Facebook discriminates obese, Google runs to the tax authorities – RTP

Facebook decided to unpublish the photo in bikini smiling “Plus size model” Tess Holliday, who was integrated advertising an event entitled “Feminism and fat”, promoted in Melbourne by Australian feminist group Cherchez la femme .

Com the photo was intended to show that an obese woman can be humorous, attractive and happy. That is, the image could not be a woman with other physical characteristics and was precisely to draw attention by excess weight.

Facebook understood however otherwise and despublicou photography arguing that it is against its rules disseminate advertising appearing “bodies or body parts in an undesirable way”

to explain the ban, began to use a response template:. “ads like this are not allowed, because they can eventually develop a low self-esteem among those who see them. Alternatively, we recommend that you use images of a relevant activity such as running or cycling. “
Facebook recedes before Womenpower

 With the decision and with the formatted response drew upon himself the holy wrath
 feminist organization that responded jokingly, putting
 . Publishing a picture of the same woman obese cycling

The tug of war between feminist organization and facebookiana organization decided with this to retreat across the board and make excuses somewhat atabalhoadas: “The Wow
 team must manage every week millions of advertising images and
 sometimes prohibit ads by mistake. “

This controversy comes after another, to the contrary, that Facebook was accused last week, to censor the most conservative content in the popularity context achieved by the campaign of Donald Trump.

the leader of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, then undertook a series of steps to counter the negative publicity that resulted from these accusations of censorship, published explanations of how they try to control the movement of violent or racist content, and finally admitted that some of these control mechanisms may occasionally be perverted and may need therefore to be revised.

 French police clothe Google facilities


 However, a search of mega operation carried out in France targeted the Google France. About a hundred of fiscal agents, including 25 computer specialists and five judges, carried out searches in a number of Google’s offices in Paris.

A statement from the prosecutor quoted in ZD.net explained the search with the investigation into charges of tax fraud aggravated and bleaching: “the investigation seeks to determine whether Google Ireland Ltd has a permanent establishment in France and by failing to declare a part of its activity performed in French territory, it failed to fulfill its tax obligations, including to the corporation tax and the tax on the added value. “

to this hurried Al Verney, Google’s spokesman the answer:.. “We cooperate with the authorities to answer the questions put We follow entirely by French law”

the amount involved in the research is significant: the suspected French tax authorities which was injured by Google at EUR 1,600 million. The more restrained critics of Californian society give it as a bad example of “aggressive tax optimization.” – Euphemism to indicate a multi-million dollar tax evasion

But Google argues that “in the United States largely paid the taxes we should, because our centers of R & D [Research & amp; Development] are mostly there (…) We try to build more centers of R & D abroad, which will automatically lead us to pay more taxes “
