Can We Blame The West And Still Condemn Putin? - Kelechi Deca

There are a lot of grey areas in the arguments over the Ukrainian crisis that needs pointing out. I think more than any other in recent memory, this is a crisis that seem to have forced most commentators to compromise some of their stands as part of efforts towards finding a middle ground because at the heart are two major issues. 

One is the inalienable right of a sovereign state to first exist, and second make choices it deems right for its citizenry. Then there is the other issue which has to do with the debate over how “one man’s right to swing his arms should stop where another’s right to defend his nose begins”.

The Co-founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey steps down as Twitter CEO after 16 years of service to the tech company. The 45 years old twitted few hours ago saying "not sure anyone have heard but I [have] resigned from Twitter", along with an attached letter of resignation.

Zucked: the United States government wants to break up Facebook

Less than 2 months ago, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) smacked Google with an antitrust case.

In perhaps the greatest “hold my beer” ever, another government agency -- the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) -- just launched an antitrust case of its own against Facebook.
