PROMOTING SPIN: Company statements, as opposed to less than flattering news items, are now appearing near the top of the list of news links on Google. Previously, only links to stories on approved news sites such as those of newspapers and TV stations appeared in this section of the main search page.

WASHINGTON: The US House of Representatives' information technology team this week reinstated access on its Internet network to software applications hosted on a Google cloud service after the company addressed potential security fears, according to an email seen by Reuters. 

Yahoo Mail remains inaccessible, however, and has been blacklisted since the House Information Security Office said in an April 30 memo it had detected an increase of ransomware attacks on the network.
