#SGGQA 171: WWE says NO Social Media, EA adds ads in UFC4, Apple vs Privacy, Velvet on T-Mobile

2 hours 25 minutes

Happy Labor Day!

It’s a Holiday in the USA, but we still have tech to talk about! WWE says NO SOCIAL MEDIA for wrestlers! EA added commercials to UFC 4 to make the game more realistic! Ajit Pai peddled false information about broadband adoption. Content farms are ruining YouTube! T-Mobile is finally getting the LG Velvet, but it’s a little different.

And Apple is promoting privacy while delaying their new advertiser tracking for users.

Let’s get our tech week started right!
