The UK's Online Safety Bill has become law 

This is hugely controversial and could lead to WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, and iMessage shutting down their services in the UK. It's a fight over encryption and internet privacy. The government wants to improve internet safety by forcing these providers to remove harmful content such as child sexual abuse, extreme violence, animal cruelty, terrorism, promotion of illegal weapons or drugs, and more.  

They've also outlined new laws for 'cyber-flashing' and "deepfake pornography". But monitoring for this content would mean the tech companies would need to be able to see the content - something they are fiercely against. The government says Ofcom would only ask tech firms to access messages once "feasible technology" had been developed, but we're unclear what that means. 

 

How would you feel if your next Uber didn't have a driver? 

If you're living in Phoenix, Arizona it now might not! The future is here if you choose to accept! When you book a ride in the Uber app, you'll be able to select to go driverless. 

Waymo will still have their own app - which will allow you to grab a ride in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and soon, Austin. But this partnership with Uber makes it frictionless to try the new service. It won't be any cheaper than a car driven by a human though!  

 

A PlayStation 5 might actually be able to be put under your Christmas Tree 

Supply Chain issues have made the PS5 a tough thing to get with some people waiting months for their game console to arrive. Chip shortages have seriously limited the availability for the past three years, making them a rare commodity. Good news is that PlayStation says their supply chain is fixed and they have lots of availability now.
