NSA Warns Against DoH
This week in Privacy News, Biden can’t bring his Peloton bike to the white house, a new wrist band monitors your mood, and 20% of companies are spying on their at-home employees. Also, Telegram is in the news again, Google is not updating apps, and the NSA warns against using DNS over HTTPS. We also look at some Windows and Mac bugs and a few important data breaches.

This week in Business News, we look at some interesting FOSS news, then some Apple business updates, before looking at Georgia’s attempt to extract cable taxes from NetFlix. Also, Ajit Pai’s final report says 3 Mbps is good for American homes, and Facebook receives a patent for shadow banning. We also end with some interesting SillyVille news.
