Gatekeepers, defined as companies with an entrenched position, with a signifant impact on the EU market and operate a core platform service, could be online search engines, social networking services, cloud computing services and advertising services, the EU executive said.They face a list of dos and dont’s aimed at stopping unfair behaviour or practices which close off markets, and will have to report proposed acquisitions to the authorities.Large online platforms, namely companies with more than 45 million users, will have to do more to remove illegal and harmful content and also show details of political adverts on their platforms as well as the parameters used by their algorithms to rank products and services.

Fashion April 26, 2024 • Comments off

Fashion April 20, 2024 • Comments off

Meanwhile online sales as a proportion of all retailing increased to 19.2% in October 2019, from the 19% reported in September 2019.

Fashion April 18, 2024 • Comments off

A tiny piece of carbon is put into a plasma reactor at very high heat and gradually the tiny crystal grows. After several hundreds of hours, it is big enough to be cut into a polished stone.

“For me, synthetic diamonds have little to do with the world of luxury,” Tiffany boss Alessandro Bogliolo said in an interview at …
