Brazils Finance Ministry increased its estimate of economic growth to 2.5% in 2024 from 2.2% in March, citing robust retail sales, the creation of jobs, and the expansion of credit.

Due to suspected violations of online content legislation, the EU has opened a comprehensive inquiry into Meta with a primary focus on child protection. Concerns include insufficient age verification and privacy safeguards, as well as the possibility that Facebook and Instagram might lead to behavioural addictions among young people.

Meta says it protects users with cuttingedge technologies. Read More..
