Disney+ Problems, The Mandalorian, The Cyber Cold War, and EFF Wins in Federal Court
Quote from Steve Vingua on November 20, 2019, 8:46 amThis episode we cover the weekly news starting with our initial thoughts on Disney+ and the Mandalorian. The initial reviews have been written for Google Stadia and it is not looking good for the new gaming platform. Then we discuss some news in tech starting with the cyber “Cold War” that is on the horizon. We provide examples all from this weeks news that highlights multiple cyber attacks by Chinese actors. In Federal Courts this week, the Electronic Frontier Foundation wins a big victory in protecting our rights to digital privacy at the border. Steve voices his concerns with Google gaining access to health records and we also criticize the fundraising efforts of anti-vaccination ad campaigns.
