  • YouTube CEO Says Trump Channel Will Stay Suspended Over Violence Risk

    (Bloomberg) -- YouTube Chief Executive Officer Susan Wojcicki said Donald Trump’s channel will remain temporarily suspended due to the risk that he will use the online video service to incite more violence.“Given just the warnings given by the capitol police yesterday about a potential attack today, I think it’s pretty clear that elevated violence risk still remains,” Wojcicki said during an interview at an event organized by the Atlantic Council.The Google-owned platform will lift the suspension when it determines the risk of violence has decreased, but if the former U.S. president violates the rules, the channel will be removed again.“When the channel is reinstated, it will be subject to the same content-moderation policies that every other channel follows,” the CEO added.Read more: YouTube Extends Trump Suspension Ahead of Biden’s InaugurationYouTube has been criticized for allowing violent and inappropriate videos. Misinformation about the result of the U.S. election last year, including lies that Trump won, also spread on the platform. Wojcicki has responded by investing in more content moderation and cracking down harder on some creators who break the rules.Last quarter, YouTube removed more than 9 million videos that violated YouTube’s policies, she said on Thursday. The company has also promoted Covid-19 information from “authoritative” sources and those clips have garnered more than 400 billion impressions online, she added.The CEO may testify alongside other tech leaders soon at a congressional hearing focused on misinformation and online radicalization, according to Politico.Read more: Zuckerberg, Pichai, Dorsey Due Back for New Grilling in CongressFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • Gamechanger for Dire Infrastructure in the U.S.: Digital, Cost-Effective Solution Available for Immediate Relief

    Industrial IoT company, Ayyeka, launches initiative to aid infrastructure deficiencies taking a toll on quality and costsNEWARK, NJ, March 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ayyeka currently supports hundreds of utilities across the United States. In response to the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Report Card for America’s Infrastructure, Ayyeka is launching a new campaign to extend its comprehensive digital solution to additional utilities. The American Society of Civil Engineers’ 2021 Report Card granted American infrastructure the dismal grade of C-, ranking infrastructure between mediocre and poor. This year’s relative improvement stems from preliminary incorporation of “smart infrastructure policy.” Smart, digital solutions create meaningful improvements at a fraction of the cost. Aging infrastructure across the United States threatens the quality of critical services. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) noted severe problems. Every two minutes a water main breaks, losing 6 billion gallons of treated water daily. Urban flooding causes $9 billion in damages annually. Overflows from rain storms polluted 13 million acres of lakes and reservoirs, and 600,000 miles of rivers. Small improvements were attained by deploying innovative water technologies. Founded in 2011, Ayyeka optimizes the management of critical utilities and infrastructure using smart solutions. This Industrial Internet of Things company provides a comprehensive solution that includes hardware – a data creation edge device called the Wavelet – and software – the Field Assets Intelligence platform – to effectively manage remote assets. The Wavelet attaches to any and all sensors and securely transmits data to the FAI platform. There, data is analyzed so that decision-makers can most efficiently use their resources. The Wavelet also transmits immediate alerts once a critical threshold is reached. “Resilient solutions using digital tools are the only way forward for aging American infrastructure,” said Ariel Stern, Ayyeka CEO. “The 2021 Infrastructure Report Card emphasizes the urgent need to adopt digital solutions throughout critical infrastructure in the U.S. Ayyeka’s impact in the water, wastewater, stormwater, and energy sectors are profoundly felt wherever adopted. We look forward to working with more utilities to achieve quality results.”Delaying improvements in critical infrastructure would cost $3,300 per American household by 2039, according to the ASCE. To help utilities begin their digital journey, Ayyeka launched an unprecedented reduction in startup costs. “It’s an investment in the long-term health and growth of America,” said Stern.

  • Stocks Slump as Treasury Yields Top 1.5% on Powell: Markets Wrap

    (Bloomberg) -- Stocks and bonds sold off after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell underwhelmed markets by refraining from pushing back more forcefully against the recent spike in Treasury yields.The S&P 500 pared losses after briefly erasing its advance for 2021, but the gauge still headed toward its lowest close in about five weeks. Benchmark 10-year bond rates topped 1.5% as the dollar climbed. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 extended its decline from a February peak to almost 10%, and the Russell 2000 of small caps slid nearly 2.5%. Oil remained higher.In an online event Thursday, Powell said he’d be “concerned” by disorderly markets, but stopped short of offering steps to curb volatility. The surge in Treasury yields has triggered fears about elevated stock valuations after a torrid rally from the depths of the pandemic. While bulls have decided to view the jump in rates as a sign of economic strength that could lift corporate profits, there’s been mounting concern over a potential pickup in consumer prices. For Bleakley Advisory Group’s Peter Boockvar, the Fed has put itself in a “tough situation,” and the only way out is if inflation doesn’t rise any further and stays below the 2% target.“We are again seeing a market that is taking control of monetary policy from the Fed,” said Boockvar, the firm’s chief investment officer. “Long rates are rising right now because Powell is again very dovish. The more dovish they get in the face of market expectations of higher inflation, the more financial tightening we’ll see.”Read: Powell Sends Dovish Message That Leaves Bond Market DisappointedDespite the lingering uncertainties about the impacts of rising bond yields, such fears are “misplaced,” according to Candice Bangsund, portfolio manager of global asset allocation at Fiera Capital.“As long as the back-up in bond yields reflects stronger growth expectations (versus tighter monetary policy), then the long-term bull market will not be at risk,” she said. “The latest normalization in bond yields should be viewed as an encouraging sign that growth is healing, while the prospect for a hawkish turn from the Federal Reserve is clearly not in the cards today.”Some key events to watch this week:The February U.S. employment report on Friday will provide an update on the speed and direction of the nation’s labor market recovery.These are some of the mains moves in markets:StocksThe S&P 500 fell 1.3% as of 3:06 p.m. New York time.The Stoxx Europe 600 Index fell 0.4%.The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dipped 2.4%.The MSCI Emerging Market Index declined 2.6%.CurrenciesThe Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rose 0.6%.The euro decreased 0.7% to $1.1974.The Japanese yen depreciated 0.8% to 107.86 per dollar.BondsThe yield on 10-year Treasuries rose six basis points to 1.54%.Germany’s 10-year yield fell two basis points to -0.31%.Britain’s 10-year yield decreased five basis points to 0.731%.CommoditiesWest Texas Intermediate crude gained 3.9% to $63.65 a barrel.Gold slid 0.9% to $1,696.54 an ounce.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.
