3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:14,799
because techlinked has you covered for tech news okay i'm sorry dennis if you

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:18,880
use literally any service on the internet you've probably seen quite a

5
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:22,640
few updated privacy policies popping up that's because today is the day that the

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:28,240
european union's general data protection regulation or gdpr goes into effect the

7
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:32,480
gdpr actually was passed in 2016 and requires companies operating in the eu

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:36,719
to obtain explicit consent from users before it collects personal data those

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:41,760
users can also request all the data a company has collected on user with fines

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:44,879
of up to 20 million dollars or higher if they break the new rules a number of

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:50,079
companies caught off guard by the regulations have opted to straight up block users and suspend service while

12
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:54,480
they try to get up to speed although the gdpr only applies to the eu because of

13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:58,559
the global nature of the internet pretty much every internet company has rushed

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,039
to comply with the new rules and thus the heavy proliferation of terms of use

15
00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:06,880
emails and topical memes which are actually pretty good we should institute

16
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:12,320
wide-ranging international personal privacy statutes more often often often

17
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:15,680
valve's steam link app launched recently and after initially approving it apple

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,520
has now rejected the app from being published on the app store the company

19
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,960
cited business conflicts with app guidelines as the reason for the

20
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,000
rejection valve says they were taken aback by the news not only because the

21
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,320
app obviously made it through the approval process already but because

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,560
there are quite a few other lan-based remote desktop apps already on the app

23
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,079
store rs technica points out that apple might be rejecting the app because they

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,720
won't get the standard 30 revenue share they require from in-app purchases if

25
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:47,680
users buy games through steam while using the app or apple could just be

26
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:51,360
being apple and saying no just because it's what they do after going on a bit

27
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,759
of a twitter rant about how the public no longer respects big media companies

28
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,000
elon musk has proposed a solution the tesla spacex and boring company founder

29
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,560
plans to create a site where users can rate the truth and credibility of news

30
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:08,800
outlets and journalists he wants to call it pravda which is russian for truth and

31
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:13,440
as journalist mark harris pointed out musk actually created a company called

32
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:15,680
pravda corp in october 2017. so this may

33
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:21,280
be more than a throwaway idea from the real-life tony stark or now the

34
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:25,120
real-life trump of tech that's not fair but this is kind of a

35
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,959
scary idea crowdsourcing truth is kind of the way that pseudoscientific ideas
