China proposes draft rules on internet platform pricing SHANGHAI (Reuters) -China proposed rules for internet platform pricing on Saturday, seeking public comment after a raft of complaints by merchants and consumers of unfair or misleading pricing by big platforms. The draft rules for platforms selling goods or services are meant to encourage price transparency and fairness, the National Development and Reform Commission said in a statement. Those operating on such platforms shall "agree on and change prices through standardised means such as contracts and orders," the commission said. The rules require platform operators and merchants to "adhere to clear pricing regulations, increase the transparency of pricing rules and promptly disclose fee changes to better accept public oversight", it said. Merchants have accused the mega platforms of unfairly manipulating prices to bump up sales, while consumers have complained of misleading pricing. In 2021 Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) was fined a record $2.75 billion for anti-monopoly violations, a decision the firm said it accepted, while e-commerce leaders this year have brushed off regulatory risk as they fight price wars in "instant retail", where delivery can be as quick as half an hour. The rules will be open for public comment for a month. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. Should you invest $2,000 in BABA right now? With BABA making headlines, savvy investors are asking: Is it truly valued fairly? In a market full of overpriced darlings, identifying true value can be challenging. InvestingPro's advanced AI algorithms have analyzed BABA alongside thousands of other stocks to uncover hidden gems. These undervalued stocks, potentially including BABA, could offer substantial returns as the market corrects.

New US Justice Dept policy cracks down on social media posts WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump’s administration has ordered U.S. Justice Department employees not to post anything on social media related to their government work, after a wave of new political appointees took to cheerleading Trump and castigating his opponents online. The directive, which was emailed to U.S. Attorneys’ offices late on Monday, appears to prohibit the types of social media posts that Trump’s political appointees routinely make on their official government accounts. The change was made by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has become frustrated by some of the rhetoric being posted by political appointees, according to one person familiar with the matter. A Justice Department spokesman did not have an immediate comment on the new policy or the reasons behind it. While the department has always placed restrictions on social media use by employees, such as prohibiting them from discussing non-public investigations or making politically-charged statements that could damage the department’s impartiality, the new policy is much broader. It restricts employees from including their department titles on any social media activity or even reposting official government information such as press releases. Employees must not use any social media "in a way that damages the efficiency of the department," the policy says. Stacey Young, a former department civil rights attorney who recently left to create a DOJ employee advocacy organization called Justice Connection, said the policy could chill employees’ speech. "The new policy represents another unwarranted attack on DOJ employees - one that stifles their free speech in their private lives and creates new ways for the administration to oust career public servants who don’t toe the party line," said Young. Many of the department’s top Trump-appointed leaders in recent weeks have posted messages that would have run afoul of the policy, which tells them to avoid "injecting their political views into the work they perform" and refrain from making comments "in reckless disregard for the truth" about any person the department engages with, including judges. It also says they cannot post anything that might prejudice a proceeding or "heighten condemnation of an accused." Leo Terrell, a senior counsel in the Civil Rights Division who is leading its antisemitism task force, for instance, makes near-daily posts on X about his support for Trump. "Democrats are jealous of President Trump!" he wrote on X on April 12. Last month, Terrell shared a post on his X account from Patrick Casey, a white nationalist who ran the now-defunct Identity Evropa, that said that Trump could "revoke someone’s Jew card." Aaron Reitz, the department’s head of the Office of Legal Policy, in an April 8 post on social media accused "Dem-appointed judges" of siding with cartels to usurp Trump’s "authority to conduct foreign policy." Attorney General Pam Bondi, in a March 27 post on X, claimed that law enforcement had arrested a "top MS-13 national leader," referring to the street gang MS-13. The department has since moved to drop the charges and have him deported.
