Episode notes

The FCC's decision to restore net neutrality by reclassifying broadband as an essential service marks a significant development in the regulation of the broadband sector. By treating broadband as an essential service and prohibiting Internet service providers from blocking, throttling, or engaging in aid prioritization of lawful content, the FCC aims to ensure a fast, open, and fair internet for all users. This move is crucial for maintaining an equitable digital landscape where all content providers, regardless of their size and financial capabilities, have equal access to consumers.

Microsoft is facing challenges in rebuilding trust due to security breaches and criticism surrounding its security practices. The company has been targeted by Russian state-sponsored hackers, leading to concerns about the security of email accounts and stolen source code. Additionally, Chinese government hackers have breached U.S. government emails through Microsoft cloud exploits. In response to these incidents, Microsoft has launched the Secure Future initiative to enhance its security efforts, prioritizing security over new features and focusing on AI and security.
