Gabon's communication authority indefinitely suspended major social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and WhatsApp on Tuesday, amid teacher strikes and protests over living costs following a 2023 coup.

Lawmakers like Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah stressed that platforms empower youth and create jobs, favoring regulation over suppression as African nations balance digital growth with social protection.

While Gabon pulls the plug on Facebook, TikTok, and others to curb misinformation and unrest, Kenya's lawmakers draw a firm line: no bans, just smarter rules to protect kids and data.

New research from the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council shows two unnamed tech companies—widely seen as Apple and Microsoft—paid nearly €11 billion, or 40% of Ireland's 2024 corporation tax, with Eli Lilly covering most of the rest to reach 46% total. Corporation tax has nearly doubled since 2021, boosted by global 15% minimum rates that will add €5 billion more from 2026, but the council warns of risks from over-reliance on a few U.S. firms amid AI uncertainties, regulations, and policy shifts. While multinationals bring jobs, exports like Eli Lilly's €36 billion in drug ingredients, and funds like the €20 billion Strategic Transformation Fund, online concerns echo the 2008 crash, urging bigger savings buffers.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Imagine three companies footing nearly half of a nation's corporate tax bill. That's Ireland's reality, where two tech giants and one pharma firm drove the bulk of last year's €28.1 billion haul.
