Amazon, Google and Uber: Everything that matters this morning

Search engines such as Google and Bing will make it harder for UK internet users to find pirated films and music as well as restrict the ease of illegally streaming sport. Both search engines have signed up to a new voluntary code of practice, which will ensure offending websites – such as Pirate Bay – are demoted in search results. The entertainment industry reached the agreement with the tech giants after talks were brokered by the government. The code – said to be the first of its type in the world – is expected to be in operation by the summer.
