#SGGQA 303 - Reddit Stays Dark, FCC Ask About Data Caps, EU Battery Regulations, Twitter Wont Pay Its Bills

2 hours 10 minutes

Video Replay on Twitch!

Social media continues it's decline.

Reddit is looking at forcing communities to go public by removing volunteer moderators. Twitter is being sued by music publishers, and is getting evicted from their Colorado office. The FCC is asking if people hate their broadband data caps.

And the EU just passed sweeping regulations on batteries.

Let's get our tech week started right!
