1 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: Welcome to tech Stuff, a production from I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: Be there and welcome to tech Stuff. I'm your host, 3 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: Jonathan Strickland. I'm an executive producer with I Heart Radio. 4 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: And how the tech are you? It is time for 5 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: the tech news for Tuesday, October two thousand twenty two. 6 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: And boy, how a lot of stuff happened late last 7 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: week and over the weekend. Let's start with G four TV. 8 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: So I did some episodes about G four TV about 9 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: a year ago, where I talked about the formation of 10 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: the channel, you know it's origins and it's merger with 11 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: tech TV under Comcast, and then the subsequent dissolution of 12 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: the channel following years of decline, and that era happened 13 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: between two thousand two and two thousand twelve. Then I 14 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: talked about how the channel was being revived fived in 15 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, coming back from extinction. So the Zomba 16 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: five G four TV emerged on November six, and with 17 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: the relaunch, we saw the reappearance of programs like x Play, 18 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:21,279 Speaker 1: which was a video game criticism show like a review show, 19 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: as well as Attack of the Show, which is more 20 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: of a geeky variety show, and some of the hosts 21 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: from the glory days like Kevin Pereira and Adam Sessler 22 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: returned and they were joined by newcomers to the channel 23 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: like Fiona Nova and Gina Darling and others. But then 24 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 1: less than a year later, the channel has once again 25 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: gone silent. Comcast Spectator, which in itself is a subsidiary 26 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: of Comcast, sent out a memo on October six, two 27 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: thousand twenty two a lerning the team that due to 28 00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: low viewership, the channel was financially unstable, so that essentially 29 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: meant that it probably cost more to produce the content 30 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: on the channel than the channel was actually making. As 31 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: a result, the plug has been pulled and the channel 32 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: is once again dead. The memo goes on to say 33 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: that Comcast Spectator HR will work with the affected staff 34 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 1: of which they were around, to try and find other 35 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: opportunities and discuss other options. This stinks because there were 36 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: some really cool people working over there, you know, talented, 37 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: hard working folks. I was honestly surprised that the new 38 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: G four TV wasn't more of an online network as 39 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: opposed to an attempt to to go the traditional TV 40 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: channel route. Again, I doubt such a channel would be 41 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: able to attract the same talent pool if it were 42 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: online only like that would be hard to do because 43 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: you typically don't see the same kind of investment for 44 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. However, the costs of production would 45 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: be much lower as well. A lot of folks online 46 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: are kind of playing armchair analysts and drawing conclusions like 47 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: that the television era in general is coming to a close, 48 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: and that's why G four TV couldn't find a new audience, 49 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: because the audience has moved away from the medium there 50 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: getting their content online as opposed to on television. I 51 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: would actually have to do some real research to find 52 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: out how likely that is. I mean, I know anecdotally 53 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: that I haven't watched any television programming in years, but 54 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: that's just me. I could be an outlier. I don't know. 55 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: I don't know how how popular TV is in general 56 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: at this point because I'm so far removed from it. 57 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: I'd have to actually look into it. But I just 58 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: want to say that I hope the staff of G 59 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: four TV finds new opportunities quickly and that they are 60 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: all able to pursue their dreams, just under a different banner, because, 61 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: like I said, this stinks. Uh I can't really blame 62 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: Comcast Spectrum from for doing this, right, Like, if they 63 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: were unable to find an audience, you can't really justify 64 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: just running the channel just so it exists. If no 65 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: one's seeking it out, then ultimately you could argue that 66 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: the effort being put forward to create that content is 67 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: wasted and that people could achieve better things by doing 68 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: something else. So I can't really criticize the decision to 69 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: end the channel. I just hate that it was a 70 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: necessity because you know, I like some of the folks 71 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: over there, and um, you know, I I think that 72 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: this stuff they make is worthwhile. That being said, since 73 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: I don't watch TV, I hadn't been watching g for TV, 74 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: so I'm part of the problem, all right. Moving on, 75 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: Also in the geek entertainment sphere is some pretty ugly 76 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: news coming out of Rooster Teeth. Now, if you're not 77 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: familiar with the name Rooster Teeth, it's a company that's 78 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: known primarily for its podcasts and video series that orbit 79 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: the video d games space. They're either directly about video 80 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: games or are kind of tangentially related to video games, 81 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: and it's all with an entertainment spin. The company got 82 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: started with a web series called Red Versus Blue, which 83 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: uses the Halo game engine as a kind of studio, 84 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: actors treating their master Chief characters like digital puppets and 85 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 1: recording voice over with it. That Little Colonel grew into 86 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: a pretty impressive entertainment network, which ultimately branched out into 87 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: making feature films, premier series, an anime inspired series, and more. 88 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: I've actually had a couple of people from Rooster Teeth 89 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: on this show as guests in the past, including Bernie 90 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: Burns and Jack Potillo. Well, the news out of Rooster 91 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: Teeth this week is pretty awful, and it started when 92 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: news broke that the company, which ultimately is part of 93 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: Warner Brothers Discovery, dissolved several positions, meaning they just eliminated 94 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: these positions from existence. That included one of an online personality, 95 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: a guy named Matt Bragg who posted that he was 96 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: going to go part time on sort of a contract 97 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: basis because of this. Now, that prompted some backlash in 98 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: the community, which then got turned up to eleven in 99 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: intensity when a former Rooster Teeth employee named Caden talked 100 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: about her experiences at the company. Her accusations are numerous 101 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: and disturbing. They range from going unpaid for nine months 102 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: while doing some contract work for the company, to then 103 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: being vastly underpaid and overworked as a producer and a 104 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: director and editor, even to a point where she developed 105 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: pneumonia and then, upon returning to work, was immediately put 106 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: back under the same grueling schedule. She also said that 107 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: she was targeted with a homophobic slur in the office, 108 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: and that slur was used by on screen talent in 109 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: an altered form so that they refer to her with 110 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: this slur while being on camera, and in turn, the 111 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: community got in on using that nickname, though presumably most 112 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: folks didn't know what the significance of the word was. 113 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: Side note, however, Caden herself, in a previous life, like 114 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago when she was a teenager, had uploaded 115 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: videos that featured her and this was before her transition 116 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: surgery and before her employment at Rooster Teeth, But it 117 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: featured her using homophobic language, anti Semitic language, racist language. 118 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: So that doesn't excuse the treatment she received at at 119 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: Rooster Teeth. But you know, I feel like I need 120 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: to talk about it because otherwise someone's going to bring 121 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: it up and say, yeah, but Cayden said these terrible 122 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: things when she was younger, and doesn't that make her 123 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: a hypocrite? Really? I feel like Caden's arguments were that 124 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: the company failed to act when she brought these concerns 125 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: to HR. And that's the issue, right. It's not that 126 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: Cayden was a perfect person, or that Kayden herself had 127 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: not engaged in terrible UH language and and the expression 128 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: of horrible racist and homophobic ideas herself. She had. That 129 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: was bad that she had done that on her own channel, 130 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: but rather that this indicated a systemic problem within Rooster 131 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: Teeth and that HR did nothing to take action on 132 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: that and to protect employees. That is still a massive problem. UH. 133 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: Caden's behavior was also a massive problem, something that she 134 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: has apologized for in the past, though you know, some 135 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: people are are arguing that that apology wasn't sufficient. I'm 136 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: not here to judge the sufficient nature of apologies because 137 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: that's that's a fool's errand in my mind, But anyway, 138 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: it doesn't change the fact that there were these systemic 139 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: problems that Rooster Teeth. Now, Rooster Teeth issued a statement 140 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: that a lot of people in the community have said, 141 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: isn't nearly enough, saying that the company failed to really 142 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: take accountability for the things that Caden accuses the company 143 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: of doing. Largely this reliance on the exploitation of employees 144 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: who are underpaid by industry standards, while meanwhile some some 145 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: few people at the top are benefiting disproportionately from that labor. 146 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: So it is really ugly. This is not the first 147 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: time that Rooster Teeth has had to face some pretty 148 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: tough scandals. There was a similar one when Mica Burton 149 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: left the company and revealed she had been the target 150 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: of racism and abuse, and the company failed to really 151 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: do anything to help her. Then in scandal broke out 152 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: again when it was made public that one of the 153 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: on screen talent at Rooster Teeth had engaged in predatory 154 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 1: behavior with the fan base. So this later this controversy 155 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: implies that the company as a whole has failed to 156 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: address those systemic problems within the culture of the organization, 157 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: and many are comparing what's going on within Rooster Teeth 158 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: two similar situations that companies like Activision, Blizzard and uby 159 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: Soft and Uber. Meanwhile, as part of Warner Brothers Discovery, 160 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: I imagine there's a very real worry at executive level 161 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: level leadership at Rooster Teeth about what maybe in the 162 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: future for Rooster Teeth. I mean, as possible they could 163 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: get sold off, because we know that David Zaslov over 164 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: at Warner Brothers Discovery and his team are looking to 165 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: trim billions of dollars off the overall corporate budget, and uh, 166 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: it may very well be that Rooster Teeth could be 167 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: on the chopping block for that, whether it gets sold 168 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: off or dissolved or whatever. Rooster Teeth canceled all of 169 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: its live podcast recording sessions yesterday, likely because the company 170 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: is working to create a response to these accusations and 171 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: community reaction, and the host of that podcast would have 172 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: been potentially been a real mess. Right if you had 173 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: live interactive chat with a podcast recording, it would be 174 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: setting the stage for accusations and criticism and abuse and 175 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: tough questions and it just would have been a big mess. 176 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: Whether this controversy is going to have a lasting effect 177 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: on the company remains to be seen, but it definitely 178 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: has exposed a very ugly side to Rooster Teeth's corporate culture, 179 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: one that arguably has been exposed before in the past. 180 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: But the company had had assured community members that steps 181 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: would be taken to correct it. So, yeah, not a 182 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: good situation. All right. When we come back, we've got 183 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: a lot more news to get through, but first let's 184 00:11:48,559 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: take this quick break. We're back. Yeah. Formerly known as 185 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: Kanye West, is in the process of acquiring the beleaguered 186 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: social network platform Parlor. Now you might remember that Parlor, 187 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: which brands itself as a free speech platform, became kind 188 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: of a gathering place primarily known for right wing conservatives 189 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 1: leading up to the twenty twenty election, when there was 190 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: a big spike in interest in Parlor. The service ran 191 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: into some major turbulence, however, when Apple and Google dropped 192 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: Parlor from app stores citing the company's lack of a 193 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: suitable content moderation policy around the same time as the 194 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: January six, two thousand twenty one insurrection. Amazon would then 195 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: subsequently boot Parlor from its hosting service, and so Parlor 196 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: had to find a new host and initially switched to 197 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: a Russian based company called de dos Guard, but then 198 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: switched to an American based company called sky Silk. The 199 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: general reporting round Parlor has indicated that there's been a 200 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: pretty substant hill decline in active users since the return 201 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: from online exile in early one. Anyway, Yea apparently decided 202 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: to purchase Parlor after he received a Twitter ban for 203 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: posting anti Semitic comments. He had also been banned from Instagram. 204 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: And I think it's interesting to point out that Yea 205 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: has been hanging out with a conservative commentator and author 206 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: named Candice Owens recently because Owens happens to be married 207 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: to a man named George Farmer, and Farmer happens to 208 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: be the CEO of Parlor. So that's led some folks 209 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: and allegedly including some folks in Yea's own circles, to 210 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: perhaps suggest that Owens has influenced Yea and kind of 211 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: guided him into buying what is a flailing social media site, 212 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: which will potentially see both her and her husband benefit 213 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: from that sale. And I am not used to reporting 214 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: this kind of drama, y'all. Anyway, when you consider that 215 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is still in the process of acquiring Twitter 216 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: and that Donald Trump on to found Truth Social it's 217 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: hard to get past the feeling that some highly opinionated, 218 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: rich people think that the real solution to being moderated 219 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: is to go and buy the platform or to make 220 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: your own so interesting stuff there. Over in the UK, 221 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: the Competition and Markets Authority or c m A, which 222 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: is a regulatory body, has set a new precedent by 223 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: ordering Meta to sell off Giffee or Jiffy if you prefer. 224 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: That's the gif creation website that Meta acquired in twenty though, 225 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: of course, in Meta was still known as Facebook. Actually, 226 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: the c m A had already ordered Meta to do this. 227 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: This is not a new decision. However, Meta appealed that decision. 228 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: The matter went back for review, and now after reviewing 229 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: that initial decision, the c m A says, now we're good, 230 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: We're still going to make you sell it. So the 231 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: CMA says that Meta's acquisition hurts competition in the space, 232 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: potentially cutting off Giffee rivals from being able to leverage Facebook, 233 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: or forcing those rivals to give up more user data 234 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: to Facebook in return for being allowed to access the platform. 235 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: Meta reps issued a statement reading quote, we are disappointed 236 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: by the CMA's decision, but except today's ruling as the 237 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: final word on the matter, we will work closely with 238 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: the c m A on divesting Giffee end quote. So 239 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: it looks like the dismantling of meta has begun, or 240 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: maybe this is just the beginning and end of it all. 241 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: We'll we'll have to wait and see. Researchers at the 242 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: security firm z Scaler warned that there's a new data 243 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: stealing malware propagating across Facebook. A phishing campaign called Ductail 244 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: appears to be responsible, and according to a report on 245 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: tech Radar that's titled a phishing campaign is spreading brand 246 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: new malware targeting Facebook users. This malware quote cannot only 247 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: steal Facebook adjacent data, but also other sensitive data stored 248 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: in browsers, such as data related to cryptocurrency, wallet's a 249 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: count information, and basic system data end quote. Ducktail has 250 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: previously distributed malware through LinkedIn messages containing malicious links, and 251 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: it sounds like this particular attack is really insidious and 252 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: that it mostly works within computer memory, which helps it 253 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: evade detection from anti virus programs. It also sounds like 254 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: this started as a spear phishing campaign. UH. Spear phishing 255 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: means that the perpetrators are targeting specific populations. It's not 256 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: just throwing out a phishing attack in general, it's really 257 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: focusing them. So in that case, it involved high level 258 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: employees who had access to company Facebook business accounts. However, 259 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: z scaler is now warning that this campaign has widened 260 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: to target pretty much anyone. Z Scaler says that quote 261 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: the malicious executable files are mostly in dot zep format 262 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: and hosted on file sharing platforms, posing as cracked versions 263 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: of office applications, games, subtitle files, porn related files, and 264 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: others end quote. So once again, just a reminder, don't 265 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: download files from questionable sources. You're playing Russian Roulette with 266 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: your computer and potentially all of your data, including financial data. 267 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: Business Insider reports that Microsoft has recently held layoffs, affecting 268 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: quote less than one thousand employees end quote this week, 269 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: and that the cuts were made across pretty much all 270 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 1: of the company, including the Xbox division and Microsoft's strategic 271 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: missions and technology departments. Business Insider also references an internal 272 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: email that indicated the company is re prioritizing various projects, 273 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: with some essentially being canceled or shelved. This kind of 274 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: goes in line with what we've been hearing across the 275 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: industry really, as large companies have put in hiring phrases 276 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: and started holding layoffs. Uh. Microsoft has previously said that 277 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: it anticipates it will not lay off more than one 278 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: percent of its workforce globally, but the you know, this 279 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: is part of that process, and I think we're going 280 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: to see a lot more stories about various folks facing 281 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: tough situations like this across the tech industry. So on 282 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: a similar note, Engadget reports that some leaked documents from 283 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 1: inside Amazon paint a really bleak picture for the company 284 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: when it comes to retaining employees. The report says that attrition, 285 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: which is a nice way to say the loss of 286 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: employees that is both regretted and unregretted, which essentially means 287 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: both the folks who quit and the folks that we 288 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: fired or laid off collectively. They cost the company some 289 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: eight billion dollars annually eight billion dollars billion with a B, 290 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: all because of turnover, whether that's from layoffs and firings 291 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: or folks quitting the company. The documents indicate that about 292 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: twice as many people leave the company on their own 293 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,719 Speaker 1: as opposed to being laid off or fired. So that 294 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: definitely does not paint a nice picture of what it's 295 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: like to work for Amazon. Right, So you've got this 296 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: massive issue of turnover. The vast majority of which involves 297 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: people leaving the company quitting the company, and that you know, 298 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: regretted attrition a people who are leaving on their own 299 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: account was at a low of sixty nine point five 300 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: percent and a high of any one three percent across 301 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: all levels of employees. Yikes. And it goes on to 302 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: add that only one out of three employees even sticks 303 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: around for ninety days or more. That means if you 304 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: get three Amazon employees who joined on you know, January one, 305 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: two out of those three are going to be gone 306 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: before the end of March. Like that crazy. That's an 307 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: insane amount of turnover. And we've always known that turnover 308 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 1: at Amazon has been a big problem. It's just that 309 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: it hasn't really been quantified like this before these internal 310 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: documents got out. At that rate, Amazon is really going 311 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: to burn through all potential employee options in major cities 312 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: within a couple of years. And then where is it 313 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: going to be. I mean, that sounds like it's hyperbole, 314 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: but other news outlets have actually said exactly the same 315 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: thing that at the rate of Amazon's turnover, the employable 316 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: public in the various cities where Amazon has major operations 317 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: are going to be run through and then you've got 318 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,479 Speaker 1: no one left. So you've got to address these issues 319 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: with retention. It also seems to at least imply that 320 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: working conditions at Amazon are lousy, right otherwise you wouldn't 321 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: have people quitting within three months of getting a job. 322 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: So it's a costly problem that Amazon needs to solve. 323 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: I really recommend reading the whole article. The article has 324 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: the title exclusive Amazon's attrition costs eight billion annually according 325 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: to leaked documents, and it gets worse. And again that's 326 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: over at in Gadget. Okay, I've got a few more 327 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: stories to go through before I get to those. Let's 328 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: take another quick break. We're back. Not too long ago, 329 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: I covered a story about how YouTube was experimenting with 330 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: putting four K content behind a sort of paywall. So 331 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: some users in various regions, but not all of them, 332 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: but some some areas of the world reported that when 333 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: they encountered videos on YouTube that were available to watch 334 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: in four K, they first saw a prompt to upgrade 335 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 1: to YouTube Premium in order to access the content in 336 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: four A resolution. Now mac Rumors reports that the company 337 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: has ended this experiment, removing the upgrade prompts and returning 338 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: four K content to just being a normal option for 339 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,239 Speaker 1: users to choose from for videos that have that availability. 340 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: The company has indicated that this experiment is officially over. 341 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: They've said so in tweets people have sent in questions 342 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 1: over Twitter and YouTube accounts of State stated that this 343 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: experiment has ended. However, there hasn't really been any comment 344 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: on what prompted the experiment to come to an end. 345 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: Presumably the decision is not to lock four K behind 346 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: a paywall. It is possible that user backlash convinced YouTube 347 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: leaders that putting higher resolution content behind an upgrade requirement 348 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: would not be an effective way to actually drive people 349 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: to subscribe to YouTube premium. If their conclusion was people 350 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: are just angry and it's not really making anyone subscribe, 351 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: then obviously it doesn't make any sense to institute that 352 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 1: strategy across the platform because it's not gonna work anyway, 353 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: and it's just gonna take off your user base. So, um, 354 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what YouTube is going to try next 355 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: to try and increase YouTube Premium subscriptions, but it apparently 356 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: will not be locking content, you know, high resolution content 357 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: behind the paywall. So that's good news if you like 358 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: watching you know, four K content on YouTube and you 359 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: don't want to have a YouTube premium subscription. German regulators 360 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: have now levied a five million dollar fine on Telegram, 361 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: the messaging app that originates out of the United Arab Emirates. 362 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: It's a Dubai based company, and the regulators are saying 363 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: that the reason for the fine, this five million dollar 364 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: fine is that Telegram has failed to fulfill two requirements 365 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: in order to operate a messaging service within Germany. Namely, 366 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: Telegram has not created a legal way for reporting illegal 367 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: content to German officials. So content within Germany that is 368 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: considered illegal must be reported to the authorities, and Telegram 369 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: has not proposed a way of doing that. And the 370 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: other accusation is that Telegram has not named a German 371 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: entity like a company or point of contact, who would 372 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 1: be responsible for receiving official communications from the German authorities 373 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: or from Telegram, kind of being a liaison between Telegram 374 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: and the German government. Telegram does have the option to 375 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: appeal the fine um and the company has recently named 376 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: a German law firm as sort of a point of contact, 377 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: so potentially one of the two problems has been resolved. 378 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: Whether or not Telegram has formulated an official process for 379 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: reporting illegal activity, I have not heard, so that may 380 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: still be an issue. Finally, the European Space Agency plans 381 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: to launch a demonstration satellite in twenty four that aims 382 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: to push encryption into the quantum age, or at least 383 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: play a part in it. So this plan involves putting 384 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: a satellite, a communication satellite called Eagle one, into orbit, 385 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: and this satellite is going to serve as part of 386 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: a quantum key distribution system and will be used to 387 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: help test different strategies centered around quantum encryption, which is 388 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: important in the age of quantum computing. And I've covered 389 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: quantum computing in the past, but just as a quick reminder, 390 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: quantum computers, at least those that have enough processing capability 391 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 1: as well as the right algorithms to go with it, 392 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: can pose an enormous threat and existential threat to our 393 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: modern methods of encryption. Um. So your standard computer would 394 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: have to work thousands of years to decrypt a really 395 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: sophisticated encrypted message today like that would just because the 396 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: way classical computers work, it would take so long as 397 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: to be unrealistic to ever be able to decrypt a 398 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: truly well encrypted message, But a suitable quantum computer paired 399 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 1: with the correct algorithm could do the same thing in 400 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: a relative blink of an eye, because it's effectively solving 401 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: all versions of the problem simultaneously. That's a drastic oversimplification 402 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: of what's going on, but you can think of it 403 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: in those terms. So while a classical computer would be 404 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: working kind of step by step to try and solve 405 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: a problem, the quantum computer is trying to solve all 406 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: of the problem all the same time and quickly comes 407 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: up with solutions that it assigns a probability to. So 408 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: in other words, it's not like you get the solution, 409 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: you get potential solutions with a a likelihood of them 410 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 1: being correct. That's still way faster, way faster than using 411 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: a classical computer, And that means that quantum computers could 412 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 1: potentially decrypt pretty much everything that has ever been encrypted 413 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: by computers, which means no more secrets, right. It means 414 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: anything that has been encrypted could be uncovered. That includes 415 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 1: things like financial transactions. The entire basis of data security 416 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 1: would be completely undermined by this emergence of quantum computers 417 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 1: and algorithms that can break encryption. So there is a 418 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: need to establish a new encryption method that can withstand 419 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: both classic and quantum computer attacks, and that is what 420 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: this Eagle one satellite is meant to be part of 421 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: a deployment of technology platforms upon which we can test 422 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: different strategies to see which are viable. We've already seen 423 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: stories of a proposed quantum encryption scheme that ended up 424 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: being vulnerable to classical computer attacks. So this is an 425 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: important and difficult area of research. So really interesting that 426 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: this is looking at a launch. Uh, it really does 427 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: show how how on the verge we are of this 428 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: quantum computing age and how important it is to start 429 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: setting the standards for encryption moving forward. Okay, that's it 430 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: for the news that I have to cover today Tuesday, 431 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 1: October two thousand twenty two.
