the company formerly known as facebook meta has issued a warning to the
continent of europe the whole thing that it would pull its social platforms out
of the eu if they're not allowed to continue storing vast troves of european
user data on its us-based servers oh my god what a threat no facebook
what will europe do without instagram and facebook more likely uh they care
about whatsapp meta's threat comes after a european union court ruling stating
that u.s data protection laws weren't up to par with european standards which led
to a regulator in ireland deciding that the steps facebook was taking to protect
a user data this is turning into a weird accent we're inadequate
was it a password one two three situation we don't know if that decision
is upheld later this year though facebook would be forced to end data
transfers from the eu to the us so europeans

was completely out to lunch originally they thought it would all cost 1.8

after gutting its stadia games division google is advancing talks with game
developers such as capcom and bungie to license out stadius infrastructure the
idea is we're giving up on this the idea is third-party developers could
use it to offer their own streaming services looking at you sony your sucks
or offer streaming games on other platforms such as consoles the best part
they don't have to use the stadia name anywhere what is that you don't like
that word wi-fi 6e routers and products have been

change their minds by giving them nfts of a virtual hat
one virtual fedora per crew please i'm going to bet this will do more to cause
griping out the water cooler than it will to actually convince anyone that nfts are a good idea put the hat on the
water cooler yeah a little ar app you can look at the
hat and it's a good idea to end this video too much tech news can hurt the
