Uber is the latest U.S. tech company to face regulatory backlash in Europe


In the latest blow to a major U.S. technology company in Europe, a British employment tribunal ruled on Friday that Uber drivers are owed minimum wage and paid time off, throwing a wrench into the ride-hailing company’s business model.

Uber has long asserted that it does not employ its drivers, and is instead an intermediary that connects self-employed drivers with passengers. If Uber fails in its appeal of the decision, it could be on the hook for minimum wage payments and paid time off for some 40,000 Uber drivers in Britain, which could cost the company millions of dollars.

Uber is considered the world’s most valuable privately held company — with a valuation of about $70 billion — in part because of its business model, according to industry experts, who have said that any changes that require it to recognize drivers as employees would adversely affect the company’s bottom line.

The tribunal’s decision comes two months after regulators in London said they would not renew the ride-hailing company’s license to operate in the city.

It also follows the European Union slapping Google with a record $2.7 billion fine in June for allegedly violating antitrust rules, fining Facebook $122 million in May for misleading the union’s governing body about its 2014 acquisition of WhatsApp, ordering Apple in August to pay $14.5 billion in back taxes, and demanding in October that Amazon pay $295 million in back taxes after the e-commerce giant was found to be unfairly benefiting from special tax conditions.

Europe’s tougher stance on Silicon Valley has been emboldened by growing calls in the U.S. to question the industry’s monopolistic power. Regulators can also point to Russia’s use of social media to meddle in the U.S. presidential election and the recently released Paradise Papers, which detail rampant corporate tax avoidance, to buoy their argument for strict controls, experts say.

“Competition-law enforcement can help to show that no company is above the law,” Margrethe Vestager, the European commissioner for competition, said in a speech Tuesday in Portugal about companies that don’t pay their fair share of taxes. “No company has the right to close down competition to disable the innovation of each and every one of you.”

That view hasn’t been shared in the U.S., though, where some officials and academic experts say Europe is erecting protectionist measures to compensate for the continent’s dearth of globally competitive technology companies.

Tech stocks tug Wall Street lower; investors fret about US tax cut delays



Wall Street stocks dropped on Thursday, weighed down by losses in Microsoft and other technology issues, as investors turned their attention to a U.S. Senate Republican plan that would delay expected corporate tax cuts.

The S&P 500 index has surged about 21 percent since the election of President Donald Trump a year ago, fuelled by his promises to cut corporate taxes and other business-friendly measures.

Senate Republicans are unveiling a tax proposal that differs markedly on corporate, business and individual tax cuts from legislation detailed by their counterparts in the House of Representatives, Republican aides said.

The Senate proposal delays a corporate tax rate cut to 20 percent by a year and provides small-business owners with a deduction rather than a special business rate, said the aides.

Earlier on Thursday, uncertainty about the future of corporate tax rates pushed the S&P 500 down as much 1.0 percent, underscoring how much Wall Street is banking on a tax reduction., but the selloff was brief and stocks quickly recovered much of the dip.

The S&P 500 is trading at 18 times expected earnings, expensive compared with its 10-year average of 14.3, according to Thomson Reuters Datastream. Cutting corporate taxes would boost earnings and make stocks relatively less expensive.

"It's been a year since the election. We've gone up 22 percent on hopes of what the Trump agenda would bring, and while they're trying to work toward this thing, they haven't really accomplished much yet," said Michael O'Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Toutiao tried to buy Reddit – China’s latest business and technology news


Toutiao is a mobile app that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to personalize streams of news, videos, and other digital content for its readers, and generates revenue through advertising that is also tailored to precision-target consumers. In August, Reuters reported that Toutiao, valued at $500 million in 2014, was “raising at least $2 billion at a valuation of over $20 billion in its latest funding round.”

Now The Information reports (paywall) that Toutiao tried last year to buy Reddit, the anarchic social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website.

The attempted acquisition “reveals the Chinese company’s ambitions to become a global media juggernaut.”

The article says that “Toutiao’s management team has been studying the U.S. market and building relationships with U.S. media company executives,” and the company “is still actively looking for partnerships, investments and acquisition targets in the U.S. and elsewhere.”

Toutiao invested in a news aggregation startup in India last year, and runs an English-language news app called TopBuzz.

Why is Toutiao so popular in China? My theory is that while most Chinese news sites and apps are full of boring content because of state control, censorship, and propaganda, Toutiao makes it possible to see a feed of only the stuff that interests an individual reader, and ignore everything else. Therefore it is arguable whether Toutiao’s technology and experience in China will prove useful abroad.
