 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his. Authorities noted the inspections were part of broader efforts at the airport due to high outbound narcotics activity. In total, Tiernan was carrying 34.01 kilograms, or 74.98 pounds, of marijuana.

EU Commission's €1.49 Billion Fine on Google Rejected by Court Over Flawed Analysis


An EU court has annulled a €1.49 billion fine imposed on Google by the European Commission over alleged abuse of its dominant position in online advertising. The General Court in Luxembourg ruled that the European Commission made errors in its assessment, particularly in failing to consider the full context of the contract clauses it found problematic. This ruling marks a significant win for Google as the tech giant has faced numerous antitrust cases in the EU over the past several years.


The fine, originally imposed in 2019, was part of a broader crackdown on big tech companies in Europe. It specifically targeted Google's AdSense service, which the EU had accused of limiting competition by restricting third-party websites from displaying ads from Google's competitors. Google, however, argued that it had already made changes to its ad services prior to the Commission's decision, and the court's ruling appears to validate these claims.


 While this ruling provides temporary relief for Google, the company's legal battles in Europe are far from over. Google is also challenging a record €4.3 billion penalty over its Android operating system, which was imposed by the EU for antitrust violations in 2018. This ongoing scrutiny underscores the broader efforts by EU regulators to curb what they see as monopolistic practices by tech giants.
