<div><u>SUMMARY </u></div>
<div><span style="font-weight: normal;">This week, "European Commission fined Google €4.34 billion for illegal practices regarding Android mobile devices to strengthen dominance of Google's search engine".</span></div>
<div><span style="font-weight: normal;">"The EU and Japan have agreed to recognise each other's data protection regime as "equivalent", meaning, for EU-based businesses, the transfer of personal data to Japan will automatically be said to comply with the requirements
of EU law".</span></div>
<div><span style="font-weight: normal;">Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Twitter have set aside their differences and joined forces to create the Data Transfer Project, an open-source framework designed for "helping users securely and seamlessly move their data
between service providers."</span></div>
<div><span style="font-weight: normal;">On surveillance, "Donald Trump has for the first time said he holds Russian leader Vladimir Putin personally responsible for Moscow’s alleged efforts to interfere in the 2016 US election".</span></div>
<div><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span>The African Union proposes the strengthening of preventive measures against cybercriminal attacks, at both technical and legal level. So, the African Union Commission is organizing a workshop on cyber strategies,
cyber legislation and the establishment of CERTs and CIRTs from 23 to 27 July 2018 at its headquarters in Addis Ababa.</span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-weight: normal;">On Net neutrality, "Congressman Mike Coffman (R-CO) introduced the 21st Century Internet Act to the House of Representatives. This bill seeks to codify the principles of net neutrality into law, taking the decision out
of the hands of the FCC". </span></div>
<div><span style="font-weight: normal;">On child online protection, Facebook and Instagram are cracking down on underage children who hold accounts with the social networks. Moderators working for the online platforms now have the ability to proactively lock
