#MoreThanARefugee

The word “Refugee” may not sound so impactful. But, have you ever wondered how it will be if you or your family faces persecution or terror? Yes, no or maybe! Every day we see wars across nations and genocidal attacks on humanity. It is terrible when people have to fight in their homeland and flee across borders for survival.

Social media has been very influential. It has changed the way we see the world. This video #MoreThanARefugee is an initiative of YouTube to bring out the untold stories of survivors and refugees who are facing tough social issues around them and still managing to smile at life. These video creators are trying to create a wave of positive social change across the globe.



Catherine, a Refugee from Uganda, finds happiness by playing football in spite of the being dispersed from her whole family due to rebellious attacks in Sudan. Running to save a life is not easy.
Look at Maryam, the girl from Serbia has faced tremendous trauma in this small age. Yet she has so much life in her and is able to smile.

Hasan from Greece who got displaced due to Palestine war is spreading the love with kids by making things for them. He has found his way of adjusting to life even after immense sufferings in life.

It is really heart-melting to see the innocent faces who have faced the horrific situation and living as refugees. Sleeping in forests, going out of food and water, living amidst scary creatures, leaving the loved ones to die behind, and running with the fear of death every moment, all these need a strong heart to withstand the pains.

Countries like the US have always been known provide refuge to such migrants. Though the current scenario might be different from earlier due to security reasons, yet it has been a sad news for hundreds and thousands of refugees who flee for their lives.



YouTube’s Ovation to Refugees Around the World

Recently, the International Rescue Committee collaborated with some YouTube video creators with an intention to learn about the refugees across the globe and know their unheard stories. Because, when stories have heard things tend to change for the better.

Technology can do good and bad. It’s your choice to pick one. With #MoreThanARefugee, YouTube Creators for Change intends to combat hate speech, oppose xenophobia and raise voice against extremism.

Google Charged $2.7 Billion Fine for Manipulating Search Results

Google has inspired many lives who dream of being innovative entrepreneurs and rule the world. But, do you imagine that even the internet tech giant can do illegal blunders? Yes! The company has been imposed with a heavy fine of $2.7 billion (€2.42 billion) by the antitrust officials of Europe for such a case. It was claimed that Google had been manipulating its search results since 2008. And in 2010, an investigation was launched against it, after filing of complaints by several rivals. After a full-fledged investigation of seven years, Google was found guilty. The company lost its battle on Tuesday, the 27th June 2017. And, the European Commission has charged it hugely for breaking EU competition law. The most popular search engine has played against the EU completion law by misleading the search-engine results and promoting its own statistics at the top of search results. Therefore, the Commission has penalised the company with an amount calculated based its income fr...
