140 The Dash Grab

This morning on CEP!

What is The Second-System Effect?
Another scam arrives in the mail: DOMAIN LISTINGS is a scam organization that tells you your website is about to expire, then asks for $288 for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
More ways Amazon crushes its own sellers, and how incredibly ineffective Congress is to stop them. What's the only thing that can save us from them?
The Light Bulb Conspiracy and other products designed to die.
Should Full Self-Driving be banned? Should Waymo (ha!) be banned?
How Instagram tracks everything you do, within its built-in browser.
Australian courts discover the Google History Scandal, like 10 years after I broke the story. Learn how Google records EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE YOU GO TO, how 99% of users are COMPLETELY UNAWARE of it, and how Google confuses the rest of them into agreeing to it.
Google and Apple make a CarPlay for your data, aka the Dash(board) Grab. It's nice to have information from your smartphone displayed on your dashboard, but at what cost?
