So it turns out Meta isn’t a monopoly, at least according to a federal judge. In this episode, we’ll talk about Meta’s victory in the FTC antitrust case, which it looks like it won largely because of TikTok’s survival. Plus, we talk about the Cloudflare issue that took down a large portion of the web this week, as well as Roblox’s plan to collect kids’ selfies for age verification. We also take some time to interact with the audience and answer your important technical questions.
