#SGGQA 144: Fighting Misinformation on Social Media, Net Neutrality Rejected, iPhone SE vs OnePlus 8

2 hours 48 minutes

Social media companies are taking a harder stance against conspiracy theories and misinformation. The FCC is rejecting calls to extend the deadline for Net Neutrality comments while ISPs credit the Net Neutrality repeal for improved broadband performance. The Apple Watch turns 5! OnePlus details layoffs in Europe. Danger 5 returns as an audio play!

And let’s pit the iPhone SE against the OnePlus 8 FOR NO GOOD REASON!

Let’s get our tech week started right!
