#SGGQA 160: Apple Widgets and App Drawers, Social Media Ads, and the end of Encryption
MORE companies are joining the social media advertising boycott! Microsoft is closing all of their retail stores and shutting down Mixer! TikTok is SUPER spying on you! Olympus is out of the camera game! Focals got sold to Google! WWDC happened last week!
