014 - Stupid Tech Headlines of 2023 (So Far) with Adam Doud (Part 2)

On this episode, host Enrique VTee and guest Adam Doud talk about more stupid headlines. Uber released its list of strangest items left on an Uber. Then, we talk about Twitter's broken verification system when a parody Disney Jr UK account gets a gold badge, and finally, we talk about Porn Hub blocking all traffic to Utah because of new age verification laws.

Since we're on the topic of Porn Hub, we poked around some of the insight data that the company released of its real time traffic patterns during last year's Apple event. 
 
This is the second part of Enrique and Adam's conversations about stupid tech headlines. Make sure you don't miss episode 013 before listening to this one!
