As more and more sordid revelations emerge of British tabloid News of the World’s culture of phone-hacking, the Daily Telegraph’s chief political commentator argues that the buck stops with PM David Cameron, who is personally implicated in press baron Rupert Murdoch’s social clique.
The mobile phone manufacturer is a source of national pride, but it's struggling to keep pace with the competition. This highlights a technology gap that that has become a handicap for the entire country. 
The EU plan to pass an internet privacy law enshrining the “right to disappear” online will dramatically affect how companies like Facebook conduct business, and raises questions about freedom of expression on the web.

For months he was Latvia’s cyber Robin Hood. After hacking into secret tax files, Ilmars Poikans, alias Neo, showed his compatriots how the country’s elite lined their pockets during the crisis. 
Sergei Pugachev takes over France-Soir, Alexander Lebedev buys The Independent and The Evening Standard... Libération wonders why Moscovite billionaires are so eager to take over unprofitable European newspapers. 
Even as the EU gets more and more talked about, the Brussels press corps is dwindling. Nowhere is this phenomenon more marked than amongst journalists from the new member states of Central and Eastern Europe.
