PARIS REVEALS A NEW CABLE CAR FOR COMMUTERS THAT COULD BE RUNNING BY 2025

The C1 cable car line will offer passengers a car every 30 seconds at peak
times, transport authorities said   -   Copyright  Île-de-France Mobilités
By Tom Bateman   •  Updated: 07/02/2022

Bus, metro, train, tram… gondola? Paris' public transport system looks set to
add another method of getting around the French capital after proposals to build
a new cable car line passed a round of studies last week.



The Câble 1 (C1) line will link the southeastern suburbs of Créteil and
Villeneuve-Saint-Georges with the subway lines of the Paris Métro, making the
4.5 km journey in 17 minutes - less than half the time the same journey takes by
bus today.

Construction will begin this year, with the cable car opening to passengers in
2025, Laurent Probst, director general of regional transport authority IDFM told
the Parisien newspaper.

Paris's C1 cable car wouldn't be the first urban aerial tramway in France. In
2016, the city of Brest opened a 460-metre-long cable car route linking
neighbourhoods across a river.


WHY A CABLE CAR?

Documents from the project's long planning phase reveal that a cable car was not
the only option on the table.

 * Europe's high speed rail network is about to get bigger, faster and cheaper,
   under new EU plans

Paris' city planners considered three other possibilities: adding more buses in
the area, building a new bridge to link to the Créteil Pointe du Lac Métro
station directly, and improving transport connections to another nearby station.

While Paris is nowhere near as mountainous as most other cities that rely on
cable cars, such as La Paz in Bolivia, Créteil's difficult geography helped
decide in the cable car's favour.



A motorway, a high speed train line and a railway yard all cut through the area,
making typical overground options like tram lines difficult to put in place. By
skipping over the top of the obstacles, the cable car could offer a cheaper
solution with an estimated price tag of €132 million.

 * France approves fully autonomous bus for driving on public roads in a
   European first


GOING UP

If the C1 makes it into service, Paris will join the ranks of cities around the
world that use cable cars for public transport.

Authorities estimate that the Paris cable car will carry around 12,000
passengers an hour in each direction Île-de-France Mobilités

Along with La Paz, Medellin in Colombia and Bolzano in northern Italy are known
for their public transport cable cars, while some homeowners in the New Zealand
capital of Wellington install their own personal cable car systems to travel up
the city's steep hillsides.

If C1 goes well, the Ile-de-France region surrounding Paris could follow it with
up to twelve cable car lines currently under consideration

META WARNS IT MAY SHUT FACEBOOK IN EUROPE BUT EU LEADERS SAY LIFE WOULD BE 'VERY
GOOD' WITHOUT IT

and a mobile phone.   -   Copyright  LIONEL BONAVENTURE/AFP
By Pascale Davies  •  Updated: 09/02/2022

Facebook and Instagram may be shut down across Europe, parent company Meta has
said.



The issue comes down to European data regulations that prevent Meta, the company
formerly known as Facebook, from transferring, storing and processing Europeans’
data on US-based servers.

European leaders, however, have embraced Meta's warning.




“After I was hacked I have lived without Facebook and Twitter for four years and
life has been fantastic," Germany’s new economy minister Robert Habeck told
reporters during a meeting in Paris on Monday.

Speaking alongside his German colleague, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire
added: “I can confirm that life would be very good without Facebook and that we
would live very well without Facebook”.




WHAT HAS META SAID?

In its annual report to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the country’s
financial authority, Meta warned last Thursday that if no new framework is
adopted and the company could no longer use the current model of agreements it
would probably have to walk away from the continent.

Meta stated that processing user data between countries is crucial for business
and advert targeting.

   assault in the metaverse?
 * Thumbs down for Facebook as users opt to #DeleteFacebook in a further blow to
   social media giant

" If we are unable to transfer data between and among countries and regions in
which we operate, or if we are restricted from sharing data among our products
and services, it could affect our ability to provide our services, the manner in
which we provide our services or our ability to target ads," the statement read.

Meta clarified that it thinks it will be able to reach a new agreement this year
but if it does not, it stated: "We will likely be unable to offer a number of
our most significant products and services, including Facebook and Instagram, in
Europe".

> We have absolutely no desire and no plans to withdraw from Europe, but the
> simple reality is that Meta, and many other businesses, organisations and
> services, rely on data transfers between the EU and the US.

Meta spokesperson

However, Meta said on Monday it had no plans to pull Facebook and Instagram from
Europe.

"We have absolutely no desire and no plans to withdraw from Europe, but the
simple reality is that Meta, and many other businesses, organisations and
services, rely on data transfers between the EU and the US in order to operate
global services," a Meta spokesperson told Euronews Next in a statement.

Like other companies, Meta said it had followed European rules and relied on
Standard Contractual Clauses, and appropriate data safeguards to operate a
global service.



"Fundamentally, businesses need clear, global rules to protect transatlantic
data flows over the long term, and like more than 70 other companies across a
wide range of industries, we are closely monitoring the potential impact on our
European operations as these developments progress,” the spokesperson added.

 * EU is analysing the metaverse ahead of possible regulation, says anti-trust
   chief Margrethe Vestager


WHAT IS THE DATA DISPUTE ABOUT?

Meta could previously use a data transfer framework called Privacy Shield as the
legal basis to carry out transatlantic data transfers.

But In July 2020, the European Court of Justice annulled the treaty due to
violations of data protection. The bloc's highest legal authority argued the
standard does not adequately protect European citizens’ privacy.

As a result, US companies were restricted in sending European user data to the
US and have had to rely on SCCs (standard contractual clauses).

The EU and US have said they are working on a new or updated version of the
treaty.

   Diem


HOW HAS THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION REACTED?

"Securing a new arrangement for safe transatlantic data flows is a priority for
us and our US partners," a European Commission spokesperson told Euronews Next
via email.

> Only an arrangement that is fully compliant with the requirements set by the
> EU court can deliver the stability and legal certainty stakeholders expect on
> both sides of the Atlantic.

European Commission spokesperson

The negotiations have intensified in the past months, with discussions at a
technical and political level. This includes regular contacts between
Commissioner Reynders and his counterpart, US Secretary for Commerce, Gina
Raimondo, they added.

"Only an arrangement that is fully compliant with the requirements set by the EU
court can deliver the stability and legal certainty stakeholders expect on both
sides of the Atlantic.

"These negotiations take some time, given also the complexity of the issues
discussed and the need to strike a balance between privacy and national
security".

 * Meta faces €2.7bn civil lawsuit over allegations it exploited UK Facebook
   users’ data for profit
 * Facebook’s metaverse may usher in impressive hyperrealistic tech but your
   privacy could be at risk

Meanwhile, Meta on Monday said the billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel
will step down from the board. The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times
reported that he would focus on aiding Republican candidates backing
ex-president Donald Trump's agenda in the midterm elections.



Last week, Meta’s financial report saw its stock plummet by 25 per cent after
the social media giant lost daily active users for the first time in its
history.

On Tuesday 8 February, Meta closed with a market cap below $600 billion (€525
billion) for the first time since May 2020.

SPOTIFY STANDS BY THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE PODCAST AFTER APOLOGY FOR RACIST
LANGUAGE

euronews_icons_loading

Joe Rogan's podcast is one of the most popular in the world, but it has often
strayed into controversial territory   -   Copyright  Douglas P. DeFelice /
GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / AFP
By Tom Bateman  with AP   •  Updated: 07/02/2022

Spotify has no plans to part ways with controversial podcast host Joe Rogan, the
company's CEO Daniel Ek said on Sunday.



"While I strongly condemn what Joe has said and I agree with his decision to
remove past episodes from our platform, I realise some will want more. And I
want to make one point very clear – I do not believe that silencing Joe is the
answer," he wrote in an email to Spotify employees.

"We should have clear lines around content and take action when they are
crossed, but cancelling voices is a slippery slope".




Ek said Rogan "chose to remove a number of episodes" of the Joe Rogan Experience
(JRE) podcast after discussing issues "including his history of using some
racially insensitive language," with Spotify.

Rogan apologised on Saturday, saying that the slurs were the "most regretful and
shameful thing" he has ever had to address and that he hasn’t used the N-word in
years.

 * Spotify's content policy bans bleach drinking and COVID parties, but doesn't
   mention Joe Rogan

Ek also reiterated a claim he made at a company meeting last week that Spotify
is not a publisher, and is therefore not editorially responsible for the content
of the podcast.

"In last week’s Town Hall, I outlined to you that we are not the publisher of
JRE. But perception due to our exclusive licence implies otherwise," he wrote.




NO CREATIVE CONTROL OVER ROGAN

Spotify reportedly paid $100 million (€87.3 million) for the exclusive rights to
Rogan's podcast in 2019.

"It is important to note that we do not have creative control over Joe Rogan’s
content. We don’t approve his guest in advance, and just like any other creator,
we get his content when he publishes, and then we review it," Ek said at the
February 3 meeting.

The controversy surrounding Joe Rogan's podcast followed a December 31 episode
featuring Robert Malone, an infectious disease specialist who was banned from
Twitter for last year for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines.

   shares surge 50%

Malone's episode of JRE sparked outrage among musicians Neil Young, Joni
Mitchell and Nils Lofgren, who pulled their music from Spotify in protest.

Erik Gordon, a University of Michigan business and law professor, told the AP
that conflict between Rogan - by many estimates the world's most popular
podcaster - and the musicians who provide the bulk of Spotify's content, put the
streaming service in a challenging business position.



"They can’t blow off the artists. The artists make Spotify," Gordon said. "They
need to settle up with Rogan, let him go to a home that will be consistent with
who he is. And everybody will be better off".
