They say that April showers bring May flowers. The first two weeks of April 2018 have been something of a wild ride for the business world. In the Datacrushers Mid-Month update for April 2018, we are going to take a quick look at some of the exciting developments to happen thus far in April:
- Expected: The CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, was summoned by the United States House and Senate for back-to-back hearings. The Congressional hearings were ordered in response to revelations surrounding the platforms to 3rdparty data-sharing agreements. The hearings proved two things. 1) Mr. Zuckerberg is not a robot as previously believed by pundits. 2) Countless elected officials are not as technologically-literate as their constituents would like to believe.
- Ironic: Apple is notorious for taking information security very seriously. The company takes leaks so seriously, that a recently leaked memo says they discovered 29 leakers last year and had 12 of them arrested. Will the person behind the latest leak find themselves on next year’s memo about data leaks? Will that memo also be leaked at some point? Who knows!
- Surprising: Disney introduced ESPN+ this past Thursday. To the surprise of many, it turns out the House of Mouse has had an 80% controlling stake in ESPN since 2014. ESPN + is an all-in-one premium streaming service that offers thousands of live streamed events as well original films and more. Oh, and of course the vast ESPN on-demand library, in case viewers want to watch actual sporting events for some weird reason.
