So it turns out Meta isn’t a monopoly, at least according to a federal judge. In this episode, we dive into Meta’s victory in the FTC’s antitrust case, which it seems to have won mainly thanks to TikTok’s existence. Also, we chat about the Cloudflare issue that took down a huge portion of the web this week, as well as Roblox’s plan to collect kids’ selfies for age verification. We also carve out some time to chat with the audience and answer your pressing tech questions.
