Listen Later

What could possibly go wrong when YouTube live-streams a congressional hearing on White Nationalism? The White Nationalists show up, resulting in a shut-down of user comments. When racism, bigotry, hatred and other unacceptable behaviors invade the social medium, the tech/social platforms have a responsibility to address the issue. But while tech often enables bad behavior, more tech may not be the whole solution. Could a better "block first ask later" policy to inappropriate online behavior be the key? Plus our Fast Five: - The FCC's $20b plan to fund rural 5G - Uber looks to get a "Lyft" from its IPO - Amazon Go Goes Green (as in greenbacks) - Google Chromebooks support native editing for Microsoft Office - Amazon pushes for higher minimum wage Our Tech Bites Winner: Amazon's "Alexa Listens then Amazon Employees Listen" revelation Our Crystal Ball: What do we expect in the Disney+ vs Netflix battle?
