezes in capital and operational spending, including IT initiatives. This shift in economic sentiment is prompting clients to focus on resilience and efficiency, leading IT service providers to rethink their offerings. Instead of traditional services, there is a growing need for solutions that address risk management and operational impacts. IT services firms are encouraged to deepen their understanding of client businesses and tailor their services accordingly to become trusted partners.Earnings reports from tech giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta indicate a continued investment in data centers and AI infrastructure, despite rising costs due to tariffs. Microsoft reported a significant increase in capital expenditure and cloud revenue, while Google Cloud also experienced substantial growth. However, companies like IBM and Intel are facing challenges, with declining stock prices and weak forecasts. The overall landscape suggests that while hyperscalers are investing heavily, the economic conditions are creating a complex environment for IT service providers.The Global Technology Industry Association has appointed Dan Wensley as its new CEO, a move seen as strategic for the organization as it seeks to innovate and expand its service offerings. Wensley's extensive experience in the managed services space positions him well to address the needs of IT service providers. However, there are concerns that the association must avoid becoming merely a platform for vendor messaging and instead focus on delivering unique value to the industry. The challenges ahead will require tangible wins to build trust and relevance among smaller and mid-sized IT service firms. Four things to know today 00:00 U.S. Adds Jobs in April, But IT Sector Shrinks as Tariff Pressure and Automation Reshape Hiring05:16 Big Tech Earnings Show AI Spend Is Surging—But Tariffs and Cost Pressures Loom10:20 Tariffs Reshape Tech Landscape: Cloud Thrives While SMBs and Traditional IT Struggle13:13 New GTIA CEO Dan Wensley Has a Big Job: Make It Matter  Supported by: https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Tech companies are looking to the land of 10,000 lakes as a suitable environment to expand their data footprint.About 10 tech giants, such as Microsoft and Meta, are vying to build data centers in Minnesota to support their growing AI networks. “The Midwest is kind of a big emerging market right now,” said Nick Halter, a Twin Cities reporter for Axios. “That's because we have abundant water, which oftentimes is used to cool these [centers] down, and also because we have much cooler temperatures.”That's because data centers in cooler climates require less energy to cool their facilities than those in warm Southern states. Some tech companies are also targeting Minnesota because of the state's renewable energy mandates, Halter said. “The big question here is: How can we get to a place where we have 100 percent renewable energy in Minnesota, which is our goal, while the 10 proposed [data centers] would be the equivalent of the entire state's households' electricity use?” To hear the full conversation with Nick Halter and Paul Huttner, click play on the audio player above or subscribe to the Climate Cast podcast.

Send us a textPreparing for a cloud network engineering interview at a tech giant? This episode delivers essential insights from someone who conducts these interviews. Kam Agahian, Senior Director of Cloud Engineering at Oracle, returns to continue our deep dive into what really matters when interviewing for these coveted positions.We begin by addressing listener questions about TCP/IP preparation, with Kam suggesting Wireshark packet analysis as a practical approach to master these foundational concepts. While acknowledging these topics can be dry, he emphasizes their critical importance as differentiators in the interview process.The conversation then shifts to the heart of cloud networking: connectivity between environments. Kam breaks down the two primary approaches – IPsec tunnels versus dedicated connections (like FastConnect, DirectConnect, ExpressRoute) – explaining when each makes sense and what you need to understand about them beyond simple definitions. The discussion includes encryption options, real-world implementation challenges, and how cloud service providers differ in their connectivity models.For routing, Kam explains how priorities have shifted from traditional networking interviews. While IGP protocols matter less at cloud boundaries, BGP knowledge remains crucial – but focused on practical applications rather than obscure features. "90-95% of BGP is done around a few topics – inbound and outbound traffic influence, convergence, and troubleshooting," he notes, advising candidates to understand both the "how" and "why" behind concepts like communities, attributes, and ECMP.Throughout the episode, both hosts emphasize a critical insight: cloud networking interviews aren't configuration tests. The most successful candidates demonstrate deep understanding of why technologies are appropriate for specific scenarios, how they've evolved, and the nuances of their implementation in cloud environments versus traditional networks. This thoughtful approach reveals the problem-solving abilities that tech giants value most in their cloud networking teams.Purchase Chris and Tim's new book on AWS Cloud Networking: https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Advanced-Networking-Certification-certification/dp/1835080839/ Check out the Fortnightly Cloud Networking Newshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1fkBWCGwXDUX9OfZ9_MvSVup8tJJzJeqrauaE6VPT2b0/Visit our website and subscribe: https://www.cables2clouds.com/Follow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/cables2clouds.comFollow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cables2clouds/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cables2cloudsMerch Store: https://store.cables2clouds.com/Join the Discord Study group: https://artofneteng.com/iaatj

The microchip maker Nvidia is a Silicon Valley colossus. After years as a runner-up to Intel and Qualcomm, Nvidia has all but cornered the market on the parallel processors essential for artificial-intelligence programs like ChatGPT. “Nvidia was there at the beginning of A.I.,” the tech journalist Stephen Witt tells David Remnick. “They really kind of made these systems work for the first time. We think of A.I. as a software revolution, something called neural nets, but A.I. is also a hardware revolution.” In The New Yorker, Stephen Witt profiled Jensen Huang, Nvidia's brilliant and idiosyncratic co-founder and C.E.O. His new book is “The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, Nvidia, and the World's Most Coveted Microchip.” Until recently, Nvidia was the most valuable company in the world, but its stock price has been volatile, posting the largest single-day loss in history in January. But the company's story is only partially a business story; it's also one about global superpowers, and who will decide the future. If China takes military action against Taiwan, as it has indicated it might, the move could wrest control of the manufacturing of Nvidia microchips from a Taiwanese firm, which is now investing in a massive production facility in the U.S. “Maybe what's happening,” Witt speculates, is that “this kind of labor advantage that Asia had over the United States for a long time, maybe in the age of robots that labor advantage is going to go away. And then it doesn't matter where we put the factory. The only thing that matters is, you know, is there enough power to supply it?” Plus, the staff writer Joshua Rothman has long been fascinated with A.I.—he even interviewed its “godfather,” Geoffrey Hinton, for The New Yorker Radio Hour. But Rothman has become increasingly concerned about a lack of public and political debate over A.I.—and about how thoroughly it may transform our lives. “Often, if you talk to people who are really close to the technology, the timelines they quote for really reaching transformative levels of intelligence are, like, shockingly soon,” he tells Remnick. “If we're worried about the incompetence of government, on whatever side of that you situate yourself, we should worry about automated government. For example, an A.I. decides the length of a sentence in a criminal conviction, or an A.I. decides whether you qualify for Medicaid. Basically, we'll have less of a say in how things go and computers will have more of a say.” Rothman's essay “Are We Taking A.I. Seriously Enough?” appears in his weekly column, Open Questions.

The United Nations' annual World Water Day observance took place on March 22, with a focus on supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.  In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we dive into the water stewardship practices at Amazon, one of the world's largest companies with a market cap of more than $2 trillion dollars. Amazon Water Sustainability Lead Will Hewes outlines the company's approach to water in the communities it serves and across Amazon's business lines, which range from e-commerce to online entertainment streaming services to grocery stores and cloud computing.   Will explains that one of the company's goals is to be "water positive" in its datacenter operations at Amazon Web Services by 2030 — meaning AWS aims to return more water to communities than it uses in direct operations.  Amazon operates in several countries and regions facing water-related challenges that are being exacerbated by climate change, and Will says the company is working with communities to support their adaptation efforts.   "We can't solve that entire crisis on our own, obviously,” Will says. “But how can we help plug in and help support some of those adaptations that need to happen to make sure that communities and the environment still have water they need, when they need it?"   Read further research from S&P Global Sustainable1:  How climate change is exacerbating drought risks: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/featured/special-editorial/how-climate-change-is-exacerbating-drought-risks?utm_source=allthingssustainable&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=allthingssustainablenotes  For the world's largest companies, climate physical risks have a $1.2 trillion annual price tag by the 2050s: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/featured/special-editorial/ceraweek-physical-risk?utm_source=allthingssustainable&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=allthingssustainablenotes  Learn more about S&P Global Sustainable1's climate physical risk dataset, which include financial calculations on water stress and drought risks, here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/solutions/physical-climate-risk-solutions?utm_source=allthingssustainable&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=allthingssustainablenotes  Listen to our podcast episode featuring an interview with the CEO of Water.org: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/why-water-org-ceo-says-the-world-s-water-challenges-are-inherently-solvable-    This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.          Copyright ©2025 by S&P Global          DISCLAIMER    By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

Apple TV+ incurs annual losses exceeding $1 billion despite having 45 million subscribers. The company allocates over $5 billion yearly to create original content, contributing to a total of over $20 billion spent since 2019. Apple TV+ captures only 0.2% of overall U.S. viewership. Competitors like Netflix and Disney+ surpass Apple TV+ in subscriber numbers, with Netflix at over 300 million and Disney+ at about 125 million. Apple prices its subscription at $9.99, lower than Netflix's and Disney+'s options. To attract new subscribers, Apple offers three free months with device purchases and includes the service in student plans. Although the losses are significant, they represent a small fraction of Apple's total revenue, which reached $124.3 billion in the last quarter, with $26.3 billion from Services. Apple TV+ holds a collection of over 80 movies and 120 shows and has received multiple awards, including an Oscar for "Coda."Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.
