The anti-monarchy protesters threatened with arrest: 'Not my King'
'#WHO_ELECTED_HIM?' when the proclamation of the new king was read out in #Oxford.
#Civil_liberties campaigners and others have expressed alarm about the response of police to #anti_monarchy #protesters after a number of incidents, one of which included the #arrest and subsequent de-arrest of Symon Hill for #shouting??
In London, Paul Powlesland, a barrister and climate activist who had held up a blank piece of paper in Parliament Square, said he had been threatened with arrest by a police officer under the Public Order Act. The advocacy group Liberty said that new powers recently given to the police to curtail protest, and how they were being enforced by officers, were a cause for deep concern

#Anti_monarchy #protesters hold signs in #Westminster after #Arrests..
Anti-monarchists staged #peaceful_protests outside the Houses of #Parliament on Tuesday, after police #threatened a #lawyer with arrest if he held up a sign reading '#NOT_MY_KING.’
Protesters, some carrying blank signs and some carrying those with anti-monarchy slogans, called for #freedom of speech and the right to protest. As Guardian reporter Damian Gayle spoke to them, a police officer came to ask questions about the protest.

Look who's being searched: Google #RAIDED by #South_Korean #competition_regulators | May 31, 2012
Google continues to be plagued by antitrust disputes,(opens in new tab) with the most recent flashpoint occurring earlier in the week when the company's offices in Seoul were raided by the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC), inside sources are claiming.
If the reports are accurate, it would represent the second time(opens in new tab) the search giant has been swooped on by the government agency, which is responsible for regulating economic competition in South Korea.
Speculation surrounding the bust indicates it may be a response to the Internet titan's resistance to an ongoing Android-related investigation by the KFTC(opens in new tab), which the regulators feel Google is hampering by erasing documents and encouraging employees to work remotely during the proceedings.
Google has not yet issued a direct comment on the reported raid, instead reiterating an earlier statement that it will "continue cooperating with this and other government inquiries."
The investigation(opens in new tab) is rooted in a complaint lodged last year by local Internet content service operators, including NHN Corporation, who run the popular Korean web portal Naver, and Daum Communications.
The central grievance logged by the two companies is that Google uses its market dominance to manipulate smartphone manufacturers and mobile carriers on the peninsula into pre-loading its services onto devices whilst freezing out local rivals.
The South Korean government is known for placing harsh, something absurd, restrictions on telecommunications products - until late 2011, all game apps had to be vetted by a central "Game Rating Board," a move that led Apple and Google to pull out of that side of the app market.
It is not the first time that Google has faced problems in South Korea - Google's Seoul offices were also raided by the KFTC last September, while in May 2011 police swooped on the same location following allegations that the behemoth's AdMob platform was being used unlawfully to log private data.
The Asian regulatory body's latest bust compounds the legal pressure on Google at the moment(opens in new tab). Brussels recently set a 2 July deadline for the company to respond to allegations that it has similarly abused its dominant position in European markets.

#Apple's #Korea #Offices #RAIDED by #ANTITRUST Regulators Over #Allegations It Charges #Developers 33% #Commission
Friday September 30, 2022 2:02 am
Apple's #South_Korean #headquarters have been raided by antitrust regulators after a complaint was raised by developers that it is charging them over the standard 30% #App_Store commission rate.
The #dawn raid by the Korea Fair Trade Commission (#KFTC) was reported by local media on Monday and covered on Friday by the Foss Patents blog, highlighting the ongoing #investigation in the country into Apple's alleged #abuse of #market_power.
The complaint that sparked the raid was reportedly brought by #mobile_game developers who argued that Apple charges more than the typical 30% #commission rate for #purchases made in the App Store.
As Foss Patents points out, Apple charges 30% of the price paid by end users, which includes value added tax (VAT), making it 10% higher than the amount on which Google bases its 30% commission, which doesn't include VAT. #Apple is therefore #collecting 33% (30% of 110%), not the headline 30% rate.
The above also comes into play for the 15% rate applied to small businesses or to subscriptions in the first year: Developers in Korea get charged 16.5% because Apple collects the commission on the #gross_price which is inclusive of VAT. The additional 3% reportedly amounted to approximately 345 billion won ($240 million) in the period from 2015 to 2020.
It's a similar story in other countries where Apple operates including #France and #Italy (32.1%), #Turkey 35.25%, and the #UK (31.5%) when tax is taken into account, although no-one has yet lodged a formal complaint about the practice in any of those countries.
The development means Apple is now being investigated by #two Korean #government_agencies. In August, the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) said that it had conducted an inspection of Apple, Google, and One Store since May 17 to determine if they have #violated in-app #payment_laws, and concluded that all three companies may have done so. If the new probe discovers malpractice, the KCC could issue correction orders and impose fines up to as high as 2% of the average annual revenue from relevant business practices.
In January, Apple announced that it would comply with a new South Korean law that bans app store operators from requiring developers to use their own in-app purchase systems. In late June, the change came into effect, enabling developers to offer alternative payment systems in South Korea.
However, Foss Patents argues that Apple is acting in bad faith by making it prohibitively expensive to use alternate payment services. Apple charges a 26% commission on payments processed by other service providers, meaning that developers using a third-party payment processor in Korea would have a total cost that is about twice as high as if they used Apple's in-app purchases.

Unlike your Regular Internet connection these satellites run on GPS Tech (and why SATS WERE LAUNCHED IN THE FIRST PLACE--SO RAPIDLY AFTER JAN 6 RIOTS STORMED THE WHITE HOUSE ..REMEMBER.. SPACE JUNK?? UNDER #NASA WATCH).
Governments are afraid of RIOTS. just ask #China. They will do anything to deter IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THIER POWER and why they need the sats to track and trace all its US citizens.
This a National Defense #WEAPON deployed by the USA Government against #WE_THE_PEOPLE. IMHO
#NEWS_FLASH: they cannot track and trace you using regular eg: #Comcast etc. internet services..
