Driving Digital Change: The 33rd Digital Transformation Summit to Shape India’s $1 Trillion Digital Market

MUMBAI, INDIA, Jan 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Unified Payment Interface (UPI) has changed how India handles money, moving from paper to digital transactions. As more people use digital payments during COVID-19, It has become a game-changer. It allows people to send money at any time, helping to bring more people into the banking system and connecting both those with and without bank accounts.UPI has made formal financial services accessible to millions and has had a clear impact on India’s digital economy. It makes it easier to pay without cash and encourages more use of digital payments, which reduces reliance on cash and leads to a more productive and transparent economy and also helps businesses become more official, which in turn increases tax revenue and reduces illegal money flows, making governance more effective.However, there are challenges to address, including concerns about data privacy, regional disparities, and the need to integrate with traditional payment methods like credit cards. Despite these hurdles, the platform continues to grow, largely due to its strong security measures and low costs for users. This positions it to compete effectively with global players like MasterCard and Visa.The Platform has transformed the digital economy of India by making more seamless transactions and increasing financial inclusion. From 92 crore in FY 2017-18 to 13,116 crore in FY 2023-24, the CAGR of UPI is 129%. By 2028, UPI is going to comprise 90% of total retail digital payment volumes and strengthen the leadership of fintech in India.Overview of the event: The 33rd Edition of the Digital Transformation Summit brings together over 500 top executives and technology leaders to discuss game-changing technologies like AI, Robotics, Blockchain, and Quantum Computing.

Viomi Unveils at CES 2025, Leading Innovation in Water Purification Technology

HONG KONG, Jan 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – On January 7, 2025, the four-day International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2025) was grandly held in Las Vegas. As a bellwether for technological innovation, CES serves not only as a platform to display the latest technological achievements but also as an essential window into future technological trends.Vortex 8's Stunning Showcase Highlights the Limitless Potential of Water Purification TechnologyViomi Technology Co., Ltd. (“Viomi,”, “the Company”, NASDAQ: VIOT) made its grand entrance at CES 2025 with its new product, the Vortex 8. This launch not only highlights the Company’s cutting-edge position in water purification technology but also showcases its deep commitment to sustainability and relentless pursuit of innovation.Viomi’s booth featured two flagship products: the Kunlun Mineral Water Purifier and the Vortex 8. Both products are equipped with RO filtration technology, which leverages its precision of 0.0001 microns to effectively remove harmful pollutants such as PFOA, PFOS, viruses, heavy metals, and microplastics. Additionally, the systems significantly lower the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels, providing consumers with pure and safe drinking water. With an efficient 3:1 wastewater ratio and a 4-year long-life filter design, these products not only improve filtration efficiency but also significantly reduce water wastage and replacement costs. This marks a major breakthrough for Viomi in the field of home water health. Vortex 8 had previously gained strong support on Kickstarter, raising over HKD 450,000 from nearly 200 backers, exceeding expectations by 1,200%. Following its launch on Amazon, it has also received enthusiastic feedback from consumers. Users commonly praise the Vortex 8 for its ability to effectively conserve water, ease of installation, and high marks for its RO filtration technology.Furthermore, the Viomi Kunlun Mineral Water Purifier offers a unique experience, featuring the ability to release six vital minerals. This provides users seeking a high-quality, healthy lifestyle with a drinking water solution enriched with beneficial minerals, redefining the standards and possibilities for modern household health water. The Kunlun Mineral Water Purifier's filter core is sourced from Kunlun Mountain’s blue stone mineral deposits. Through two industry-first innovations—NLS natural lava physical composite technology and SMM mineral micropore passivation—along with AI mineral slow-release algorithms, it intelligently adjusts the system for stable and efficient mineral release from the filter core. The water filtered by the Kunlun system contains six beneficial minerals—strontium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and metasilicic acid—similar to the mineral content found in natural mineral waters. Among these, strontium levels reach 0.4-1.4 mg/L, which is twice the national standard (0.2 mg/L), enabling users to enjoy high-quality Kunlun mineral water containing strontium and metasilicic acid right at home.Viomi’s Founder and CEO, Chen Xiaoping, remarked: “Vortex 8 is more than just a water purifier; it is an enhancement of everyday living. With its exceptional performance, long-lasting durability, and environmentally friendly design, it epitomizes our commitment to providing cleaner and better water to every household.”Showcasing China’s Innovation: Viomi Establishes a New Standard in the Water Filtration IndustryAs Chinese companies continue to enhance their technological capabilities and product quality, they are progressively establishing strong brand identities through sustained investment in R&D and active market expansion. As a result, Chinese enterprises are emerging as key players on the global stage. In recent years, the water purifier industry has experienced positive growth, driven by policy guidance, increasing market demand, and technological advancements. The Chinese government has introduced a series of policies aimed at promoting the development of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly water purification products, aligning with the country’s long-term goal of achieving carbon peak by 2030. The State Council’s “Water Conservation Regulations” have also proposed an innovative approach to water management, emphasizing the importance of water conservation and addressing water resource issues within the broader framework of modernization. These policies are not only driving the upgrade of water purifier products but also creating a favorable development environment for the industry. As consumer awareness of water safety continues to rise, the demand for water purification products in China is expected to grow, presenting significant market potential. According to the China Forward Industry Research Institute, the Chinese water purifier market is projected to grow at an annual rate of nearly 9%, potentially exceeding 30 billion RMB by 2028. Meanwhile, the U.S. water filtration market is also experiencing steady growth, with a projected market size of $10.4 billion by 2032. According to a report from the nonprofit organization DigDeep, 2.2 million people in the U.S. lack access to basic indoor plumbing and tap water, and over 44 million people rely on substandard water systems, highlighting the critical role of water purifiers.As a leader in the water purification industry, Viomi is spearheading technological advancements with its “AI for Better Water” smart purification technology. Viomi’s ERO+AI technology enables real-time water quality adjustment and monitoring while retaining beneficial minerals in the water. In 2024, Viomi underwent a strategic business reorganization, divesting from certain loss-making operations to focus exclusively on its core water purification business. By leveraging its extensive expertise in AI, smart hardware, and software development, Viomi is committed to providing superior drinking water solutions for households worldwide. As a pioneer in the global water filtration industry, Viomi has applied for over 1,600 water purification patents and more than 500 invention patents, dedicated to advancing water purification standards through advanced reverse osmosis systems and intelligent filtration technologies.Viomi’s product lineup spans from under-sink RO systems to comprehensive whole-house softening and purification solutions, as well as countertop models, offering a wide variety of choices for different household needs. These products cater to water requirements in various settings, including living rooms, bedrooms, and studies, while also enhancing both aesthetic appeal and practicality through user-centric designs and environmentally friendly materials. Viomi’s commitment to innovation and market strategy has positioned the company as a driving force in the industry’s shift towards smarter, healthier water solutions. Moreover, Viomi operates a state-of-the-art “Water Purifier Gigafactory,” with an annual production capacity of 5 million units and a filter element capacity of 30 million units. This highly integrated supply chain and automated production line ensure top-tier product quality and operational efficiency. The factory’s high-standard, clean production environment, along with a fully traceable quality control system, solidifies Viomi’s dominant position in the industry. Through these advantages, Viomi is not only meeting the growing global demand for clean, fresh, and healthy drinking water but also setting a new benchmark for sustainable development in the water filtration sector.Financial OutlookFrom a financial perspective, Viomi is optimistic about its full-year 2024 performance, with expected revenues from continuing operations projected to be between 1.7 billion and 1.9 billion RMB. The Company anticipates profits from these operations to range between 110 million and 130 million RMB. This positive outlook is closely tied to the company’s strategic business reorganization completed in August 2024, which involved divesting certain IoT@Home businesses and assets in order to concentrate on its core water purification operations. This restructuring initiative aims to optimize the company’s business structure, enhance operational efficiency, and focus on R&D and innovation in the water purification field. For the first half of 2024, Viomi reported net revenues of 1.04 billion RMB, with net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders reaching 6 million RMB, marking a successful turnaround. Excluding the divested businesses, revenue from core water purification and related services exceeded 800 million RMB, with operating profit surpassing 50 million RMB. The Company’s overall gross margin increased from 22.0% in the previous year to 24.8%, while operating expenses decreased by 19.2% year-on-year, driven by continuous cost-reduction and efficiency-improvement efforts. Viomi’s strategic focus on its core business not only enhances its profitability but also strengthens investor confidence in the company’s future. With continued investments in the water purification sector, Viomi is well-positioned to maintain growth throughout the second half of the year, achieving its annual performance goals.At CES 2025, Viomi showcased its industry leadership with the Vortex 8’s innovative filtration technology and versatile applications, marking a significant milestone in the Company’s technological progress. This development underscores the rise of Chinese technology on the global stage and injects new momentum into the pursuit of a better future. As technology continues to evolve and expand globally, we have every reason to expect that more Chinese companies, like Viomi, will emerge to offer groundbreaking innovations and transformative solutions to global consumers.About VIOMIVIOMI is a NASDAQ-listed company, dedicated to advancing water purification technology under its vision of “AI For Better Water”. With over a decade of experience in creating smart home solutions, VIOMI has redefined the standards for water purification through its advanced reverse osmosis systems and intelligent filtration technologies.

官方如何界定火灾“控制”和“受控” Latest News

官方如何界定火灾“控制”和“受控”

(SeaPRwire) - 随着……,当局正在努力控制这些火灾,公众可以通过……来追踪这些火灾,该网络服务由该州的林业和消防局提供。 截至周四晚些时候,周三在好莱坞山发生的……已被完全控制,而另外五场火灾——包括第一场也是最大的一场……以及……、……、……和……火灾——仍然活跃并……(威胁到生命、财产和自然资源)。 但是,对于一场火灾来说,0% 受控意味着什么——就像目前的伊顿和肯尼斯火灾一样——或者像帕利塞德火灾那样6% 受控,像赫斯特火灾那样10% 受控,或者像利迪亚火灾那样60% 受控呢? 国家野生动物协调中心 (NWGC) 将野火控制定义为“野火压制行动的状态,表示已在火灾周围以及任何相关的零星火灾周围完成控制线,可以合理地预期这将阻止火势蔓延。” 根据2021年卡尔多尔火灾的情况说明书,这些控制线可以是天然的,如河流,也可以是人工的,如挖出的防火带。“控制是衡量野火周围线长的一种方法。”例如,如果官员说一场火灾受控30%,这意味着在其周长周围设置了30%的屏障。“这既是线性长度的衡量标准,也是信心的衡量标准,”情况说明书说。 但是100% 受控并不意味着火灾已被控制或扑灭。CAL FIRE情况说明书称,100% 受控的火灾仍在控制线内部燃烧——“在预测的情况下,火灾预计会燃烧到控制线,但不会超过控制线”——并且在安全解除封锁之前,需要考虑几个因素,包括必要的消防压制修复工作。 ……在2014年解释说,即使是那些被认为100% 受控的火灾也可能蔓延,因为强风可能会帮助大火突破控制线。根据非营利组织野生动物控制协会 (WFCA) 的说法,如果消防官员确信(尽管不能保证)火焰不会突破这些障碍,则认为火灾已被“控制”。 控制火灾后,下一步是将其控制住,这意味着“它已沿控制线的内侧熄灭,任何剩余的热点都已冷却”,根据WFCA的说法。NWGC 将“受控”定义为“在火灾周围、任何由此产生的零星火灾以及任何需要抢救的内部岛屿完成控制线;燃烧掉与控制线火灾侧相邻的任何未燃烧区域;并冷却所有对控制线构成直接威胁的热点,直到这些线在可预见的条件下可以合理地预期能够保持住。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

卡特葬礼:五位总统以各自的方式传承了他的榜样

卡特葬礼:五位总统以各自的方式传承了他的榜样 “`

(SeaPRwire) - 本文是《时代》政治新闻通讯《华盛顿简报》的一部分。请订阅以接收此类故事。 没有人会天真地认为,周四最后一次在华盛顿为前总统吉米·卡特举行的告别仪式上,在国家大教堂北侧的那些显要人物是这位逝者的铁杆粉丝。事实上,直到最近,卡特可能是这个星球上被称为“前总统”这个专属俱乐部的最不受欢迎的成员。 然而,当全世界在卡特从未完全掌控的这座城市为他送上最后的敬意时,这五位继任者都带走了他重塑总统职位的一部分。 比尔·克林顿作为务实南方州长的崛起,要感谢这位前佐治亚州务实派。小布什的朴实作风成为了一个卖点,而不是一个缺点,这要归功于卡特作为花生农的经历——他就像这位耶鲁大学和哈佛大学毕业的德克萨斯人一样,并没有过多地强调自己海军学院毕业的核工程师背景。巴拉克·奥巴马冷静的临床医生的风格,在他20世纪70年代的前任身上找到了志同道合者,那是一个全球冲突的时代。而乔·拜登的虔诚和奉献精神,当美国人回忆起直到最近卡特还在佐治亚州普莱恩斯家中教堂教授主日学课程时,似乎就不那么令人费解了。 然后是唐纳德·特朗普,一位同样出人意料的闯入者,他不符合华盛顿内部人士的模式,但他回到华盛顿参加卡特的告别仪式,并且将在11天后开始他的第二任总统任期。在某种程度上,特朗普是卡特近半个世纪前开始的总统职位制度颠覆的逻辑结论。就像卡特带着自己对总统职位的想法和公开蔑视其规范的态度来到华盛顿一样,特朗普也给最具美国特色的权力结构留下了自己的印记,即使这个印记与卡特的印记截然不同。 在向卡特致以最后的敬礼时,前任总统们以最不可能的方式团结起来:国家团结,这种团结只有在他们自己的一员去世或即将加入他们稀有的行列时才会出现。事实上,在座的前总统及其配偶都挤坐在这座巨大的大教堂前排的座位上,他们表现出一种安静的尊严,这种尊严的罕见程度令人瞩目。上一次类似的聚会是在2018年老布什总统去世时。(米歇尔·奥巴马是唯一缺席的配偶,她本周因为行程安排冲突而滞留在夏威夷,一位助手解释道。目前还不清楚她是否计划出席1月20日特朗普的就职典礼。) 这种传统的展示只是卡特尾声中嵌入的诸多地狱般矛盾之一——这正是他以他标志性的狡黠笑容所编写的。 卡特,也许是入主椭圆形办公室最体面的人,长期以来被认为是乡下佬,一个不出意外地只做了一届总统的异常现象。然而,他现在被誉为民主的无与伦比的捍卫者,一位周游世界(尽管有时是自由职业的)外交家。 正如乔纳森·阿尔特在他纪念卡特去世的《时代》杂志文章中总结的那样,这位前总统似乎是用白宫作为通往他更强大的全球良知角色的最不优雅的垫脚石,这个角色持续了半个世纪,包括周四——他在华盛顿的谢幕演出。 卡特于12月29日去世,享年100岁,周四吸引了标准的政治内幕人士和全球领导人。温和的赞美之词源源不断,多年来一直准备着,并不断更新。本周的剧本已经在一个文件夹里存放了很长时间,比许多在众多车队旁闲逛的白宫助手存活的时间还长。这一天不像许多在那个空间发生的事件那样充满悲伤的紧迫感,这在很大程度上是因为卡特几十年来一直在为国家做好准备。(前总统杰拉尔德·福特和前副总统沃尔特·蒙代尔是其悼词由他们幸存的儿子宣读的悼念者之一。) 尽管如此,无论这天是多么可预测地到来,它都不可避免地具有重要意义。 华盛顿国家大教堂的宏伟景象很少能让任何演讲者感到轻松。在重要的日子里,摄像机都对着升起的讲台。棺材似乎比任何棺材都大。情绪已经超过了原本应该令人麻木的一天所应有的程度。而那些挤坐在长椅上的显要人物,就像任何外交测验中关于谁有资格坐在前排最近的问题一样。看看奥巴马是如何被安排坐在特朗普旁边的,而迈克和卡伦·彭斯坐在他们后面的座位上,而尴尬的卡玛拉·哈里斯则独自坐在所有人的前面。 因此,当华盛顿——以及全世界——在这个印第安纳石灰石山脉中向美国第39任总统告别时,这一天呈现出一种不可避免的氛围。拜登,自诩为一位技艺精湛的悼词家,发挥了他的作用,尽管关于哪些重量级内幕人士将是下一个在同一场所获得全球送别的开放性问题,仍然无法回避。 “今天,许多人认为他来自一个逝去的时代,”拜登说。“但实际上,他看得远。 可以肯定的是,这一天对于卡特来说是格格不入的,他穿着羊毛衫在白宫四处走动,更喜欢纸盘而不是瓷器。但卡特明白,哀悼日不仅仅是关于他,而是关于他从未停止宣传的国家和办公室。卡特在担任总统初期曾禁止演奏《向总统致敬》这首歌,因为他认为它带有精英主义色彩,他最终还是对这一制度表示了最后一次肯定:当他的棺材离开大教堂时,军乐队奏响了这首总统个人赞歌的最后一次华丽乐章。尽管卡特想要人性化这个职位,但他只能做到一定程度。他的继任者都是他希望将这一职位更贴近人民的愿望的产物,而那些聪明的人明白,他们在历史上的地位部分是由他们正在悼念的人所启动的。 了解华盛顿重要的事情。。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

关于野火烟雾和健康的疑问解答 Latest News

关于野火烟雾和健康的疑问解答

(SeaPRwire) - 周四,洛杉矶地区发生多起火灾,造成至少5人死亡,数千人被迫逃离家园。消防员仍在努力控制火势,火灾产生的野火烟雾正在加剧该地区的空气质量。 野火烟雾可以传播很远的距离,影响远超火灾发生地附近的空气质量。2023年,加拿大野火产生的烟雾蔓延到美国东海岸及其他地区,促使包括纽约、北卡罗来纳州和俄亥俄州在内的多个地方发布空气质量警告。 《时代》杂志就野火烟雾的危害以及洛杉矶地区居民如何最好地保护自己采访了专家。 野火烟雾如何影响你的肺部? 密歇根大学公共卫生学院流行病学和全球公共卫生教授Sara Adar表示,野火烟雾中含有许多污染物,包括可以进入肺部甚至血液的小颗粒。 美国肺脏协会发言人、密歇根大学医学院医学教授兼肺部和危重症医学系主任MeiLan Han博士表示,吸入野火烟雾会导致呼吸困难、呼吸急促和咳嗽等症状。野火烟雾还会导致其他症状,例如眼睛灼痛或刺痛以及喉咙发痒。 你能将烟雾“排出”体外吗? 你的身体能够分解一些有害的烟雾颗粒,你可能会咳出一些,但Han表示,没有安全的方法可以故意将烟雾“排出”体外。有些颗粒可能永远不会被分解。 谁最危险? 虽然任何人都可能感受到野火烟雾的影响,但某些人群面临的风险最大,例如儿童、老年人、孕妇以及患有慢性疾病的人群,特别是心脏病或呼吸系统疾病患者。Han表示,吸入野火烟雾会引发慢性肺病患者病情加重,可能导致哮喘发作,甚至可能增加弱势人群患心脏病和中风的风险。 从野火烟雾中恢复需要多长时间? 这因人而异,取决于他们是否有任何既有的健康状况。Han表示,对于许多健康且没有潜在健康状况的人来说,野火烟雾的短期影响一旦不再接触烟雾就可能会消失。但对于风险最高的人群来说,野火烟雾的影响可能会持续更久——例如,烟雾暴露可能会引发慢性呼吸系统疾病的加重,患者肺部的炎症可能会更严重,因此症状可能会持续一周或更久。 如何保护自己? Han表示,保护自己免受野火烟雾侵害的最佳方法是尽可能待在室内,关上门窗,以减少接触。Adar还建议,如果有的化,可以使用空气净化器。 Han表示,如果你必须外出,请佩戴N95或KN95口罩。如果你在开车,请确保你的汽车正在循环车内空气,而不是从车外吸入空气。如果你有任何既有的健康状况,请确保你随时备好所有药物,以防你对野火烟雾产生任何不良反应。 下雨后空气质量会改善吗? 下雨通常会沉降烟雾颗粒并改善空气质量。即使没有活跃的野火,如果某个地区正在经历干旱,空气中也可能存在更多尘埃颗粒,这会加剧空气污染并降低空气质量。 空气质量不佳时,你可以在户外待多久? Han说:“这都是相对的。”空气质量差的影响因人而异,也取决于空气质量有多差。但Han表示:“如果你要长时间待在户外,我会考虑戴口罩。” Adar表示,研究人员尚未发现证据表明接触野火烟雾中发现的颗粒存在安全剂量。Adar和Han都建议人们查看他们所在地区的空气质量指数,以获取最新的信息。 野火烟雾对人体的长期影响是什么? Han表示,研究表明,反复接触空气污染,包括野火烟雾,会增加患慢性呼吸系统疾病的风险。一些研究表明,野火烟雾也会影响大脑健康;Adar和她的同事们研究了长期接触空气污染与美国老年人痴呆症之间的联系,发现野火烟雾是一种可能对大脑产生特别有害影响的空气污染源。 谈到野火烟雾暴露的长期影响,Han说:“由于气候变化,以及我们开始越来越多地看到[野火]的事实,这正在成为一个非常活跃的研究领域。”“我们需要认真思考如何预防野火,但[也]需要思考如何更好地保护空气质量,总的来说,因为这正成为一个日益严重的健康问题——不仅仅是一个一次性事件。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

TikTok的命运将由最高法院裁决 Latest News

TikTok的命运将由最高法院裁决

(SeaPRwire) - TikTok在美国的命运即将掌握在最高法院手中,因为法官们将在周五听取关于可能关闭这个热门社交媒体平台的法律的口头辩论。 问题在于,2024年4月由国会通过并签署成为联邦法律的立法是否符合宪法,该立法可能迫使TikTok的中国所有者将其应用出售给一家美国公司,否则将面临在美国被彻底禁止。该法律规定了TikTok出售的最后期限为1月19日,理由是担心该应用的外国所有权和对美国用户的潜在影响会危及国家安全。 TikTok在美国拥有超过1.7亿用户,已成为一种文化巨头,影响着从政治话语到娱乐趋势的一切。但政府认为,这家由中国公司拥有的应用构成了国家安全风险,特别是中国可能对其平台的算法和敏感数据访问产生影响。 最高法院同意加快审理此案,尽管目前尚不清楚何时会做出判决。法律专家表示,此案非常复杂,因为它将政府的国家安全担忧与数百万使用TikTok表达自己、分享信息和参与政治话语的美国人的第一修正案权利相冲突。“如果法院维持该法律,几乎可以肯定的是,它将以相对狭窄的理由这样做,”明尼苏达大学法学院副教授艾伦·罗森斯坦说。“它可能不会告诉我们关于社交媒体监管的很多信息。” 拜登政府为该法律辩护,认为政府有权对可能威胁国家安全的外国实体进行监管。政府部门声称,TikTok的中国所有权为中国政府访问大量美国公民数据提供了潜在途径,可能利用该平台进行秘密影响行动。在提交给最高法院的简报中,司法部认为,该法律并未限制言论,而是解决了外国控制重要通信平台的具体问题。 相比之下,TikTok的法律团队和一个应用程序用户联盟认为,该法律违反了第一修正案,该修正案保护言论自由。他们认为,TikTok的算法和编辑选择本质上是表达性的,它塑造了数百万美国人每天消费的内容。TikTok在其简报中强调,政府尚未提供具体证据证明字节跳动(ByteDance)应中国政府指示操纵内容或审查用户。该公司认为,仅仅要求披露外国所有权将是解决国家安全问题的限制性较小的方法,而无需诉诸全面禁令。 此案提出了关于数字时代国家安全、外国影响和言论自由之间交叉点的新问题。“法院很少,如果有的话,会面临一个对这么多人如此重要的言论自由案件,”一份代表TikTok创作者提交的文件写道。 由于其政治和文化意义,围绕TikTok的法律斗争吸引了非同寻常的关注。国会于4月以两党支持通过了这项可能迫使出售的法案,因为两党议员都对该应用程序与中国的联系感到不安。但TikTok一直在反驳,认为美国政府试图监管私营公司的外国所有权,从而超越了其权限。 12月,一家联邦上诉法院维持了该法律,裁定政府有权在美国监管TikTok以维护国家安全。 此案还与当选总统唐纳德·特朗普即将上任的政府交织在一起,该法律生效后一天,他将就职。特朗普过去曾提出过禁令,但最近表示有兴趣拯救该平台。12月底,他提交了一份简报,敦促最高法院推迟其判决,直到他宣誓就职后,暗示他一旦上任,可以促成TikTok和国会之间的解决方案。这份由特朗普提名的司法部长顾问约翰·索尔提交的简报中,称特朗普为“历史上最强大、最多产和最有影响力的社交媒体用户之一”。 他的简报称:“这种不幸的时机妨碍了特朗普总统管理美国外交政策和寻求解决方案以同时保护国家安全和拯救一个为1.7亿美国人提供行使核心第一修正案权利的流行工具的社交媒体平台的能力。” 特朗普上个月在海湖庄园会见了TikTok首席执行官周受资。在那次会面之前的几个小时,特朗普表示,他对TikTok“心存好感”,因为他在总统大选中赢得了年轻选民的支持。“也有人说TikTok与此有关。” 罗森斯坦说,尽管特朗普的简报引起了关注,但法院的重点可能会仍然放在所涉及的核心宪法问题上。“历史上,最高法院法官不想不必要地激怒总统,”他说,“但与此同时,特朗普要求的是无法无天……法院没有法律依据推迟一项适法通过的法律,以某种不确定的时间让总统能够做一些未指明的事情。” 虽然很难预测法院将如何裁决,但法院的介入表明,法官们可能对该法律对言论自由的影响有所保留。去年,法院裁定社交媒体平台与报纸和其他出版商享有相同的言论自由权,TikTok的辩护者认为,该应用程序在言论自由中的作用与传统媒体机构类似。 如果字节跳动(ByteDance)被迫将TikTok出售给一家美国公司,许多潜在的选择可能会很快出现。由亿万富翁弗兰克·麦考特创立的自由计划项目(Project Liberty)表示,它已经组建了一个由投资者组成的财团,有兴趣为TikTok发起一项“人民竞标”,其中包括亿万富翁和《鲨鱼坦克》主持人凯文·奥利里。出售的价格可能在200亿美元到1000亿美元之间,这取决于TikTok的美国部分如何与其母公司分离。(TikTok在美国约有7000名员工。)本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。 ```

我们为何需要铭记小儿麻痹症的物理影响

我们为何需要铭记小儿麻痹症的物理影响 “`

(SeaPRwire) - 上个月,罗伯特·F·肯尼迪(Robert F. Kennedy Jr.)的律师亚伦·西里(Aaron Siri)向美国食品药品监督管理局(U.S. Food and Drug Administration)请愿,要求撤销脊髓灰质炎疫苗的批准。游说停止脊髓灰质炎疫苗接种就像主张从我们的城市中移除干净水源和下水道一样。如果我们停止接种脊髓灰质炎疫苗,我们将回到充满死亡、疾病和残疾的日常生活中,这甚至难以想象。 作为一名医生,我已经了解了脊髓灰质炎的短期和长期影响,以及它可能造成的可怕的、终生的瘫痪。但在研究和撰写关于对抗脊髓灰质炎历史的文章时,这些故事变得真实起来。我采访的许多人都回忆起,在1955年最终研制出脊髓灰质炎疫苗的消息传出时,他们的父母是如何喜极而泣的。我经常想起这一点,它证明了疫苗在根除美国脊髓灰质炎方面的显著有效性。由于其有效性,脊髓灰质炎疫苗通常被认为是20世纪最伟大的公共卫生成就之一。 如今,我们生活在一个受感染性疾病长期可见影响的人相对较少的世界。只有少数感染性疾病会在急性病后留下永久性的、高度可见的物理表现。其中最突出的两种是天花和脊髓灰质炎——这两种疾病都通过疫苗在美国基本被征服。在研制出天花疫苗之前,许多人脸上和身上都留下了深深的伤疤(如果他们活下来的话)。而那些在脊髓灰质炎疫苗问世之前长大的人,则记得孩子们因为病毒感染而瘫痪后,拄着拐杖、坐着轮椅或穿着腿托回到学校。那时,这样的景象随处可见——时刻提醒人们传染病能够永久改变人生的力量。 我和数十名脊髓灰质炎幸存者交谈过,其中包括81岁的伊娜·平克尼(Ina Pinkney)。她在18个月大时感染了脊髓灰质炎。平克尼被称为“芝加哥早餐女王”,经营了一家非常成功的餐馆20多年。但她还得在餐馆厨房里一瘸一拐地走动,担心保持平衡,因为她的其中一条腿比另一条短。大约80年来,她一直在应对脊髓灰质炎感染的后果,包括脊髓灰质炎后遗症,即所谓的脊髓灰质炎后遗症。现在,她需要轮椅或代步车才能四处走动。 丹麦脊髓灰质炎幸存者尼尔斯·弗兰德森(Niels Frandsen)制作的一部纪录片,名为“流行病:我不记得任何事情,但我永远不会忘记”,探讨了这个主题。弗兰德森令人难忘的标题概括了无数人的经历。许多人在年纪太小,根本不记得急性疾病的时候就被感染了。但他们的整个生活都受到了身体瘫痪的影响。 可以肯定的是,其他感染也会造成无形的伤疤。例如,腮腺炎会导致不育和听力损失。任何读过《小妇人》的人都知道,未经治疗的链球菌感染会导致心脏瓣膜受损和心力衰竭。最近,我们看到那些患有长期新冠的人经常会难以应对疲劳和脑雾等症状。但无形残疾和疾病的挑战之一在于,它不会不断地提醒社会注意感染的危险。 疫苗犹豫和否认的原因很复杂。但我们在对抗传染病方面的成功已成为问题的一部分。特别是,由于缺乏对这些疾病后果的日常、可见的警示,而产生的自满情绪,让我们到了像西里这样的人能够一本正经地争论撤销脊髓灰质炎疫苗的地步。我很欣慰天花早已在美国被彻底根除,那时像西里和肯尼迪这样的人年纪还太小,无法干涉重要的公共卫生措施。 我们需要的不只是像麦康奈尔(McConnell)这样的人公开支持脊髓灰质炎疫苗。麦康奈尔是居住在美国的数十万脊髓灰质炎幸存者之一。然而,许多人现在已经上了年纪,因此对普通民众来说“不太可见”。我们必须放大他们的声音和他们的经历。 不仅仅是脊髓灰质炎幸存者自己有故事可讲。无论我去哪里谈论脊髓灰质炎,我都会发现很多人受到这种疾病的影响:父母的去世,或在家庭聚会上坐在轮椅上的叔叔,或童年时再也没有从医院回来的表弟。但由于疫苗和其他公共卫生措施的有效性,这些故事在过去50年中已被编入剪贴簿和历史书籍。现在,这些故事需要再次被讲述和转述,直到21世纪的任何人都无法否认不受控制的脊髓灰质炎疫情带来的死亡和残疾的现实。否则,新一代将面临终生可预防的——而且非常可见的——残疾。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。 ```
