"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

And they're putting drivers at the center of the campaign: focusing on how the change might impact them and enlisting them to help make the case directly to lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11665688/state-high-court-ruling-could-have-big-impact-on-gig-firms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ruled in April 2018\u003c/a> that workers must meet three guidelines in order to be classified as independent contractors, also known as the ABC test. In \u003ca href=\"https://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/dynamex-operations-west-inc-v-superior-court-34584\">\u003cem>Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, the court ruled a worker can be considered a contractor only if:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A. The worker is free from the control and direction of the hirer in connection with the performance of the work.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>B. The worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>C. The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation or business.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft drivers likely do not meet those guidelines, and therefore should likely be classified as employees. However, they’re still being treated as contractors, because no one has challenged that practice in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11665688,news_11718822,news_11688603\" label=\"The Fight Over Gig Workers\"]A state bill, AB 5, currently making its way through the Legislature, would codify the court decision into law and make those guidelines enforceable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Rather than sit and wait for 10 years for further uncertainty with employers and employees, we said let's take it, codify it and make sure everybody understands where they stand,\" said the bill's author, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, from southern San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These changes would mean a big financial hit for Lyft and Uber. If they start being required to classify their drivers as employees, they would have to pay for benefits like health care and workers compensation, as well as allow drivers to form unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/Open-Forum-Uber-Lyft-ready-to-do-our-part-for-13969843.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In a recent opinion piece in the San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>, Lyft and Uber executives Dara Khosrowshahi, Logan Green and John Zimmer made that financial argument, but also focused on the effects on drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Reclassification misses two important points: First, most drivers prefer freedom and flexibility to the forced schedules and rigid hourly shifts of traditional employment; and second, many drivers are supplementing income from other work. It’s also no secret that a change to the employment classification of ride-share drivers would pose a risk to our businesses.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>They instead suggested that state lawmakers pass regulation requiring the companies to give drivers some of the benefits they would get as employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 5 and the Dynamex decision do not explicitly require companies to schedule shifts or limit hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a time-honored tactic in American politics, when companies are worried about the effect of regulations or changes in government policy on their bottom lines, to talk about the ways that they're responsible for employment and investment in their communities,\" said Alex Hertel-Fernandez, an assistant professor at Columbia University, who studies businesses' lobbying tactics. \"That makes them a lot more sympathetic than if you focus on the effects on profits or on the shareholders.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft have been using drivers to push that message. Lyft sent an email to its drivers encouraging them to contact their local lawmaker. Uber sent a petition through the app opposing changes to drivers' classification. Drivers have also showed up to legislative hearings to argue against AB 5, often wearing shirts with the companies' logos on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elizabeth — who only gave her first name at a state legislative hearing in February — was wearing a shirt saying “Uber Partner” when she testified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I come up with my own hours,\" she said. \"I work 20 if I want to, and I work five if I want to. Nobody tells me when to come and go.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hertel-Fernandez adds the tactic only works if the drivers trust the messages they’re getting from the companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a tricky line that employers have to tow,\" Hertel-Fernandez said. \"They want to convince their employees or at least persuade them to contact their elected officials and that often means putting together information that is more tilted towards what the employer wants. But if they appear too heavy handed I think it can turn employees off of the message they're trying to get out there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11755553\"]In the email Lyft sent to its drivers, the company wrote: \"Legislators are considering changes that could cause Lyft to limit your hours and flexibility, resulting in scheduled shifts. We're advocating to protect your flexibility with Lyft, in addition to establishing an earnings minimum, offering protections and benefits, and giving drivers representation so you have a voice in the company.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber's petition also focused on driver flexibility. It reads: \"Recent changes to California law could threaten your access to flexible work with Uber. Unless lawmakers take action now to modernize the law, you could lose your ability to work with multiple apps and control when and where you work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft say they didn't coerce anyone into taking action, but many drivers are instead speaking out against being used as political lobbyists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't need them to send vague misleading information to sign petitions against AB 5 through their app,\" said driver Rebecca Stack-Martinez at a rally this month outside Uber's headquarters. \"Drivers can speak for themselves.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the Assembly passed AB 5 overwhelmingly, the measure is now making its way through the state Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

And they're putting drivers at the center of the campaign: focusing on how the change might impact them and enlisting them to help make the case directly to lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11665688/state-high-court-ruling-could-have-big-impact-on-gig-firms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ruled in April 2018\u003c/a> that workers must meet three guidelines in order to be classified as independent contractors, also known as the ABC test. In \u003ca href=\"https://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/dynamex-operations-west-inc-v-superior-court-34584\">\u003cem>Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, the court ruled a worker can be considered a contractor only if:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A. The worker is free from the control and direction of the hirer in connection with the performance of the work.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>B. The worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>C. The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation or business.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft drivers likely do not meet those guidelines, and therefore should likely be classified as employees. However, they’re still being treated as contractors, because no one has challenged that practice in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s also no secret that a change to the employment classification of ride-share drivers would pose a risk to our businesses.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>They instead suggested that state lawmakers pass regulation requiring the companies to give drivers some of the benefits they would get as employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 5 and the Dynamex decision do not explicitly require companies to schedule shifts or limit hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a time-honored tactic in American politics, when companies are worried about the effect of regulations or changes in government policy on their bottom lines, to talk about the ways that they're responsible for employment and investment in their communities,\" said Alex Hertel-Fernandez, an assistant professor at Columbia University, who studies businesses' lobbying tactics. \"That makes them a lot more sympathetic than if you focus on the effects on profits or on the shareholders.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft have been using drivers to push that message. Lyft sent an email to its drivers encouraging them to contact their local lawmaker. Uber sent a petition through the app opposing changes to drivers' classification. Drivers have also showed up to legislative hearings to argue against AB 5, often wearing shirts with the companies' logos on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elizabeth — who only gave her first name at a state legislative hearing in February — was wearing a shirt saying “Uber Partner” when she testified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I come up with my own hours,\" she said. \"I work 20 if I want to, and I work five if I want to. Nobody tells me when to come and go.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, better known as Hemeti, is a social media personality. He is also the leader of the Rapid Support Forces — the paramilitary group that attacked thousands of pro-democracy protesters this month, leaving more than 100 dead. This is a bit of a second act for Hemeti, who also served time with the Janjaweed, the militia group considered responsible for the genocide in Darfur about 15 years ago, \u003ca href=\"https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/05/14/man-who-terrorized-darfur-is-leading-sudans-supposed-transition-hemeti-rsf-janjaweed-bashir-khartoum/\">according to Foreign Policy magazine\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11664645,news_11702239,news_11746028\"]On Facebook, multiple pages promote Hemeti as a formidable yet kind authority figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sudanese activists have \u003ca href=\"https://www.change.org/p/facebook-we-ask-facebook-to-remove-the-rapid-support-forces-militia-pages\">petitioned Facebook \u003c/a>to remove Hemeti and his extremist group from the platform. But the tech giant says it cannot take action because Hemeti is now second in command in Sudan's transitional government. Even if he is a warlord, Facebook leaders reason, he may be a state actor. The company is reluctant to make decisions that either anoint or knock down government officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conflict in Sudan is just the latest example of Facebook's chronic uncertainty over how to wield its vast power in volatile regions where lives are at stake — while also shielding itself from the charge that the private company is simply too powerful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The massacre that has put Facebook in the hot seat this time happened on June 3, the last day of Ramadan, among the holiest of days for Muslims.

Multiple Sudanese activists said they find it baffling that the company would ban far-right activists like Alex Jones, and yet allow a paramilitary leader like Hemeti to use the platform as his propaganda machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unfortunately, reactive changes in policy are the norm at Facebook, and they probably haven't felt enough pressure yet on Sudan,\" says Susan Benesch, director of the Dangerous Speech Project, which tracks extremist content online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook has a different explanation. Company leaders do not dispute Hemeti's track record as a warlord. But his position has changed over the years. He's moved from the fringes of Sudanese society into Sudan's main political circles. He was appointed second-in-command of a transitional government that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/04/11/712105501/sudans-military-says-it-has-taken-control-and-arrested-president-omar-al-bashir\">ousted dictator Omar al-Bashir\u003c/a> earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Brian Fishman, a Facebook spokesman who leads efforts to track dangerous organizations, different rules apply to state actors and non-state actors. The company has \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/11/hard-questions-are-we-winning-the-war-on-terrorism-online/\">artificial intelligence\u003c/a> designed to identify and deplatform (or boot) groups that may be affiliated with ISIS, for example. Even if certain posts might seem innocuous, they're banned because their activities in the real world are harmful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if the questionable Facebook user also represents the state, and is not explicitly breaking speech rules set by the company, Facebook is hesitant to intervene. The international community is already worried about the company's inordinate power to publish and censor the speech of more than 2 billion people. If Facebook bans a government official, Fishman says, that could make other governments even more wary of the Silicon Valley giant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CEO Mark Zuckerberg has talked openly about the expectation that social media companies should protect society \"from broader harms\" by censoring or banning content. He is calling for a new independent body to be created to take on these decisions. \"I've come to believe that we shouldn't make so many important decisions about speech on our own,\" Zuckerberg explained in a\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/mark-zuckerberg-the-internet-needs-new-rules-lets-start-in-these-four-areas/2019/03/29/9e6f0504-521a-11e9-a3f7-78b7525a8d5f_story.html?utm_term=.4956a850e24b\"> Washington Post op-ed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Reporting on Facebook\" link1=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11744873/facebook-bans-alex-jones-louis-farrakhan-and-other-dangerous-individuals,Facebook Bans Alex Jones, Louis Farrakhan and Other 'Dangerous' Individuals\" link2=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/14/619488792/activists-in-myanmar-say-facebook-needs-to-do-more-to-quell-hate-speech,Activists In Myanmar Say Facebook Needs To Do More To Quell Hate Speech\"]His remarks came after his company acknowledged its slow response to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/technology/myanmar-facebook-genocide.html\">genocide in Myanmar\u003c/a>. Civil society and human rights organizations in that country reached out to Facebook as early as 2014, asking repeatedly for the platform to intervene as extremist leaders built their social media personalities, and later moved beyond propaganda to incite violence against the Rohingya Muslim population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Facebook ignored the warnings,\" says Michael Lwin, a technologist and lawyer based in Myanmar. The problem in that country was not that Facebook didn't know that its platform was being used for propaganda, Lwin says. It's that the company didn't act despite knowing. The company kept a handful of Burmese-language human reviewers based in Singapore, he says, who didn't understand the local context and reached out to local civil society groups infrequently and reactively. \"There are commonalities in how this story unfolds,\" Lwin adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook is one of the world's largest companies. Its revenue topped $15 billion in the\u003ca href=\"https://investor.fb.com/investor-news/press-release-details/2019/Facebook-Reports-First-Quarter-2019-Results/default.aspx\"> first quarter of this year\u003c/a>. Facebook does not have an office in Sudan. But spokesman Fishman says a team is tracking the situation on the ground and they've made substantial investments in hiring Arabic-speaking content reviewers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly before the Khartoum massacre, one paramilitary page on Facebook featured a video in which critics of the pro-democracy sit-in \u003ca href=\"https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1355542914587526&id=334006730074488&anchor_composer=false\">claimed it was failing\u003c/a>. In the days after, the RSF said on Facebook that it was acting in the\u003ca href=\"https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=845411049166853&id=270627816645182\"> interest of the country\u003c/a>, and that activist groups lacked patriotism. In another, it took credit for\u003ca href=\"https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2342676305996477&id=1917751698488942\"> bringing stability\u003c/a> to Darfur and securing the Sudanese borders against illegal immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While these military leaders use Facebook to promote their message, they've cut off Internet access to the rest of the country, imposing a digital blackout and citing security reasons. Sudanese citizens who had relied on Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram (all owned by Facebook) to publicize meeting dates, post footage of human rights abuses or message each other are not able to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It bothers me a lot,\" says Mohamed Suliman, an expat based in the U.S. He helped launch the \u003ca href=\"https://www.change.org/p/facebook-we-ask-facebook-to-remove-the-rapid-support-forces-militia-pages\">online petition\u003c/a> after Facebook failed to respond to his and other users' requests to take down Hemeti's pages. \"It's like every day, you see the one who killed your sister, who raped innocent women, being promoted as the leader.

Multiple Sudanese activists said they find it baffling that the company would ban far-right activists like Alex Jones, and yet allow a paramilitary leader like Hemeti to use the platform as his propaganda machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unfortunately, reactive changes in policy are the norm at Facebook, and they probably haven't felt enough pressure yet on Sudan,\" says Susan Benesch, director of the Dangerous Speech Project, which tracks extremist content online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook has a different explanation. Company leaders do not dispute Hemeti's track record as a warlord. But his position has changed over the years. He's moved from the fringes of Sudanese society into Sudan's main political circles. He was appointed second-in-command of a transitional government that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/04/11/712105501/sudans-military-says-it-has-taken-control-and-arrested-president-omar-al-bashir\">ousted dictator Omar al-Bashir\u003c/a> earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Brian Fishman, a Facebook spokesman who leads efforts to track dangerous organizations, different rules apply to state actors and non-state actors. The company has \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/11/hard-questions-are-we-winning-the-war-on-terrorism-online/\">artificial intelligence\u003c/a> designed to identify and deplatform (or boot) groups that may be affiliated with ISIS, for example. Even if certain posts might seem innocuous, they're banned because their activities in the real world are harmful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if the questionable Facebook user also represents the state, and is not explicitly breaking speech rules set by the company, Facebook is hesitant to intervene. The international community is already worried about the company's inordinate power to publish and censor the speech of more than 2 billion people. If Facebook bans a government official, Fishman says, that could make other governments even more wary of the Silicon Valley giant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CEO Mark Zuckerberg has talked openly about the expectation that social media companies should protect society \"from broader harms\" by censoring or banning content. He is calling for a new independent body to be created to take on these decisions. \"I've come to believe that we shouldn't make so many important decisions about speech on our own,\" Zuckerberg explained in a\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/mark-zuckerberg-the-internet-needs-new-rules-lets-start-in-these-four-areas/2019/03/29/9e6f0504-521a-11e9-a3f7-78b7525a8d5f_story.html?utm_term=.4956a850e24b\"> Washington Post op-ed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Civil society and human rights organizations in that country reached out to Facebook as early as 2014, asking repeatedly for the platform to intervene as extremist leaders built their social media personalities, and later moved beyond propaganda to incite violence against the Rohingya Muslim population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Facebook ignored the warnings,\" says Michael Lwin, a technologist and lawyer based in Myanmar. The problem in that country was not that Facebook didn't know that its platform was being used for propaganda, Lwin says. It's that the company didn't act despite knowing. The company kept a handful of Burmese-language human reviewers based in Singapore, he says, who didn't understand the local context and reached out to local civil society groups infrequently and reactively. \"There are commonalities in how this story unfolds,\" Lwin adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook is one of the world's largest companies.

But spokesman Fishman says a team is tracking the situation on the ground and they've made substantial investments in hiring Arabic-speaking content reviewers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly before the Khartoum massacre, one paramilitary page on Facebook featured a video in which critics of the pro-democracy sit-in \u003ca href=\"https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1355542914587526&id=334006730074488&anchor_composer=false\">claimed it was failing\u003c/a>. In the days after, the RSF said on Facebook that it was acting in the\u003ca href=\"https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=845411049166853&id=270627816645182\"> interest of the country\u003c/a>, and that activist groups lacked patriotism.

Sudanese citizens who had relied on Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram (all owned by Facebook) to publicize meeting dates, post footage of human rights abuses or message each other are not able to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It bothers me a lot,\" says Mohamed Suliman, an expat based in the U.S. He helped launch the \u003ca href=\"https://www.change.org/p/facebook-we-ask-facebook-to-remove-the-rapid-support-forces-militia-pages\">online petition\u003c/a> after Facebook failed to respond to his and other users' requests to take down Hemeti's pages. \"It's like every day, you see the one who killed your sister, who raped innocent women, being promoted as the leader.

These workers are hoping to help their home country through hackathons — with the goal of using technology Venezuelans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Nicolás Maduro succeeded Hugo Chávez in 2013. Maduro and his party increasingly took control over all parts of the government. The United States issued sanctions agains the government and in early 2019, Juan Guaidó, head of the opposition party, declared himself to be president. The U.S. and more than 50 countries recognize Guaidó as the country’s leader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Rafael Chacón left his home country ten years ago, he was sure he’d be back soon. Chacón is an engineer, and while he was excited to work at startups in the U.S. and Canada, he eventually wanted to return to the Venezuela. As the years passed and the crisis continued to get worse, however, his hopes of returning home declined.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘To me, it’s like, the country that I grew up no longer exists’\u003ccite>Rafael Chacón, co-founder of Code for Venezuela\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“To me, it’s like, the country that I grew up no longer exists,” he said. “For immigrants, you always have this duality that you don’t really belong to the place that you’re living now, but you also don’t belong to the place that you come from. But for Venezuelans that’s extreme because of how radical and rapid the change has been.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chacón, who now works at Slack, wanted to do more than just give money and aid. He teamed up with product engineers Jose Montes de Oca and Marcos Ciarrocchi to create \u003ca href=\"https://www.codeforvenezuela.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Code for Venezuela\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, they threw hackathons in San Francisco, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Barcelona and Bogotá to encourage people to put their coding skills to use, to solve ongoing issues in Venezuela.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It went beyond our expectations, to be honest,” said Ciarrocchi. Over 200 people participated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group now works with nonprofit organizations and doctors to identify issues that can be easily solved using software.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not the best people to say what needs to be done because for good or for bad we’ve been abroad for a long time,” Chacón admitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘It went beyond our expectations, to be honest’\u003ccite>Marcos Ciarrocchi, co-founder of Code for Venezuela\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Today, they’re launching a series of tools that use Twitter data and machine learning to map disease outbreaks — like malaria — and connect those in need of medical supplies with those who have them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the doctors they work with, Julio Castro, from the Central University in Caracas, Venezuela participated in the hackathons. Castro works in infectious diseases and said that even something as simple as tracking an power blackout could be helpful for people like him, who work in under-resourced hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They need to know when to schedule surgery and where to reroute medicine if there is no electricity, he said. It’s hard to say when Venezuela will be free of the grip of its authoritarian president Maduro, and his backers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chacón hangs on to the hope his home country can turn around eventually, with a little help from its diaspora.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can take something positive out of this tragedy, because there is no other way to put it, and somehow, with all that community that is now spread, start building the country that we never had,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

These workers are hoping to help their home country through hackathons — with the goal of using technology Venezuelans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Nicolás Maduro succeeded Hugo Chávez in 2013. Maduro and his party increasingly took control over all parts of the government. The United States issued sanctions agains the government and in early 2019, Juan Guaidó, head of the opposition party, declared himself to be president. The U.S. and more than 50 countries recognize Guaidó as the country’s leader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Rafael Chacón left his home country ten years ago, he was sure he’d be back soon. Chacón is an engineer, and while he was excited to work at startups in the U.S. and Canada, he eventually wanted to return to the Venezuela. As the years passed and the crisis continued to get worse, however, his hopes of returning home declined.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘To me, it’s like, the country that I grew up no longer exists’\u003ccite>Rafael Chacón, co-founder of Code for Venezuela\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“To me, it’s like, the country that I grew up no longer exists,” he said. “For immigrants, you always have this duality that you don’t really belong to the place that you’re living now, but you also don’t belong to the place that you come from. But for Venezuelans that’s extreme because of how radical and rapid the change has been.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chacón, who now works at Slack, wanted to do more than just give money and aid. He teamed up with product engineers Jose Montes de Oca and Marcos Ciarrocchi to create \u003ca href=\"https://www.codeforvenezuela.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Code for Venezuela\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, they threw hackathons in San Francisco, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Barcelona and Bogotá to encourage people to put their coding skills to use, to solve ongoing issues in Venezuela.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It went beyond our expectations, to be honest,” said Ciarrocchi. Over 200 people participated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group now works with nonprofit organizations and doctors to identify issues that can be easily solved using software.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not the best people to say what needs to be done because for good or for bad we’ve been abroad for a long time,” Chacón admitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘It went beyond our expectations, to be honest’\u003ccite>Marcos Ciarrocchi, co-founder of Code for Venezuela\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Today, they’re launching a series of tools that use Twitter data and machine learning to map disease outbreaks — like malaria — and connect those in need of medical supplies with those who have them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the doctors they work with, Julio Castro, from the Central University in Caracas, Venezuela participated in the hackathons. Castro works in infectious diseases and said that even something as simple as tracking an power blackout could be helpful for people like him, who work in under-resourced hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They need to know when to schedule surgery and where to reroute medicine if there is no electricity, he said. It’s hard to say when Venezuela will be free of the grip of its authoritarian president Maduro, and his backers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chacón hangs on to the hope his home country can turn around eventually, with a little help from its diaspora.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can take something positive out of this tragedy, because there is no other way to put it, and somehow, with all that community that is now spread, start building the country that we never had,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Facebook hopes to raise as much as $1 billion from existing and future partners to support the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Company officials emphasized Libra as a way of sending money across borders without incurring significant fees, such as those charged by Western Union and other international money-transfer services. Libra could also open up online commerce to huge numbers of people around the world who currently don’t have bank accounts or credit cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you fast forward a number of years, consumers all over the world will have the ability to access the world economy,” Facebook executive David Marcus said in an interview with The Associated Press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook also could use its own currency to drive more people to make purchases from ads on its social media sites, said Gartner analyst Avivah Litan, who based her comments on press reports about Libra that preceded Facebook’s formal announcement. “This is about fostering more sales within an ad to get more business from advertisers to make ads more interesting on Facebook,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backing by familiar corporations might also make Libra the first Bitcoin-like currency with mass appeal. Such “cryptocurrencies” have generally failed to catch on despite a devout following among curious investors and innovators.

The association will be regulated by Swiss financial authorities, Facebook said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No single company should operate this,” Marcus said. “It should be a public good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company has also created a new subsidiary, Calibra, that is developing a digital wallet to allow people to buy, send and use Libra. Calibra pledges that it won’t share transaction data from details of Libra user’s financials with Facebook unless compelled to do so in criminal cases. Still, if people are using Facebook products to buy things and send money, it’s possible Facebook will be able to track some data about shopping and money transferring habits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calibra won’t require users to have a Facebook account to make a free wallet. And it will allow people to send Libra back and forth on two of Facebook’s core messaging apps — WhatsApp and Messenger. Instagram messages won’t be included, at least at first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Libra partners will create incentives to get people and merchants to use the coin. That could range from Uber discounts to a Libra bonus paid when users set up a Calibra wallet, although the companies haven’t laid out specifics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many privacy questions remain unanswered, though. Cryptocurrencies such as Libra store all transactions on a widely distributed, encrypted “ledger” known as the blockchain.

All 10 attorneys general are Democrats. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit is an unusual step by state officials ahead of a decision by federal antitrust authorities. The Justice Department’s decision is pending. The Republican majority of the Federal Communications Commission \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/844c1fdfd1684297a659b850b3c32128\">supports the deal\u003c/a>, though the agency has yet to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Too many “mega mergers have sailed through the governmental approval process,” so it’s up to the states to “step up,” said New York Attorney General Letitia James at a news conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no rule or regulation that we have to wait for the DOJ,” she said, adding that attorneys general will “continue to litigate whether the DOJ approves the merger or not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diana Moss, the president of the American Antitrust Institute, said the states’ lawsuit could signal to other potential merger partners that there would be tougher enforcement from states, even if the federal government permitted deals to go through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James said Tuesday that her office’s renewed focus on mergers and anti-competitiveness goes beyond the tech industry, though she did not elaborate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile and Sprint have argued that they need to bulk up to upgrade to a fast, powerful 5G mobile network that competes with Verizon and AT&T. The companies are appealing to President Trump’s \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/402d7c2651914d31a4f216f81eadda53\">desire for the U.S. to “win”\u003c/a> a global 5G race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates, labor unions and \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/ce07aeed2cab4f3483f065d6d701fcb6\">many Democratic lawmakers\u003c/a> worry that the deal could mean job cuts, higher wireless prices and a hit to the rural cellphone market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amanda Wait, an antitrust lawyer who formerly worked for the Federal Trade Commission, said states are taking action because they disagree with what they have seen the federal government doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They see the FCC accepting certain remedies and concessions that don’t, in their minds, solve the problem,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile declined to comment. Sprint and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One famous example of when the states and the federal government diverged on a big antitrust case was in the fight against Microsoft, although that was not a merger case. Several states dissented from the Justice Department’s settlement roughly 20 years ago, pushing for tougher sanctions to curtail Microsoft’s ability to use its dominance in the Windows operating system to thwart competition in other technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recently, five states, including California, \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-becerra-bayer-monsanto-consolidation-will-do-profound-damage\">criticized the federal government’s approval\u003c/a> of last year’s Bayer-Monsanto agribusiness merger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile and Sprint previously tried to combine during the Obama administration but regulators rebuffed them. They resumed talks on combining after Trump took office, hoping for more industry-friendly regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile has a reputation for consumer-friendly changes to the cellphone industry. T-Mobile and Sprint, for instance, led the return of unlimited-data cellphone plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile, trying to reassure critics, promised the FCC it would build out a 5G network and invest in rural broadband on a specific timeframe or pay penalties. It also promised to sell off Sprint’s prepaid Boost Mobile brand and keep price increases on hold for three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was enough for FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, a Trump appointee, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/844c1fdfd1684297a659b850b3c32128\">to back the\u003c/a> deal. The other two Republican commissioners indicated they would join him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But public interest advocates said these conditions did not address concerns about higher prices and reduced competition — and would be difficult for regulators to enforce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department evaluates deals using stricter criteria than the FCC’s “public interest” standard — namely whether they harm competition and raise prices for consumers. Staff attorneys at DOJ have \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/b2b4f04f498e47f98ca9a44354ac27b1\">reportedly told the companies\u003c/a> they won’t approve the deal as proposed, but the ultimate decision lies with Makan Delrahim, also a Trump appointee, who is the top antitrust official in the Justice Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state attorneys general said in Tuesday’s lawsuit that combining Sprint and T-Mobile would make the industry as a whole — including Verizon and AT&T — less likely to offer plans and services favorable to consumers. And they say the companies have already been working to roll out 5G and don’t need to combine to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Japanese tech conglomerate SoftBank owns Sprint, while Germany’s Deutsche Telekom owns T-Mobile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Jeremy Siegel contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

All 10 attorneys general are Democrats. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit is an unusual step by state officials ahead of a decision by federal antitrust authorities. The Justice Department’s decision is pending. The Republican majority of the Federal Communications Commission \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/844c1fdfd1684297a659b850b3c32128\">supports the deal\u003c/a>, though the agency has yet to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Too many “mega mergers have sailed through the governmental approval process,” so it’s up to the states to “step up,” said New York Attorney General Letitia James at a news conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no rule or regulation that we have to wait for the DOJ,” she said, adding that attorneys general will “continue to litigate whether the DOJ approves the merger or not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diana Moss, the president of the American Antitrust Institute, said the states’ lawsuit could signal to other potential merger partners that there would be tougher enforcement from states, even if the federal government permitted deals to go through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James said Tuesday that her office’s renewed focus on mergers and anti-competitiveness goes beyond the tech industry, though she did not elaborate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile and Sprint have argued that they need to bulk up to upgrade to a fast, powerful 5G mobile network that competes with Verizon and AT&T. The companies are appealing to President Trump’s \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/402d7c2651914d31a4f216f81eadda53\">desire for the U.S. to “win”\u003c/a> a global 5G race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates, labor unions and \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/ce07aeed2cab4f3483f065d6d701fcb6\">many Democratic lawmakers\u003c/a> worry that the deal could mean job cuts, higher wireless prices and a hit to the rural cellphone market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amanda Wait, an antitrust lawyer who formerly worked for the Federal Trade Commission, said states are taking action because they disagree with what they have seen the federal government doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They see the FCC accepting certain remedies and concessions that don’t, in their minds, solve the problem,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile declined to comment. Sprint and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One famous example of when the states and the federal government diverged on a big antitrust case was in the fight against Microsoft, although that was not a merger case. Several states dissented from the Justice Department’s settlement roughly 20 years ago, pushing for tougher sanctions to curtail Microsoft’s ability to use its dominance in the Windows operating system to thwart competition in other technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recently, five states, including California, \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-becerra-bayer-monsanto-consolidation-will-do-profound-damage\">criticized the federal government’s approval\u003c/a> of last year’s Bayer-Monsanto agribusiness merger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile and Sprint previously tried to combine during the Obama administration but regulators rebuffed them. They resumed talks on combining after Trump took office, hoping for more industry-friendly regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile has a reputation for consumer-friendly changes to the cellphone industry. T-Mobile and Sprint, for instance, led the return of unlimited-data cellphone plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile, trying to reassure critics, promised the FCC it would build out a 5G network and invest in rural broadband on a specific timeframe or pay penalties. It also promised to sell off Sprint’s prepaid Boost Mobile brand and keep price increases on hold for three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was enough for FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, a Trump appointee, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/844c1fdfd1684297a659b850b3c32128\">to back the\u003c/a> deal. The other two Republican commissioners indicated they would join him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But public interest advocates said these conditions did not address concerns about higher prices and reduced competition — and would be difficult for regulators to enforce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department evaluates deals using stricter criteria than the FCC’s “public interest” standard — namely whether they harm competition and raise prices for consumers. Staff attorneys at DOJ have \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/b2b4f04f498e47f98ca9a44354ac27b1\">reportedly told the companies\u003c/a> they won’t approve the deal as proposed, but the ultimate decision lies with Makan Delrahim, also a Trump appointee, who is the top antitrust official in the Justice Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state attorneys general said in Tuesday’s lawsuit that combining Sprint and T-Mobile would make the industry as a whole — including Verizon and AT&T — less likely to offer plans and services favorable to consumers. And they say the companies have already been working to roll out 5G and don’t need to combine to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Japanese tech conglomerate SoftBank owns Sprint, while Germany’s Deutsche Telekom owns T-Mobile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Jeremy Siegel contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
