On this episode of the Making Markets Podcast, host Daniel Newman shares his insights on some of tech’s big stories this week and the market reaction:
Facebook: A brief look at what is happening on Capitol Hill as Facebook once again is under fire. This time for its knowledge of Instagram’s negative effect on teenage girls, but the apparent decision not to make any changes as a result.
Zoom + Five9: A quick update as this deal fails to receive confirmation as Five9 shareholders vote it down. Next week we will try to get Five9 or Zoom on the show.
Amazon: The bulk of the show focused on Amazon’s big devices launch event this week. The scrutiny of Astro and the company’s surveillance and why a lot of that is sensational headline fodder. Amazon’s devices business is a growth engine.
