Description

So much drama this episode but with an important message behind it all. For the first half, Sam and Jason break down their stories about Eduards Sizovs, a tech conference founder who listed a fake, "auto-generated" woman as a conference speaker. Sizovs is also behind a highly popular woman-in-tech account. There are layers here. After the break, Jason explains how Plex is leaking users' viewing habits to one another. Then in the subscribers-only section, Joseph runs us through how an established figure in the sneaker world is connected to a Chinese money laundering ring.Tech Conference Collapses After Organizer Admits to Making Fake ‘Auto-Generated’ Female SpeakerMale Tech Conference Founder Is Behind Popular Woman Coding Influencer AccountPlex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and FamilySneakers and Armored Cars: How a Shoe Company Empire Allegedly Used a Chinese Money Laundering RingSubscribe for access to bonus content at 404media.co Hosted on Acast.
