The MacVoices Live! panel looks at the EU's scrutiny of Meta's pay or consent model, pondering potential fines and implications for the tech industry. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Web Bixby, Marty Jencius, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, Guy Serle, and Mark Fuccio also analyze Ticketmaster's data breach notifications, reflecting on electronic ticketing security. Shifting focus to the U.S. Treasury's crypto tax rules, we explore the impact on market legitimacy and illicit activities. The conversation extends to the EU tech landscape, highlighting companies like Siemens and Accenture, and the EU's stance on American tech giants. Various tangents include digital transactions, converting crypto gains, and financial analogies in modern markets.
