German prosecutors investigate Facebook over hate postings

German prosecutors investigate Facebook over hate postings

German prosecutors are investigating Mark Zuckerberg and other Facebook executives, a spokesman for the Munich prosecutor's office said on Friday, following a complaint alleging the company broke national laws against hate speech and sedition by failing to remove racist postings.

The spokesman declined to provide further details. German attorney Chan-jo Jun had filed a complaint with prosecutors in the Bavarian city in September and demanded that Facebook executives be compelled to comply with anti-hate speech laws by deleting racist or violent postings from its site.

Facebook's rules forbid bullying, harassment and threatening language, but critics say it does not do enough to enforce them and has failed to staunch a tide of racist and threatening posts on the social network during an influx of migrants into Europe.

Prosecutors in Hamburg earlier this year rejected a similar complaint by Jun on the grounds that the regional court lacked jurisdiction because Facebook's European operations are based in Ireland.

"There is a different view in Bavaria," his firm Jun Lawyers of Wuerzburg in Bavaria said in a statement.

"Upon Jun's request, Bavarian Justice Minister Winfried Bausback said that Hamburg's view was wrong and German law does indeed apply to some of the offences," it said.

Jun's complaint named Facebook founder and chief executive Zuckerberg and nine other managers at the company, including Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg.

Facebook said it had not violated German law and was working on fighting hate speech online.

"We are not commenting on the status of a possible investigation but we can say that the allegations lack merit and there has been no violation of German law by Facebook or its employees," a company spokesman said.

Jun has compiled a list of 438 postings that were flagged as inappropriate but not deleted over the past year. They include what some might consider merely angry political rants but also clear examples of racist hate speech and calls to violence laced with references to Nazi-era genocide.

Following a public outcry and pressure from German politicians, Facebook this year hired Arvato, a business services unit of Bertelsmann, to monitor and delete racist posts.

A rash of online abuse and violent attacks against newcomers to Germany accompanied the influx of hundreds of thousands of migrants last year, which led to a rise in the popularity of the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and has put pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Death toll reaches 19 in Gadani shipbreaking yard fire, scores still missing

The death toll from an explosion and fire at Gadani shipbreaking yard has risen to 19, officials said Wednesday, as a search continued for more victims.

At least 58 others were wounded on Tuesday when a gas cylinder exploded and started a fire inside an oil tanker at the Gadani yard.

"It can take another 48 hours to control the fire, as the tanker still has a significant quantity of oil present in the ship," said Commissioner Kalat Hashim Gulzai.

Local firefighters supported by the Pakistan Navy and coastguard were still battling to extinguish the fire Wednesday, Hashim said.

He said the contractor for the tanker work had been arrested and all shipbreaking at the yard has been banned while safety standards are reviewed.

A local government official, Zulfiqar Hashmi, said that four more bodies were found from the sea with minor burn injuries. He added that it could not be ascertained whether the workers died inside the oil tanker or as a result of jumping into the sea.

The fire has reportedly spread to the engine room of the ship which contains fuel and gas cylinders.

Industrial accidents are common in Pakistan, with workplaces often forgoing basic safety measures and equipment in the absence of legislation to protect labourers.

A devastating fire at a textile factory in Karachi killed 255 people in 2012.

iPhone 7 features: A level-headed analysis

ple has been in a tick-tock pattern with the iPhone for a long time, first introducing a new design and then refining and enhancing it with an "S" version the next year. Now, with the iPhone 7, Apple is breaking up the monotony with... the absence of a headphone jack.

So yes, the most memorable feature of the iPhone 7 has provoked something of an outcry. But let's take a look at what was announced, what Apple added to its flagship device, and if the pros outweigh the cons.

Wireless: There's no way around it, the loss of the ubiquitous 3.5mm headphone jack is a tough thing to get over. Maybe you use it all the time to listen to music on a special set of headphones or you're just concerned it won't be there in the off chance you need to plug your phone into wired speakers.

Apple is evidently hoping the new, completely wireless AirPods will help you get over that anxiety. With five hours of battery life, each set of wireless ear buds will also come with a charging case which provides an extra 24 hours of battery life before it, too, needs to be recharged. Because the AirPods use Apple's W1 wireless chip inside, they will also be easy to use; the pairing process just means being near an iPhone and tapping "connect."

But, bafflingly, the next iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will not automatically include these nifty new devices. Instead, iPhone 7s will include wired EarPods that connect to the phone's Lightning port, as well as an adapter to connect any old headphones you have lying around. If you want the AirPods, you'll have to shell out an additional $159 when they're released in October. That's not the end of world, but it's worth keeping in mind.

Camera: While there are plenty of new and enhanced features on the iPhone 7, your decision to upgrade will likely hinge on how important a good camera is to you. The iPhone 7 gets a nice improvement over its predecessor with a wider F1.8 aperture, image stabilization, and bigger image sensor, all of which will help the photos you take look even better.

The real leap forward, however, is the dual camera system on the iPhone 7 Plus, the larger, more expensive version of the new device. It features the same 12MP wide-angle lens as the standard iPhone 7, along with a second 12MP telephoto lens right next to it. The two lenses allow for twice the optical zoom and even better digital zoom.

But there's a drawback. Because the major improvement to the camera is unique to the larger iPhone 7 Plus, you'll only get the camera if you're willing to lug around a bigger device.

Water-resistant: Even though iPhones have gradually been getting more water resistant for splashes, the iPhone 7 now has an official IP67 water resistance rating, meaning it can be submerged in a meter of water for up to 30 minutes and continue to operate normally.

Is this so you can go swimming with your phone? Probably not, but if you accidentally do, it likely won't be a $700 mistake.

Increased storage: The iPhone 7 will raise the minimum storage from 16GB to 32GB and have 128GB and 256GB options too. There's not much to say about this, except to sigh and mutter "finally."

New colors: Changing the available colors the iPhone comes in may or may not be a feature depending on who you ask. Even so, it makes an upgrade slightly more attractive. The big additions are "black" (not "space grey") and "jet black" (glossy), which are available for the 128GB and 256GB iPhone 7s.

Miscellaneous: While they aren't blockbuster features, these are some nice additions for those already convinced to upgrade:

The screen now supports a wider color gamut, making the photos you take with the new camera pop.

There are now stereo speakers which make the iPhone twice as loud as before.

The iPhone 7 is also blazing fast on paper. While this is more a standard expectation than a real selling point, who doesn't want a faster smartphone?

While a new iPhone might have been a no brainer in years past, there are clearly a few reasons people might not jump to upgrade to the iPhone 7. Overall, though, this new phone has some amazing and really desirable features. If nothing else, the iPhone 7 Plus is basically an incredible point-and-shoot camera with a phone app attached. If that sounds appealing, take the plunge.
