hi thanks everyone for coming to Friday's nominate this Tech news to my
reformed Protestant pastor Joe Pesci cut away Apple's plan to scan users iCloud
photos for child sexual assault material has been scrapped over a year and a half
after being announced and immediately criticized by Advocates of privacy
security and questionable Tick Tock content instead Apple will focus its
anti-c-sam efforts on its communication safety features it can warn anyone
looking for csam on Apple devices and can also warn children if they receive
or attempt to send photos containing nudity through the messages app I didn't
see Sam they also announced end-to-end
encryption will be available for nine more data categories stored on iCloud
bringing the total number of Apple services that support iCloud encryption
up to 23. very excited and giving the
FBI what is medically referred to as a big sad a representative for the federal
agency stated that while data security is a top priority n10 encryption hinders
the FBI's ability to protect the American people from Criminal acts other
agencies around the globe including the UK government have issued similar
sentiments regarding this encryption with many law enforcement agencies
insisting that back doors be created to allow them to bypass encryption because
if there is anything that puts my mind at ease it's the thought of law
enforcement getting access to my back door I always sweat at airports the FEC
is Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard King because I guess having
friends is illegal now I follow the law this comes a day after company
Executives met with three of the agencies four Commissioners they must
have said the wrong thing because all three of them including the future final
boss of Gears of War 6 Rebecca Kelly Slaughter wow voted to proceed with the
lawsuit we recently reported on their 10-year Call of Duty deal with Nintendo
that Microsoft made which will only come into effect if the deal goes through
Sony however doesn't believe it will happen at all they believe that the
Nintendo deal is misleading smoke and mirrors and that Call of Duty on the
switch console much like me in a high school gym class won't be able to run
well if at all and definitely won't be able to climb
that rope Microsoft president Brad Smith actually wrote an op-ed in the Wall
Street Journal to argue that the acquisition would be good for gamers
which I could consider an attempt to mislead Our Kind if I thought Anyone who
reads the Wall Street Journal actually played video games too busy buying
stocks and Bumble chests at least one expert thinks there's a less than 50
chance of the acquisition going through so if you feel very strongly about
Microsoft being Victorious don't forget to leave the traditional offering of
Doritos Mountain Dew and bathwater under
your bed for the gaming gods the game
awards happened yesterday and if you made Eldon ring or God of War Ragnarok
you probably had a great time Ragnarok took home six trophies and elvering took
