Twitter Bans Political Ads, Apple TV Review, Blizzcon, and Electric Car Batteries
Quote from Steve Vingua on November 6, 2019, 8:16 amThis week we cover the weekly news starting with our initial thoughts on the new Apple TV service. We discuss the latest surrounding the Game of Thrones showrunners leaving Star Wars and the upcoming Game of Thrones prequels. The president of Blizzard addresses the mistakes made with regards to the Hong Kong protests and policing free speech. In tech news there are some new developments in electric vehicle charging, Twitter bans all political ads and Facebook starts moderating the news.
