The conversation revolves around a new potential feature release, speculating that it may be used to gather more data. The feature is not yet officially released, but test versions are being discussed. There are concerns about trust in tech companies handling encryption, with the suggestion that a personal decryption passcode could increase trust. The discussion questions whether Microsoft can be trusted not to access encrypted data, with skepticism towards their intentions due to their proprietary encryption algorithms. The conversation mentions the skepticism towards all trillion-dollar companies, including Apple and Google, in handling user data.
There was a lot to get into this week! First, Marques, Andrew, and David discuss Instagram testing unskippable ads before getting into some Microsoft Recall news. Then they go deep on what they expect to see from Apple's WWDC 2024 next week. Then we finish it up with a call to action: we want to add some sounds to our soundboard so make sure to leave a comment on YouTube with your favorite soundbite. We then of course round it out with some trivia.
