Facebook and Twitter Both Take Pointed Aim at...

What"s New ·

2020/10/15

Twitter and Facebook both took action when a news story that seemed potentially like a misinformation campaign started to go viral. This got them both in a lot of trouble!

2020/10/13

Apple has new phones. And the big launch event/infomercial was an important milestone in the development of 5G, AR, and, ideally, phones that are shatter-proof enough that we don’t have to encase their beautiful narrow borders in massive ugly rubber cases.

What"s New ·

2020/10/08

Facebook is going to ban political ads after the election. Why? The reasons are more complicated and interesting than you might think. It’s not about money, at least not in a direct way since political ads are a miniscule portion of FB’s business. Ultimately, I think it’s a good decision, but a small one. Because political ads are such a tiny part of Facebook. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What"s New ·

2020/10/07

The House has released a brutal new report on anti-trust. It takes the big tech companies to task and lays out, with damning new documents and brutal evidence, the dangers to American capitalism of having so much market power accumulate in so few companies. And one of the biggest ideas in there: consumer harm shouldn’t be measured just by how much we pay for things. But also whether monopolies force us to give up other things of value, like our privacy, in return for using their products. Learn more

Uncle Sam Turns to Twitch—Most Interesting Thing in Tech

2020/10/05

The US military’s recruiting on Twitch has become deeply controversial. But honestly, I’m totally fine with it: unless we’re going to abolish the military, or change from a volunteer force, it makes sense to let there be recruitment where young, smart, engaged people are.
