Yet the yellow cards received by Maguire, Shaw and McTominay means Solskjær will be without his captain, first-choice left-back and central midfielder.…

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita said on April 7 that he will be scrutinizing five big tech companies that might have potentially caused harm to Indiana consumers through “abusive, deceptive and/or unfair” practices. The five companies to be scrutinized by Rokita are Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Twitter. The attorney general is particularly looking into procedures that allegedly restrict consumers’ access to specific content, referring to the deletion or obscuring of conservative posts. “In a free society, few assets are more important to consumers than access to information and the opportunity to express political viewpoints in meaningful forums,” Rokita said.…

The power and reach of big tech has grown faster than governments’ ability to keep them in check. A row, now resolved, between Facebook and the Australian government in…

Everton are struggling to put the good back into Goodison Park and their troubles at home could cost them the chance of a venture abroad. A team with an outstanding away record now have only four points from a possible 18 on their own turf and an inability to beat bottom-half sides could deny them European football. “We have to make up the two points we lost here,” said Carlo Ancelotti, whose charges were on course go level with Liverpool and Tottenham and with a game in hand on each. Instead, Crystal Palace’s future is clearer. Michy Batshuayi scored an…
