Why the New York City Fiasco May Come Back to Haunt Amazon
An HQ2 fiasco, a multibillion-dollar divorce -- is Amazon's armor starting to show some cracks? Politicians and activists who opposed the facility cheered Amazon's sudden exit as others bemoaned the loss of up to 25,000 jobs and associated tax revenues.

Bloomberg•9 hours agoBrexit Means Facebook Can Breathe Easy in Britain
Among the select committee’s recommendations was the insistence that the Competition and Markets Authority, Britain’s antitrust authority, conduct a “deep audit of the advertising market on social media.” A governmental review into the sustainability of the news industry made a similar suggestion last week. Britain’s divorce from the European Union could seriously impair its capacity to rein in the giants of U.S. tech.

Tackling this so-called “kill zone,” where fledgling tech companies are acquired or copied out of existence by deep-pocketed incumbents, is a prime ambition for European Data Protection Supervisor Giovanni Buttarelli, nicknamed “Mr GDPR” after the data-privacy law.
