Many things are happening this year. With the official end of the Adobe Flash era, we take a dive on the current landscape including Netbeans, Microprofile 4.0, the alledged Russia Cyber attack of Jetbrains Software, and then into the huge sway that social media platforms have. We dive deeply into how the bans of twitter accounts, hosting providers, and social media tends to shape society, and realize how huge technology is for managing these. We see how it relates to the US's concept of Freedom of speech (and what it / what isn't freedom of speech). An very charged episode with a lot of opinions on technology and censorship. Definitively entertaining! http://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap http://www.twitter.com/offheap Adobe Flash Player End-of-Life https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html MicroProfile 4.0 https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.microprofile/releases/4.0 Russia Cyber-attack https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/06/us/politics/russia-cyber-hack.html Parler suspended from AWS https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/johnpaczkowski/amazon-parler-aws Permanent suspension of @realdonaltrump https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension.html
