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!
