Transatlantic Cable podcast, episode 81

In this episode of the Kaspersky Lab podcast, Dave and Jeff take a look at Facebook’s rumored cryptocurrency, TikTok’s fine from the FTC, and the latest issue for YouTube.

When we were looking over the stories that we wanted to cover this week, Dave and I noticed that one theme seemed to take the lions’ share: privacy for kids online. As parents, we had to dig in a bit and talk more about these subjects.

Episode 81 kicks off with the latest at Facebook. Unlike what we’ve seen in many past weeks, this is not a privacy snafu, but rather cryptocurrency rumored to be coming from the social media giant (along with one from Telegram). From there, we move to a story that shows a paltry number of computers being upgraded to the latest version of Windows 10. We then head into the parenting stories of the week. First we look at a fine levied on TikTok by the FTC before closing out with a story on YouTube’s comment problems.
