What's inside

🔐 Inside the Google antitrust filing part 1 & 2

Part 1 - Jedi Blue

In our last newsletter, we shared the 173-page long Google antitrust filing. In case you didn't find the time to work through it yourself: We got you covered 🤓

In this first part, we summed up the illegal pact that Google and Facebook entered into, called: Jedi Blue. If you want to find out how they actively manipulated the advertisement market to their own advantage follow this secret link 🤫

Part 2 - Big Tech vs. Our Privacy

In our second blog post based on the Google Antitrust filing, the main topic is user privacy circumvention by Big Tech.

The basis of those allegation is even more alarming than the advertisement manipulation we covered in the first blog post. And everybody must know what these Big Tech companies set their priorities on 🤢

metaverse

📹 The Metaverse is coming by Karim & Misch

Let our co-founders, Karim and Misch, explain what "the metaverse is coming" means in this video statement 👨‍🏫

What does it mean for you, but also what does it mean for us personally and as a company? You will find the answers to this and more in the video. 

🌐 What even is the Metaverse

If you watched our video and are still wondering WTH Metaverse actually is - or might be in the future - here is an article that digs a little deeper. Here TheVerge tries to give you a condensed rundown on why we even need the term metaverse and where all of this could lead to POTENTIALLY.

But always keep in mind: Nobody really knows yet what the metaverse will look like. It is a concept of the future, but the foundations are already being laid today 🚧

general news

👎 Youtube is hiding dislikes on videos

Earlier this month Youtube announced that the dislike counter will no longer be shown on their platform.

According to them, they do this to protect small creators from dislike-raids and public shaming. However, the dislike button will still be there and the creators can still see the statistics 🤔

🕐 Instagram tests longer stories

Instagram has officially launched live tests of 60-second Stories. This will result in video clips no longer being split into 15-second segments.

It was a long-requested feature, and the implementation is long overdue if you ask us 🙏🏻
