Driving Digital Change: The 33rd Digital Transformation Summit to Shape India’s $1 Trillion Digital Market

MUMBAI, INDIA, Jan 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Unified Payment Interface (UPI) has changed how India handles money, moving from paper to digital transactions. As more people use digital payments during COVID-19, It has become a game-changer. It allows people to send money at any time, helping to bring more people into the banking system and connecting both those with and without bank accounts.UPI has made formal financial services accessible to millions and has had a clear impact on India’s digital economy. It makes it easier to pay without cash and encourages more use of digital payments, which reduces reliance on cash and leads to a more productive and transparent economy and also helps businesses become more official, which in turn increases tax revenue and reduces illegal money flows, making governance more effective.However, there are challenges to address, including concerns about data privacy, regional disparities, and the need to integrate with traditional payment methods like credit cards. Despite these hurdles, the platform continues to grow, largely due to its strong security measures and low costs for users. This positions it to compete effectively with global players like MasterCard and Visa.The Platform has transformed the digital economy of India by making more seamless transactions and increasing financial inclusion. From 92 crore in FY 2017-18 to 13,116 crore in FY 2023-24, the CAGR of UPI is 129%. By 2028, UPI is going to comprise 90% of total retail digital payment volumes and strengthen the leadership of fintech in India.Overview of the event: The 33rd Edition of the Digital Transformation Summit brings together over 500 top executives and technology leaders to discuss game-changing technologies like AI, Robotics, Blockchain, and Quantum Computing. With India’s digital market projected to reach $1 trillion and Gen AI potentially adding $1.5 trillion to the GDP by 2030, this event features hands-on workshops, expert talks, and valuable networking opportunities.

Viomi Unveils at CES 2025, Leading Innovation in Water Purification Technology

HONG KONG, Jan 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – On January 7, 2025, the four-day International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2025) was grandly held in Las Vegas. As a bellwether for technological innovation, CES serves not only as a platform to display the latest technological achievements but also as an essential window into future technological trends.Vortex 8's Stunning Showcase Highlights the Limitless Potential of Water Purification TechnologyViomi Technology Co., Ltd. (“Viomi,”, “the Company”, NASDAQ: VIOT) made its grand entrance at CES 2025 with its new product, the Vortex 8. This launch not only highlights the Company’s cutting-edge position in water purification technology but also showcases its deep commitment to sustainability and relentless pursuit of innovation.Viomi’s booth featured two flagship products: the Kunlun Mineral Water Purifier and the Vortex 8. Both products are equipped with RO filtration technology, which leverages its precision of 0.0001 microns to effectively remove harmful pollutants such as PFOA, PFOS, viruses, heavy metals, and microplastics. Additionally, the systems significantly lower the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels, providing consumers with pure and safe drinking water. With an efficient 3:1 wastewater ratio and a 4-year long-life filter design, these products not only improve filtration efficiency but also significantly reduce water wastage and replacement costs. This marks a major breakthrough for Viomi in the field of home water health. Vortex 8 had previously gained strong support on Kickstarter, raising over HKD 450,000 from nearly 200 backers, exceeding expectations by 1,200%. Following its launch on Amazon, it has also received enthusiastic feedback from consumers. Users commonly praise the Vortex 8 for its ability to effectively conserve water, ease of installation, and high marks for its RO filtration technology.Furthermore, the Viomi Kunlun Mineral Water Purifier offers a unique experience, featuring the ability to release six vital minerals. This provides users seeking a high-quality, healthy lifestyle with a drinking water solution enriched with beneficial minerals, redefining the standards and possibilities for modern household health water. The Kunlun Mineral Water Purifier's filter core is sourced from Kunlun Mountain’s blue stone mineral deposits. Through two industry-first innovations—NLS natural lava physical composite technology and SMM mineral micropore passivation—along with AI mineral slow-release algorithms, it intelligently adjusts the system for stable and efficient mineral release from the filter core. The water filtered by the Kunlun system contains six beneficial minerals—strontium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and metasilicic acid—similar to the mineral content found in natural mineral waters. Among these, strontium levels reach 0.4-1.4 mg/L, which is twice the national standard (0.2 mg/L), enabling users to enjoy high-quality Kunlun mineral water containing strontium and metasilicic acid right at home.Viomi’s Founder and CEO, Chen Xiaoping, remarked: “Vortex 8 is more than just a water purifier; it is an enhancement of everyday living. With its exceptional performance, long-lasting durability, and environmentally friendly design, it epitomizes our commitment to providing cleaner and better water to every household.”Showcasing China’s Innovation: Viomi Establishes a New Standard in the Water Filtration IndustryAs Chinese companies continue to enhance their technological capabilities and product quality, they are progressively establishing strong brand identities through sustained investment in R&D and active market expansion. As a result, Chinese enterprises are emerging as key players on the global stage. In recent years, the water purifier industry has experienced positive growth, driven by policy guidance, increasing market demand, and technological advancements. The Chinese government has introduced a series of policies aimed at promoting the development of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly water purification products, aligning with the country’s long-term goal of achieving carbon peak by 2030. The State Council’s “Water Conservation Regulations” have also proposed an innovative approach to water management, emphasizing the importance of water conservation and addressing water resource issues within the broader framework of modernization. These policies are not only driving the upgrade of water purifier products but also creating a favorable development environment for the industry. As consumer awareness of water safety continues to rise, the demand for water purification products in China is expected to grow, presenting significant market potential. According to the China Forward Industry Research Institute, the Chinese water purifier market is projected to grow at an annual rate of nearly 9%, potentially exceeding 30 billion RMB by 2028. Meanwhile, the U.S. water filtration market is also experiencing steady growth, with a projected market size of $10.4 billion by 2032. According to a report from the nonprofit organization DigDeep, 2.2 million people in the U.S. lack access to basic indoor plumbing and tap water, and over 44 million people rely on substandard water systems, highlighting the critical role of water purifiers.As a leader in the water purification industry, Viomi is spearheading technological advancements with its “AI for Better Water” smart purification technology. Viomi’s ERO+AI technology enables real-time water quality adjustment and monitoring while retaining beneficial minerals in the water. In 2024, Viomi underwent a strategic business reorganization, divesting from certain loss-making operations to focus exclusively on its core water purification business. By leveraging its extensive expertise in AI, smart hardware, and software development, Viomi is committed to providing superior drinking water solutions for households worldwide. As a pioneer in the global water filtration industry, Viomi has applied for over 1,600 water purification patents and more than 500 invention patents, dedicated to advancing water purification standards through advanced reverse osmosis systems and intelligent filtration technologies.Viomi’s product lineup spans from under-sink RO systems to comprehensive whole-house softening and purification solutions, as well as countertop models, offering a wide variety of choices for different household needs. These products cater to water requirements in various settings, including living rooms, bedrooms, and studies, while also enhancing both aesthetic appeal and practicality through user-centric designs and environmentally friendly materials. Viomi’s commitment to innovation and market strategy has positioned the company as a driving force in the industry’s shift towards smarter, healthier water solutions. Moreover, Viomi operates a state-of-the-art “Water Purifier Gigafactory,” with an annual production capacity of 5 million units and a filter element capacity of 30 million units. This highly integrated supply chain and automated production line ensure top-tier product quality and operational efficiency. The factory’s high-standard, clean production environment, along with a fully traceable quality control system, solidifies Viomi’s dominant position in the industry. Through these advantages, Viomi is not only meeting the growing global demand for clean, fresh, and healthy drinking water but also setting a new benchmark for sustainable development in the water filtration sector.Financial OutlookFrom a financial perspective, Viomi is optimistic about its full-year 2024 performance, with expected revenues from continuing operations projected to be between 1.7 billion and 1.9 billion RMB. The Company anticipates profits from these operations to range between 110 million and 130 million RMB. This positive outlook is closely tied to the company’s strategic business reorganization completed in August 2024, which involved divesting certain IoT@Home businesses and assets in order to concentrate on its core water purification operations. This restructuring initiative aims to optimize the company’s business structure, enhance operational efficiency, and focus on R&D and innovation in the water purification field. For the first half of 2024, Viomi reported net revenues of 1.04 billion RMB, with net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders reaching 6 million RMB, marking a successful turnaround. Excluding the divested businesses, revenue from core water purification and related services exceeded 800 million RMB, with operating profit surpassing 50 million RMB. The Company’s overall gross margin increased from 22.0% in the previous year to 24.8%, while operating expenses decreased by 19.2% year-on-year, driven by continuous cost-reduction and efficiency-improvement efforts. Viomi’s strategic focus on its core business not only enhances its profitability but also strengthens investor confidence in the company’s future. With continued investments in the water purification sector, Viomi is well-positioned to maintain growth throughout the second half of the year, achieving its annual performance goals.At CES 2025, Viomi showcased its industry leadership with the Vortex 8’s innovative filtration technology and versatile applications, marking a significant milestone in the Company’s technological progress. This development underscores the rise of Chinese technology on the global stage and injects new momentum into the pursuit of a better future. As technology continues to evolve and expand globally, we have every reason to expect that more Chinese companies, like Viomi, will emerge to offer groundbreaking innovations and transformative solutions to global consumers.About VIOMIVIOMI is a NASDAQ-listed company, dedicated to advancing water purification technology under its vision of “AI For Better Water”.

俄大使:美国为在格陵兰部署可携带核武器的战斗机铺路

(SeaPRwire) -   据俄罗斯驻丹麦大使弗拉基米尔·巴尔宾称,华盛顿正计划在格陵兰岛这个丹麦半自治领土上增加军事存在。 据俄罗斯卫星通讯社援引俄罗斯驻丹麦大使弗拉基米尔·巴尔宾的话报道,美国正在格陵兰岛建设机场基础设施,可能用于部署能够携带核弹头的战斗机。 此评论是在美国当选总统唐纳德·特朗普再次表达希望从丹麦购买这个拥有自治权的北极岛屿之后发表的,他拒绝排除使用经济措施或军事行动来实现这一目标。 巴尔宾指出,位于该岛西北海岸的美国皮图菲克太空基地目前是美国从北极地区预警核打击的一部分。 “一项全面的现代化改造正在进行中,包括价值数十亿美元的雷达系统。还在为能够携带核武器的F-35战斗机开发机场基础设施,”大使说,并补充说,这个前身为图勒空军基地的基地此前已在美军空军演习中被战斗机使用。 巴尔宾表示,俄罗斯致力于“加强”北极地区的稳定,但这只有通过建立对所有北极国家都平等的安全体系才能实现。 这位外交官表示,特朗普对待格陵兰岛的方式只会恶化局势,并表明他不愿加强稳定和发展北极地区的对话。 巴尔宾警告说,俄罗斯将把特朗普的立场考虑在内,以确保更好的国防规划。 特朗普在2019年他之前的任期内首次提出要从丹麦购买格陵兰岛。在本周早些时候在海湖庄园举行的新闻发布会上,他拒绝排除使用经济措施或军事力量来控制该领土的可能性,声称夺取格陵兰岛对美国国家安全至关重要。 他还建议美国应该吞并加拿大,并坚决表示他将重新控制巴拿马运河。 丹麦和格陵兰岛的官员都拒绝了出售该岛屿的可能性。“格陵兰岛不是待售的,将来也不会是,”丹麦首相梅特·弗雷德里克森在本周早些时候表示。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

斯洛伐克威胁因天然气过境争议阻止对乌克兰的援助——媒体报道

(SeaPRwire) -   据报道,总理罗伯特·菲科誓言,如果乌克兰天然气过境问题得不到解决,他将否决欧盟对基辅的支持 路透社报道,斯洛伐克总理罗伯特·菲科警告说,如果俄罗斯经乌克兰过境输送天然气的问题得不到解决,布拉迪斯拉发可能会阻止欧盟对基辅的财政和人道主义援助。菲科在周四与欧盟能源专员丹·约根森会谈后发表了这一声明。 菲科将因过境受阻造成的潜在损失作为其威胁的原因。 “没有任何东西——无论是国际法还是制裁——能够阻止天然气通过乌克兰过境,”菲科在布鲁塞尔对记者说,路透社援引了他的话。 斯洛伐克已经完全停止了俄罗斯经乌克兰输送的天然气,这条路线以前为布拉迪斯拉发提供了大量的过境费,也为其国内消费提供了天然气。 据菲科说,斯洛伐克每年将损失5.15亿美元的过境费,由于中断,还可能面临10亿美元的天然气价格上涨。 “如果这个问题得不到解决,斯洛伐克共和国政府将在不久的将来采取严格的报复措施,”菲科说。 这位总理概述了可能的报复措施,包括在欧盟内部行使斯洛伐克关于乌克兰相关问题的否决权。 他还威胁要暂停对乌克兰的人道主义援助,减少对斯洛伐克境内乌克兰难民的支持,并停止向该国紧急供电。 菲科的言论是在最近与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京在莫斯科会谈之后发表的,在此期间,这位斯洛伐克领导人获得了直接向斯洛伐克供应天然气的保证,尽管过境运输已经停止。 在乌克兰拒绝参加后,斯洛伐克、乌克兰和欧盟委员会官员最初计划举行一次会议,以解决天然气过境问题,但该会议被取消。斯洛伐克和欧盟委员会已同意组建一个工作组,以评估这场危机并探讨欧盟可能的干预措施。 乌克兰尚未公开回应菲科的最新声明。上个月,当斯洛伐克总理首次威胁要切断对基辅的电力供应时,乌克兰能源部长格尔曼·加卢什琴科表示,他不认为布拉迪斯拉发会实施这一威胁。 斯洛伐克与俄罗斯的俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司(Gazprom)签订了合同,每年需要40亿至50亿立方米的天然气才能满足其能源需求。在过境中断之前,它每年通过乌克兰从俄罗斯获得约30亿立方米的天然气。为应对中断,斯洛伐克国有天然气公司SPP现在正从包括BP、ExxonMobil、Shell、Eni和RWE在内的国际供应商那里采购液化天然气(LNG)。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

马斯克与德国另类选择党领导人对话要点:默克尔“毁了”德国,乌克兰冲突,“希特勒式”审查制度 “`

(SeaPRwire) -   这位亿万富翁周四晚上与右翼政治家爱丽丝·魏德尔进行了交谈 科技企业家埃隆·马斯克与德国右翼政党“德国另类选择党”(AfD)的联合领导人爱丽丝·魏德尔进行了长时间的对话。据《政治》杂志报道,预计多达150名专家将在周四晚上对在X平台上直播的谈话进行实时监控,以防违反德国选举法。 马斯克此前在柏林因赞扬AfD的政策(包括其对移民的强硬立场)而引起了一些不满。在与魏德尔的谈话中,他重申自己相信“只有AfD才能拯救德国”,为2025年议会选举做准备。 默克尔“毁了”德国 魏德尔抨击前总理安格拉·默克尔在2015年移民危机期间的“开放大门政策”,当时德国接收了大约100万来自非洲和中东的寻求庇护者。 魏德尔说,默克尔“基本上毁了我们的国家”,并认为逐步淘汰廉价核能“摧毁了”德国经济的支柱。 德国另类选择党领导人表示,德国已经关闭了其核电站,成为唯一这样做工业化国家。2011年,德国议会决定在日本福岛核事故发生后关闭这些电站。最后一个反应堆于2023年关闭,两年后默克尔辞去总理职务。 魏德尔表示,德国应该重新引入核电作为柏林推广的绿色能源的更廉价替代方案。马斯克自称是“太阳能的忠实粉丝”,他建议德国不仅应该重新开放核电站,而且应该“大幅增加”其产量。 移民给纳税人带来负担 魏德尔批评政府助长了“向社会保障体系移民”的现象,这消耗了纳税人大量资金。 这位政治家声称,自2015年以来,已有超过700万人抵达德国,并补充说,近60%的人销毁了身份证件,以使潜在的驱逐出境程序复杂化。她将此情况归咎于默克尔时代对移民的宽松态度。马斯克表示,美国不得不应对通过其与墨西哥边境涌入的大量无证移民。 根据德国联邦统计局的数据,2015年至2023年期间,共有超过1400万“非德国人”抵达德国。该报告未具体说明他们来自其他欧盟国家还是欧盟以外的国家。根据政府数据,仅2023年,联邦和州政府就为寻求庇护者的福利计划支出62.9亿欧元(64.8亿美元)。 “自由保守党” 魏德尔表示,“德国另类选择党”是一个“自由保守党”,它与官僚作斗争,并试图通过减少政府在公共生活中的作用来“解放人民”。她补充说,她希望看到“自信的人们”享受言论自由并创造财富。 魏德尔抱怨说,她的政党受到了媒体的“负面描述”。她感谢马斯克进行了一次“正常的对话”,在对话中她没有经常被“打断”。 她反复拒绝将AfD与纳粹分子进行比较,认为阿道夫·希特勒既不是自由主义者,也不是保守派。 包括图林根州领导人比约恩·霍克在内的一些现任和前任AfD成员就德国纳粹历史发表了有争议的言论,并被指控与新纳粹组织有联系。因此,所有其他主要政党都大多拒绝与AfD合作。2021年,德国国内安全机构BfV将AfD列为“可疑”极端主义组织。该党在法庭上未成功对这一认定提出异议。 审查制度是希特勒所为 马斯克和魏德尔猛烈抨击欧盟官员监控他们的对话并从事“言论自由审查”。他们一致认为,言论自由是“民主的基石”,而“极端的审查制度”帮助希特勒巩固了他的权力。 “对于那些想要审查制度的人,我认为他们应该小心他们要求什么,因为一旦你实行审查制度,审查制度转向你只是时间问题,”马斯克说。 以巴冲突“复杂” 魏德尔表示支持以色列,称她的政党是德国犹太人的“唯一保护者”。与此同时,她强调加沙人民应该获得饮用水和其他基本资源。 她说,以巴冲突“复杂”,并补充说她目前没有看到明显的解决方案。 马斯克提出了他认为有助于结束战斗的措施,例如“消灭”哈马斯和其他寻求“摧毁”以色列的势力。他呼吁“修复”巴勒斯坦教育体系。他说,巴勒斯坦地区应该繁荣昌盛。 “我认为宽恕具有极大的智慧,”马斯克强调。“这是阻止无休止暴力循环的唯一途径。” 欧盟“已经放弃了一切”,只会加剧与俄罗斯的冲突 魏德尔说,俄乌冲突表明欧盟“已经放弃了一切”,并且依赖于美国。她指出,虽然持续的敌对行动对欧洲安全构成“巨大危险”,但欧盟只设法“加剧了与俄罗斯的整个冲突”。 “这里发生的事情非常危险,”她说,并补充说欧盟国家“没有战略”,“没有底线”。她警告说,这场冲突可能“会迅速升级到核交换”。 马斯克表达了希望当选美国总统唐纳德·特朗普能够迅速解决这场危机,但拒绝评论即将上任的政府的计划。他认为,延长冲突只会削弱乌克兰,乌克兰是一个“较小的国家”,无力承受重大损失。 殖民火星可以拯救人类 当魏德尔问及他渴望殖民火星的原因时,马斯克说这是“确保我们所知生命的长期生存的一种方式”。他认为,这项努力可以在发生全球自然灾害或人为灾难的情况下保护人类。马斯克说,人类存在“额外的风险,我们可能会自我毁灭”,并警告说“机会之窗”可能比人们预期的要短。 马斯克说,踏上火星“与其说是关于旗帜和足迹”,不如说是关于建立一个自给自足的殖民地,这可能需要“一百万吨货物”和“一百万人”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

英国特种部队被指拥有“免死金牌”,可杀害阿富汗平民——军官证言 “`

(SeaPRwire) -   一名前任军人作证称,英国军队将所有适龄男性都视为目标 一名前任士兵告诉公众调查,英国突击队员在阿富汗的反塔利班袭击中 routinely 杀害平民。 周三公布的七名士兵和指挥官的证词是针对英国特种部队(包括SAS)在2010年至2013年期间在赫尔曼德省行为的调查的一部分。 “在这些行动中,据说目标上的‘所有适龄男性都被杀害’,无论他们构成的威胁如何,这包括那些没有持有武器的人,”一名仅被称为N1799的士兵告诉调查人员。 “还有迹象表明,‘适龄男性’在被制服后,在目标地点,在院落内,使用各种方法被处决,”证人补充道。 据N1799称,“在一个案例中,有人提到在用枪杀害一个人之前,在他的头上放了一个枕头。”证人说,他“对杀害阿富汗人的年龄和方法感到震惊”。 证人说,部队在描述所谓的处决时使用了诸如“打包”之类的术语。 另一名前突击队员说,特种部队拥有“一张金牌通行证,让他们可以逍遥法外,”据英国广播公司报道。 据路透社报道,没有一位提供证词的士兵说他们亲眼目睹了谋杀。 调查中获悉,一些士兵对同事的行为表示担忧。据《纽约时报》援引的一份证词,一名士兵在一封电子邮件中质疑SAS部队是否在编造允许他们杀害阿富汗战斗人员的情景,另一名军官回复说,“这些阿富汗人太蠢了,他们活该死。” 代表丧亲家庭的Leigh Day律师事务所去年辩称,至少有30起“可疑事件”导致80多人死亡。 在长达二十年的塔利班叛乱之后,英国军队和其他西方军队于2021年撤离阿富汗。英国在阿富汗占领期间损失了457名士兵。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

高达150名欧盟官员将审查马斯克与德国反对党进行的直播——Politico

(SeaPRwire) -   据报道,布鲁塞尔担心德国另类选择党(AfD)在下一个月的闪电选举中可能获得“不公平的优势” 据《政治新闻》(Politico)周四报道,欧盟委员会计划部署一支庞大的专家和官员团队,以监测埃隆·马斯克即将与德国右翼政党德国另类选择党(AfD)联席主席爱丽丝·魏德尔进行的直播访谈。 据该媒体报道,欧盟委员会认为,这场定于周四晚上举行的活动可能在德国下个月的闪电议会选举之前为德国另类选择党(AfD)提供“不公平的优势”。 据《政治新闻》(Politico)报道,来自欧盟委员会DG CONNECT技术部门和位于塞维利亚的欧洲算法透明度中心(European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency)的共计150名专家将监测此次谈话。据该出版物报道,该团队关注的焦点不是谈话内容,而是X在直播期间使用的算法。 布鲁塞尔担心,自从这位亿万富翁在12月的一条推文中称赞该党以来,马斯克拥有的这个平台可能会通过其内部算法极大地提升这个右翼政党的声势。 “[它]被提升了多少或将会被提升多少?这就是委员会将要关注的,”委员会发言人托马斯·雷尼埃(Thomas Regnier)周一在评论布鲁塞尔的计划时对记者说。据《政治新闻》(Politico)报道,X可能会帮助德国另类选择党的政治家接触更广泛的受众,或降低其竞争对手的内容等级。 根据欧盟2022年《数字服务法案》(DSA),监测小组被授予了广泛的权力,可以要求访问从平台的内部运作到内部通信的任何信息。 根据《数字服务法案》(DSA),如果欧盟在线平台未能打击非法内容和虚假信息并遵守欧盟的透明度规则,欧盟可以对其处以高达其年度全球收入6%的罚款。自2023年12月以来,X一直是布鲁塞尔的关注目标,并在2024年7月因涉嫌误导其用户、缺乏透明度以及未能提供某些公共数据而面临指控。 据《政治新闻》(Politico)报道,周四晚上收集的所有数据都可能被用来加强这一指控,但最终是否对这些指控提起诉讼的决定将由“委员会的最高层”做出。 欧盟科技事务专员亨娜·维尔库宁(Henna Virkkunen)和她的同事迈克尔·麦格拉思(Michael McGrath)本周发布了一封信,表示布鲁塞尔计划“积极推进此案”。 在12月,马斯克称德国另类选择党(AfD)是唯一能够“拯救德国”的政党,并赞扬其反移民立场,同时称奥拉夫·舒尔茨总理是“无能的傻瓜”。德国领导人反驳称,这位亿万富翁可能只是渴望在网上获得关注,并呼吁人们不要“喂养这个巨魔”。 德国数字监管机构负责人克劳斯·穆勒(Klaus Muller)呼吁欧盟对马斯克采取更宽松的态度。“并非所有让你感到不安的事情都是非法的,”他周四在接受德国之声电台(Deutschlandfunk Radio)采访时说。他表示,言论自由始终意味着“那些你不同意其观点的人的自由”,并反对他对这位亿万富翁的“疯狂关注”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
