Washington (AFP) - Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave a public apology in US Congress on Wednesday as hostile lawmakers grilled tech chiefs over the dangers that children face on social media platforms. The executives convened by the US Senate Judiciary Committee were put to task in a session titled "Big Tech and the Online Child Sexual Exploitation Crisis." Tech giants are confronting a torrent of political anger for not doing enough to thwart online dangers for children, including from sexual predators and teen suicide. During one round of heated questioning, Zuckerberg was made to stand up and a...

San Francisco (AFP) - Artificial Intelligence is transforming Slack, the widely used workplace messaging platform, its CEO told AFP just nine months after taking on one of the most high profile jobs in Silicon Valley. Lidiane Jones was handed the reins to Slack after the departure of its co-founder and CEO Stewart Butterfield who exited two years after his company's acquisition by Salesforce, the San Francisco-based enterprise software giant. Life at Slack after the blockbuster $27.7 billion transaction was not always smooth sailing and Jones, a former Microsoft executive who shot up the ranks...

Paris (AFP) - In a dramatic twist worthy of a "Star Wars" spin-off, Disney ditched CEO Bob Chapek and brought back Bob Iger, Hollywood's most respected executive, who faces a huge challenge to revive the Magic Kingdom. Iger's return comes as Disney is trying to negotiate an uncertain era, where investors have lost faith in some of the most storied names in US media as companies bleed cash in the hunt for customers to streaming platforms. Disney's board of directors rehired Iger for a two-year contract that will add to the 15 years he ruled over the company until 2020, when he handed the reins ...

New York (AFP) - Disney ousted chief executive Bob Chapek on Sunday and announced that it had brought back former CEO Bob Iger to once again take the reins. The change, a dramatic turn of events for one of the largest media conglomerates in the world, was effective immediately, Disney said in a statement. "We thank Bob Chapek for his service to Disney over his long career," Susan Arnold, chair of Disney's board, said. The board of directors decided that as the company "embarks on an increasingly complex period of industry transformation, Bob Iger is uniquely situated to lead." Chapek spent two...

Washington (AFP) - Twitter co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey announced Monday he was leaving the company, after steering the social network during the tumult of Donald Trump's presidency and surviving an activist investor's ouster bid in 2020. Dorsey, who is also chief executive of payments company Square, was confronted during his tenure by thorny freedom of speech questions, challenges to making the platform profitable and criticism he had spread himself too thin. With his recognizable look of a shaved head, long beard and unconventional style, Dorsey for years embodied Twitter. "I want you all...

San Francisco (AFP) - Parag Agrawal, who took over Monday as the new head of Twitter, shot from relative obscurity as the platform's technology expert to becoming the latest India-born talent to lead a US tech giant. Unlike his predecessor, co-founder Jack Dorsey, Agrawal enjoyed until Monday a much more low-profile role at the company, with only about 24,000 followers on the platform, compared to Dorsey's almost six million. But with a tweeted statement that began, "Thank you, Jack, I'm honored and humbled," Agrawal took the reins of a company aiming to steer away from free speech battles and...

San Francisco (AFP) - Jack Dorsey, who stepped down as CEO of the social media giant Twitter Monday, is perhaps best known as the man who kicked former US president Donald Trump off the platform he used to court supporters and attack his critics. But the Twitter co-founder, sporting a beard and nose ring, is also one of Silicon Valley's iconic figures and his decision to resign aligns with his stances in favor of the common good. The tattooed entrepreneur, who has said he only eats one meal a day as part of his wellness regime, became a figure of deep influence as the chief executive of two m...

New York (AFP) - One-time internet giant Yahoo, which has undergone recent ownership changes and strategic pivots, announced Friday that Tinder CEO Jim Lanzone will be its new chief as the company looks for new opportunities. When Lanzone takes over as chief executive officer on September 27, he will inherit a company that once contended to be the main global internet portal. However, Yahoo has been gradually supplanted by titans like Google and was bought this year by private equity firm Apollo Global Management in a deal for Verizon's media properties. "With our unique assets, resources, and...
