According to the report, Facebook is developing a stablecoin which is a type of digital currency pegged to the US dollar, to minimise volatility. However, the company is far from releasing the coin. It is still working on the strategy, including a plan for custody assets, or regular currencies that would be held to protect the value of the stablecoin.

JERUSALEM:  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s eldest, Yair, tweeted on Sunday that Facebook blocked his page for 24 hours over apparent anti-Muslim posts and called the leading social network a “dictatorship”. In a message posted on Thursday on his Facebook page after deadly Palestinian attacks, Yair Netanyahu had called for “all Muslims (to) leave” Israel. “Do you know where there are no attacks? In Iceland and in Japan where coincidentally there are no Muslims,” the prime minister’s son wrote. Palestinian killed as Israel hunts West Bank shooter In another post he wrote that there were only two possible solutions for peace, either “all Jews leave (Israel) or all Muslims leave”. “I prefer the second option,” he added. His comments came after two soldiers were shot dead on Thursday at a central West Bank bus station near a settlement. On the same day, a baby prematurely delivered after his mother was shot and wounded in a separate attack nearby on December 9 also died. Israel destroy

PHOTO: AFP TAMPA:  In a move that shocked lunar scientists, NASA has cancelled the only robotic vehicle under development to explore the surface of the Moon, despite President Donald Trump’s vow to return people there. Scientists working on the Resource Prospector (RP) mission, a robotic rover that had been in development for about a decade to explore a polar region of the Moon, expressed astonishment at the decision. “We now understand RP was cancelled on 23 April 2018 and the project has been asked to close down by the end of May,” said the letter dated April 26 by the Lunar Exploration Analysis Group, addressed to NASA chief Jim Bridenstine and posted on the website  NASAWatch NASA test meant for astro

Facebook to verify political ads ahead of elections in Pakistan PHOTO AFP WASHINGTON:  Facebook announced on Friday that it will require any political ads on its platform to state who is paying for the message, and would verify the identity of the payer, in a bid to curb outside election interference. The social network, which is under fire for enabling manipulation of its platform in the 2016 election, said the new policy would require any messages for candidates or public issues to include the label “political ad” with the name of the person or entity paying for it. Up to 2.7 million Europeans affected by Facebook data scandal: EU In reply to a comment on his post, Zuckerberg stated, “Yes — 2018 has important elections across the US, Mexico, India, Brazil, Pakistan, Hungary and many other countries.

US government seeks to end fight with Microsoft Microsoft and the Justice Department had been locked in a dispute over how US prosecutors seek access to data held on overseas computer servers owned by American companies. PHOTO: REUTERS The US government’s Supreme Court battle with Microsoft over whether technology companies can be forced to hand over data stored overseas could be nearing its end after federal prosecutors asked that the case is dismissed. President Donald Trump on March 22 signed a provision into law making it clear that US judges can issue warrants for such data while giving companies an avenue to object if the request conflicts with foreign law. Microsoft extends partnership with Chinese firm on cloud service “This case is now moot,” the US Department of Justice said, citing the newly passed legislation, in a 16-page court filing on Friday that requested the dismissal. The Supreme Court on February 27 heard arguments in the case, which had been one of the most closely

PHOTO: REUTERS US President Donald Trump launched his second attack in a week on Amazon.com on Saturday, accusing the world’s biggest online retailer of getting unfairly cheap rates from the US Postal Service and not paying enough tax. Trump’s comments on Twitter reiterated criticisms he made on Thursday about the company. He may have been prompted by a report from news website Axios saying he was obsessed with Amazon and considering ways to rein in the company’s power, possibly with federal antitrust or competition laws. Amazon shares fall after report Trump wants to curb its power Investor concerns about regulatory action sent Amazon shares down 3.3 per cent over Wednesday and Thursday, knocking $24 billion off the company’s market value. “While we are on the subject, it is reported that the US Post Office will lose $1.50 on average for eac
