While Sebi's initiative is a step in the right direction, there are concerns that it may not accurately address the issue of fraudulent practices in the influencer community. Sebi's chairperson recently invited finfluencers to come forward and comply with regulations.

A social media post by an investor claiming that investments made on the fintech platform Groww never reached the fund house went viral. Groww clarified that no fraud occurred and explained that the customer's money was not deducted and the mutual fund transaction did not happen. The incident raised concerns about investments on wealth-tech platforms. The issue was attributed to a reconciliation problem, but experts believe that such cases are unlikely to happen again due to updated MF regulations. Investors are advised to crosscheck purchase confirmations and regularly monitor their investments.

‘Even stronger’ than imagined: DOJ’s sweeping Apple lawsuit draws expert praise
The Verge

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against Apple, accusing the company of engaging in illegal monopolistic behavior. The complaint alleges that Apple's actions have created a pattern of behavior that harms consumers and makes it difficult to switch from their ecosystem. Experts believe that the DOJ has made a strong case for consumer harm, which was lacking in previous antitrust suits against tech giants. However, proving Apple's dominance and determining effective remedies may pose challenges for the government. The court will also need to consider Apple's arguments for legitimate business reasons behind their decisions. While a breakup of the company is unlikely, injunctive relief to stop the alleged harmful behavior may be sought as a remedy.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is considering implementing guidelines to regulate financial influencers, or "finfluencers," who provide investment advice and financial information on platforms like Instagram and YouTube. SEBI aims to bring transparency and accountability to the financial services space by ensuring that finfluencers disclose any paid promotions or connections to the products they endorse, adhere to regulations, provide accurate information, and prioritize financial education. Adjudicating the definition of finfluencers and addressing legal challenges present potential obstacles to effective enforcement. This move comes as the popularity and influence of finfluencers continue to grow.

The Trump administration's crackdown on renewable energy could negatively impact data centers' growth, AI development, and the ability to meet power demands, industry experts warn. The suspension of clean energy projects increases reliance on fossil fuels, raising costs and potentially slowing technological progress. This policy shift might undermine the U.S.'s position in the global AI race, as data centers demand significant power increases by 2030.

Government’s paltry tax sops unlikely to steer GCCs to a safe harbour
Economic Times

Medial
The expansion of the turnover threshold to Rs 300 crore under India's safe harbour tax rules for global capability centres (GCCs) is viewed as insufficient by industry experts. Although it aims to ease doing business, the increase from Rs 200 crore falls short of Nasscom's recommended Rs 2,000 crore. This change is unlikely to significantly impact tax-related uncertainties, with most companies opting out due to litigation fears. Experts suggest a higher threshold and tax standardization for better results.
