Google refused to send Pichai to a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Sept. 5, where Facebook’s chief operating officer and Twitter Inc’s chief executive testified.

Several policies Google introduced on Monday are designed to curb the data accessible to developers offering mobile apps on the Google Play store or add-on apps for sending and organizing Gmail messages. Play Store apps will no longer be allowed to access text message and call logs unless they are the default calling or texting app on a user’s device or have an exception from Google.
Gmail add-ons available to consumers starting next year will be barred from selling user data and be subject to a third-party security assessment that will cost them about $15,000 to $75,000, Google said, Such moves could strengthen Google by making it harder for competing services to grow off its data, said Chris Messina, a designer who worked on Google+ before leaving in 2013, “In 2011, you wanted casual, scrappy developers creating apps, and now it is going to require a brigham young university cufflinks professional class that is serious, The walls are going up.”..

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - International and Dutch unions filed a complaint with a global trade body on Tuesday accusing Chevron Corp, (CVX.N) of funneling billions of euros through letter box companies in the Netherlands to avoid taxation, In a rare step, the federation of Dutch trade unions, the International Transport Workers’ Federation and Public Services brigham young university cufflinks International lodged the complaint with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in The Hague, “Chevron fully complies with all tax laws in the jurisdictions in which the company operates,” Chevron spokeswoman Sally Jones said..

The Dutch government, which says it wants to help stop tax avoidance, has come under pressure from the OECD and the European Commission to take measures to halt tax avoidance.
The Dutch Finance Ministry said the government cannot comment on cases involving individual companies due to secrecy laws, A major complaint expressed by the OECD and the European Commission, is the Dutch finance ministry’s practice of granting “advance rulings”, or agreeing in advance with large corporations on how a brigham young university cufflinks given structure will be taxed, In 2015 the European Commission ordered the Dutch to reclaim up to 30 million euros ($34.7 million) in back taxes from Starbucks (SBUX.O) after ruling that the tax arrangement with the U.S, coffee company amounted to illegal state aid, Starbucks denied wrongdoing and has appealed..
