From deep inside your audio device of choice, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to say just off the top of my head that the last innovation in the financial world that really by most agreement had a bigger upside than a downside was the automated teller machine. You know, some people might have lost their card or tripped up somehow and getting the cash out, but generally speaking, it worked and it was an innovation. You didn't have to wait for a teller inside the bank. You didn't have to go inside the bank. So of course, they're going to get rid of those now because they still have to maintain a machine outside, you know, and that takes time and money. And before that, I think the most successful financial innovation was the personal check. It was a way long time ago. I bring that up because in this still young
century, we've lived through now two phases of financial innovation. In the first decade of the century, we had securitized mortgages. That's what took the housing market to the woodshed, allowing banks that wrote mortgages to not have to hold them and collect the payments from the homeowners. They could wrap those mortgages together in a package, sell them as a security, walk away, and let what happened happened. And now, in this second and third decades of the century, the financial innovation of note, bought to reap its reeth of destruction, crypto. So the first part of this show today will be just a little
roundup of the latest bad news about crypto, starting with me reading the trades for you. This from advertising age, FTC's crypto marketing probe could spell trouble for ad agencies. Telling me, I'm going to read it for you. The US Federal Trade Commission has opened a probe into several unnamed crypto firms over potentially deceptive advertising. The inquiry could now implicate the ad industry and
add it to the growing list of parties that may have exploited consumer trust in the crypto space, a major factor that enabled the collapse of FTX last month. We are investigating several firms for possible misconduct concerning digital assets, set an FTC spokesman with its sites trained on advertising practices, the probe may spell particular trouble for ad agencies, which are in the primary partners helping crypto firms navigate the world of marketing through sponsorships, billboards, TV spots, and digital activations. Those ties run deep, Densu Creative had long worked with FTX before its implosion, Accenture Song worked with Coinbase to develop its award-winning Super Bowl spot.
Despite Coinbase's CEO withholding credit, both Weedon and Kennedy and Pereira Odell have teamed with Crypto.com on previous campaigns, and just last month 72 and sunny, that's an ad agency collaborated with Binance on a global marketing push. None of these agencies immediately responded to ad agents requests for comment. Lord T's Tiffith, executive VP of public policy at the Interactive Advertising Bureau, doesn't think agency should be held accountable if their partners are independently misbehaving. As long as the malpractice is covered, quote, they're not in the operations of the business, they're in an arms length when it comes to the client they're working for, said Tiffith.
But there is some precedent for ad agencies being held accountable for brand's marketing practices. In 2017, the FTC filed charges against now-defunct marketing company Sinner Jix with two X's. After it created Radio and Ads, Radio ads for dietary supplements. The ads were deemed deceptive for not disclosing the complexity of relevant tasks, as well as featuring spokespeople who actually had no expertise in the subject. Even though most crypto firms are not currently being accused of fraud, that's a relief. It may be who their agency partners to come clean about the roles they played, said Tim Oriarnal, co-founder and CEO of MarTech Company, Newtronian, doing so could indicate good faith to the FTC as it investigates while also taking a stab at the heart of the issue, enhancing consumer trust.
Quote, agencies that want to stay in the crypto game are going to realize they need to treat partners as financial products and obviously deal with all the liability that can, said Yarnal. Government crackdowns on the ad industry's relationship with crypto has been building for some time, at the end of last year the advertising standards authority, a UK watchdog group, banned several crypto ads for, quote, irresponsibly taking advantage of consumers in experience and for failing to illustrate the risk of the investment, unquote. The band affected ads from Coinbase and fellow exchange, ETORO, as well as those from other crypto companies, pizza chain Papa Johns was even roped into the center over an ad it posted for a Bitcoin promotion, which reportedly trivialized the serious nature of cryptocurrency investing.
In the US, the Securities and Exchange Commission has typically been the agency to exert force over crypto advertising. The body and June released a campaign aimed at warning investors about celebrities shilling for cryptocurrencies, a practice that reached a fever pitch during this year's Super Bowl. The SEC's biggest crackdown on celebrity crypto marketing came a few months later when it fined Kim Kardashian, 1.26 million for promoting a token without disclosing her compensation. The case mirrored finds that the SEC handed out in 2018 to boxer Floyd Mayweather and music producer DJ Khaled, both of whom were said to have improperly shielded for crypto. Just how far the SEC is willing to go to protect investors remains unclear, critics have blamed the agency and its chair Gary Gensler for spending too much energy on cases involving
big names, but small blast radii, such as Kim on the Super Bowl, as opposed to problems including FTX's alleged fraud, which could directly impact up to 1 million investors. As government sharpened their focus on regulating the crypto industry, advertising may be stuck in the crosshairs, a class action lawsuit recently filed in the aftermath of FTX demonstrates this. Not only would CEO Sam Mankster fraud a bankman-froid freed, blamed for misleading investors, but so too were celebrity marketing ambassadors, including Tom Brady, Giselle Bunchan, and Steph Curry. Part of the scheme employed by the FTX entities involved utilizing some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment, the complaint said, moreover, none of these defendants performed
any due diligence prior to marketing these FTX products to the public. That's what we know when I read the trades for you, but there's more news about crypto this week. The FTX collapse highlighted many flaws in the crypto industry according to coinchelligraphs.com. Now the effects of the FTX debacle have broken into the non-fungible token space, with users unable to view their NFTs.
As you probably know, to your sick of it by now, NFTs are things that you can buy but not own. There's the innovation right there, in a tweet, Solana, engineer, Jack, xb.so, pointed out on the metadata of FTX hosted NFTs, now points to a restructuring website that gives out information about bankruptcy proceedings. According to that engineer, the NFTs minted on FTX were hosted using a Web 2 application interface, a programming interface, and your API, resulting in images not showing. You see we're in Web 3 now, ladies and gentlemen, in case you didn't notice. After the FTX, that's the innovation. After the FTX exchange filed for bankruptcy, the FTX.us domain was entirely redirected
to the bankruptcy page. Because of this, NFT owners are still able to see that their NFTs exist somewhere out there. However, images cannot be seen anymore, even when viewing them within wallets or listing them on NFT trading platforms. The engineer called out to collections that are still hosting metadata on Amazon Web services, suggesting there's a lesson to be learned with how FTX hosted their NFTs using a Web 2 API service. Some users even commented this highlights problems with Web 3 companies, like FTX, relying on centralized services like Amazon or the Google Cloud platform. Way back in August, NFT executives brought up the topic of NFTs not living on the
blockchain. Too much jargon? Stop me. In the coin telegraph interview, Jonathan Victor at Protocol Labs and another guy, Alex Salnikov, the co-founder of Rarerable, explained that technically the tokens are stored somewhere else. The duo highlighted that main chains, blockchains, often are very limited in size. And that it costs more to store data on the blockchain. Now this whole innovation, starting with Satoshi, so-called, we don't know who he is, back in 2008, introducing the concept of the blockchain as being the most reliable way to keep track of transactions, it being universal, and not requiring trust. Oh, despite the troubles brought about by the FTX, collapse the NFT industry remains
confident in the future of the space. Last November, various players within the NFT space spoke with coin telegraph.com, expressed their confidence that the space will eventually recover. It'll reopen as a best Western hotel. No, the executive has highlighted that it's important for the NFT community to focus on bringing more utility to their collections, like having them be visible would be one. You bought this, you don't own it, and now you can't see it. That is progress. And it has spread down under, pardon me, tens of thousands of Australian investors with savings tied up in crypto currency, as well as pensions, remain its expense, because a major Australian broker collapsed into voluntary bankruptcy.
Digital surge throws the trending accounts of its 30,000 clients last month, according to the Australian ABC. This means people with money in the broker cannot access their funds. Well, if you can't see your NFTs, what do you need your funds for? Now, a month later, the cryptocurrency broker, based in Brisbane, as I say, entered voluntary administration, that's something a company does when it is either at risk of insolvency or is already insolvent. Digital surges administrators confirmed the company had about 30,000 clients have been offering them trading in more than 300 cryptocurrencies. The woes being experienced by digital surge are, guess what, tied to the collapse of FTX. That company, once promoted by stars like Tom Brady and Larry David, declared bankruptcy
in early November after revelations about its business practices, led to a run on funds by customers. Now let's just review, I knew I don't know Larry David now, but he co-created Seinfeld and he created Curb Your Enthusiasm. He's getting current recurring income from both of those interests, but he needed to promote FTX, you know, just for a little side-stash. You know, Australia people who had funds and FTX were at a loss about what their next steps are. ABC News Australia says some individuals are facing losses upwards of $338,000. Meanwhile values of the so-called coins at the center of cryptocurrency markets are continuing
to crash, digital surge hasn't yet revealed how much of its clients cash is caught up in the FTX sewer. Now that the company is in administration, both its managers and the tens of thousands of creditors have to decide if they should try to keep it going or wind up the company and divvy up whatever assets are left over. The chief executive of the company said if creditors decided to save it, directors would make a payment in excess of $1 million Australian dollars. Any wrote that profits from digital surge will be applied to consumer balances for the next five years. Purpose of this is to provide an opportunity for you, our users, to be made whole over time, you know, like five years. Many investors are asking for answers about how their savings in the Australian exchange
appear to have been traded into FTX. See how this stuff can spread just like COVID, but you get over COVID. The main security's regulator in Australia has nothing to do with crypto. It says it's very concerned that Australians who invested in crypto may not have fully understood the risks and may have lost money in this year's collapse. As I see in the name of the regulator, has repeatedly warned investors that crypto is incredibly risky, inherently volatile, and complex. Unquote. The Australian government is looking at tighter laws now to regulate that form of trading. What the whole idea was not to have regulation, so we could still more money. So that's the real world, ladies and gentlemen, and now we begin a look back at the last
12 months, regular December feature of Lysho. Direct from the trading floor of Cori and Slogam Oliver, this is mind your own business. I'm Mike Tuternello on the virtual trading floor, the real ones in storage. In the conventional markets, stocks and bonds, volatility is good for business. When asset prices go up and down, people buy and sell. Writing alternative waves of greed and fear. But with last year's influx of so-called retail investors, who get into the markets by a Reddit or other internet sources, volatility can be bad. One big dive in prices can discourage them from any further involvement. After all, one good definition of a retail investor is one of the things markets only
go in one direction. Up. Newer kinds of investments may have similar problems or not. The person behind one such asset class is joining Sylvia Meal Argent today at the Money High Desk. Thanks, Mike. This week cryptocurrencies had their own big price drops, but at least one believer wasn't worried, because his new cryptocurrency isn't for sale yet. Griff Lauder is the man behind musk coin. Griff, you're still, I guess you could say bullish on yourself. I'd say bullseye to that, Sylvia. Those of us at SureThings.com all ate of us think the sky's the limit for musk coin. Anyone who doesn't is violating our code of confidence. By the way, we're the first in the industry to have such a code. I'm very proud of that. Well there are reports that expressing anything less than full confidence in the prospect of musk coin is a firing offense that SureThings.com. Well there are reports that the moon landing was fake too.
Maybe next question. Some critics on an off-reddit have said that people could be misled by the name of your cryptocurrency. Or you mean simply because the richest man on the world is not directly a part of our project? That's the suggestion. And that's like saying the Tesla cars misleading because the great inventor Nikola Tesla has nothing to do with it. I don't think anybody would be quicker to pick up on that point than the richest man in the world. Or his lawyers. Okay. Well, why is musk coin different or maybe even better than other cryptocurrencies? Well, all of our other competitors are a bit coin and a theorem. Have nothing to base the value of their currencies on. This is why their prices fluctuate. So wildly, musk coin takes inspiration from our namesake by basing its value on something large and valuable and not prone to scurry sweeps up and down. And what is that?
Mars. Arping innovation is a piece of software that has assessed the value of the elements in the Martian soil down to the maximum, a mindable level. You know how much lithium there is and just one Martian sea. Well, but until there's human activity on Mars, that lithium isn't available to us, is it? Exactly. That's the belt-in upward driver of the musk coin. The closer we get to getting closer, the more Mars is worth, unless we somehow blow up the planet. The price of a musk coin can never go down. Well, speaking of the richest man in the world, has he gotten in contact with shortthings.com personally? Yeah, that's part of the exciting part. He sent us a text saying he was honored and was going to start accepting musk coin in payment for his cars. Well, that's the thing. And then he sent another text saying he couldn't accept it in payment, but he was even more honored. Yeah. That must be a big boost. Then he sent a registered letter that he wasn't honored at all. So clearly we're on his radar, although I'm sure he's thinking up something way cooler
than radar. So Griff, when does musk coin make its debut on crypto exchanges? Certainly, it doesn't need any regulatory approval. No. As soon as our application for a Swiss bank account clears, we're ready to drop our first digital ad featuring five recently retired pro golfers. Well, I wouldn't think those endorsers would necessarily be relevant to the most likely crypto adopters, young people. Haha, but think about it, Sylvia. What says no volatility better than golf? Griff flatter. Good luck with musk coin. In the money honey desk, I'm Sylvia MealArgent. That's mine, you're on business for today. From the virtual trading floor, I'm Mike Tunnello saying, as always, this week, mind the business of someone you love so long. As I think everybody knows by now, this was our third year in the COVID barrel. And it was a time when COVID is over, was a dominant feature of people's thoughts, starting
in the summer, continuing through now, maybe, maybe not. Don't you dare brandish that mask around me, mister. But one guy proved an international television. He was not taking COVID precautions lightly. Gee honey, that's a lot of tableware. How many people are coming over for dinner? Oh, everybody from my office. Wow, I don't think we've got a big enough table. You know what? I don't Aiza. Hi, I'm Jim Putin. How many times have you had that problem? And I'm Jackie Putin. And at a time like this, putting an extra leaf in your dining room table is way too much hassle. That's because in today's COVID alert world, a dining room table just isn't enough table.
But now you know it is enough, the super patented Putin table. It's long enough to seat the entire office crew. Plus the elevator and parking gang. Yeah, it's graceful lines say, long can be beautiful. And it's sleek shape says long can fit into your dining or function room with only the most minimal reconstruction. The Putin table is strong. The three leg platform base can support tableware for 40. And no one feels crowded. Or away from the action. No children's table needed. They can sit way at the far end of the Putin table and still feel like they're part of the grown up fun. Before the super patented Putin table, you'd have to hire your own carpenter to build a table this sturdy. But now during the special operation sale, the Putin table can be yours for far less than a made-to-order compromise. We hate those. Just call the number on your screen or write to the web address on your screen. Or just yell at your screen to order your own Putin table. You know we're listening.
Honey, this Putin table is great. Yeah, everybody's got room for two. The Putin table is not nationally regulated furniture, sit at your own risk. But it seems my face is wrong. I don't fit in. Because I don't have cowboy, cowboy lips. with all my buddies my snakeskin roots and my belt buckle shine but they don't
talk to me even when I know their song I'm in the wrong key because I don't have cowboy, cowboy lips, cowboy lips cowboy lips are all right Give me cowboy lips, cowboy lips are all right, hey, hey, give me cowboy lips, cowboy lips, cowboy lips. When I'm on honky-tonken, I smoke my marbles with the filters off.
It makes me cough, while I can stomach, long star beer, but that shot's a fry. I can only get by cowboy, cowboy lips, cowboy lips. Give me cowboy lips, cowboy lips are all right, hey, hey, give me cowboy lips, cowboy lips are all right, hey, give me cowboy lips. From New Orleans, this is Lucho, we'll get back to looking back and rancor after this
apology of the week. Dateline Tulso Cahoma, a Tulsa man is calling for airlines to better accommodate customers that need special assistance. This after his wheelchair, that he uses every day, was sent on another flight to the other side of the country. Mistake left him waiting at the airport for hours before he could go home. Emeka Nanaka said when his flight landed in Tulsa, airport staff informed him that his wheelchair was not on board. I'm kind of met with a couple of different people and one of the guys is like, hey, I've got bad news that Nanaka, he tells me they lost my chair. His wheelchair was put in the hands of American Airlines staff to store under the plane after he was trapped in.
Nanaka said it was frantic, tracking down where his wheelchair was. American Airlines informed him the chair was sent on a different flight to Charlotte. Instead of heading home, he was forced to wait until it arrived in Tulsa hours later. He said he had to sit in three different chairs at the airport, each becoming unbearable, because of his large frame. Quote my legs would spasm, I'm having to call for help and they have to call someone big enough to pick me up. Quote American Airlines sent this message to a local Tulsa TV station. We strive to deliver a positive travel experience for all of our customers and recognize how important it is to support the independence of customers with disabilities as they travel. We sincerely apologize to Mr. Nanaka for the delay in receiving his assistive device. A member of our team has reached out to the customer to apologize and learn more about
his experience. You really think there's more to know? The airline also said it has offered $400 in trip credits. Meanwhile, Nanaka said he's offered to help American Airlines moving forward about how to prevent something like this from happening again. Put a little radio thing on the wheelchair, the kind that's letting guys stalk women again. Just to thought, the apology of the week, ladies and gentlemen, and now looking back a little bit, I think it was March or April, kind of the same, aren't they? When CNN decided to join the streaming hordes and start what, on first thought, would seem like a contradiction in terms, a streaming news channel, CNN plus, I mean, news is live
and that's not streaming. But no, they had a whole other thing going on there, including having lured Chris Wallace over from Fox News to do a show of his own. Now, who's talking to Chris Wallace and here talking to who is Chris Wallace? And hello again from CNN plus, plus, double, minus, plus, today I'm talking to the best known South Carolina senator since John C. Calhoun, he's Lindsey Graham, Senator Graham welcome to who's talking to me? Well thanks Chris, it's a great honor to be the first guest to talking to you.
Well Senator, let's start with something you said a couple of weeks ago. You said, and I'm paraphrasing you here because we don't have a full research department up and running yet. You said you hope somebody would come along and assassinate President Putin. Did you mean that literally? Well, I'm trying to think of a way that I didn't mean it literally. You mean like assassinate his character, he's done a pretty good job of that himself. Yeah, I think he could say I was literally saying it literally. Okay, we've nailed that down. Let's turn to this week. When you, Chris, I've spent the last four or five days talking about, well, but I want to drill a little deeper about, I made it clear. I had the greatest respect for Judge Jackson, but you wouldn't let her finish or answer and I'm not letting you finish your question.
It's nothing personal. It's just my way of continuing to speak. All right. Your line of questioning of Judge Jackson focused on her sentences in child abuse cases. Why were you so focused on those particular cases? Chris, don't you think child abuse cases are particularly horrible? Well, of course, Senator, but there are lots of horrible crimes that aren't child abuse cases, aren't there? I mean, for example, no, no, I understand where you're going with this, both sides of them. Chris, except this list of other horrible crimes is lots of other sides of them, in my opinion. Maybe you like Judge Jackson, don't see something especially disturbing in crimes against vulnerable, innocent, sweet, beautiful, young human beings, but I do, of course I do, Senator, but I know you do, Chris. That was just a figure freedom of speech. I happen to believe in that. I don't know about Judge Jackson, but I happen to be an American, well, Senator Graham, were you suggesting by your questions that Judge Jackson was an American?
I was just waiting for you to finish your question, Chris. I had finished. Okay. Good. Usually they're longer. Say, when I ask a question, Chris, I'm only doing one thing and one thing only, serving the people of South Carolina, but making full use of the time their Senator has been allotted for the asking of questions. All right, but if I may, Senator, Chris, of course, you may, it's your show, at least for a while. Well, I appreciate your confidence, Senator, but you didn't ask the Judge questions about her sentencing, practice, and any other kinds of cases that does suggest what it suggests to me is the abuse of trusting and defenseless young people is particularly evil and threatening to the future of our communities. I feel, for those young people, well, but you voted on three other Supreme Court candidates who also gave out sentences that were less than maximum, too.
These are downy, cheap little boys and girls, if a big old United States Senator has a soft spot for them or a hard spot, I think it's a good thing. Maybe you or the Judge disagree. I'm just trying to ask you a question, Senator. That's exactly what I was trying to do, Chris. We're on the same side here. All right. Well, that's probably as good a place as I need to wrap up this conversation, Senator. I think other people who come here to chat with me have at least two big shoes to fill. Thanks, Chris. I just wish that they or you could come with me one time to visit some of these youngsters, but of course, that's strictly prohibited. Understood. Next week, someone else will talk to me. Until then, I'm Chris Waller, saying goodbye plus from Washington. Ahh.
Uh. The old Matte Kid. Uh. Okay, okay. He don't come up once a year I say, hey, I ain't always saying Nick Who comes up once a year He comes running with his presence Every time they call him dear He keeps on changing his pocket In case the children are at home He gives them all some pennies So they will leave him alone
So, leave your back door open So, with anybody smells a mouse Because he'll be in deep trouble With no chimney in the house They call him back to sound He makes his runs at the break of day Makes all the liggas happy while While the boys are at the play He keeps on changing his pocket In case the children are at home
He gives them all some pennies So they will leave him alone So, leave your back door open So, with anybody smells a mouse Because he'll be in deep trouble With no chimney in the house He say, come back to sound He makes his runs at the break of day Makes all the liggas happy while While the boys are at the play And speaking as we were at the beginning of today's program about innovation Here's one the crypto bros Haven't come up with yet 2022
The year we rebuked When I saw the crypto values go down I got so worried There went all our life savings Then my broker said, don't worry We had bought crypto to pay for our daughter's wedding She called us in cheers And my husband told her, don't worry Our crypto account was going towards my retirement That's why I was so relieved to hear Don't worry Hey, I'm Kevin And if you've invested from 10 to $10,000 or more in crypto I've got the best news since the invention of crypto itself As long as you made the right investment choice You've missed out on something big this past week All those crashing values of almost all crypto currencies Why did I say almost all? Because that right investment choice was and is zyptocoin You might be asking yourself, Kevin, what's so different about zyptocoin And that's where I come in
You see other digital currencies have values that fluctuate from day to day Sometimes the fluctuations are pretty wild And if you're not watching every minute, that can be painful But not zyptocoin It's rock solid Its value is set at zero on day one That's what we call the zero one advantage And it can never change When and if you want to convert back to all fashion dollars Your zyptocoin account is available to you 24-7 plus All my other crypto owning friends are kind of panicking right now But as a zyptocoin holder I always know right where he stands Right about now, they're intervening me Our zyptocoin rep told us on day one We could rest easy Our account would never suddenly drop 10, 20, even 50% in a week Or a day Maybe you like roller coasters But not for your money or retirement fund, your investment fund, your rainy day fund You don't have to check your zyptocoin account every hour or every day
Not even every year It's always where it started on day one That's the zero one advantage As an accountant, I know that planning is a key part of financial planning When the value of a crypto account is locked in from day one That makes planning so much easier And cheaper As I tell all my clients, excitement is great for your entertainment But not for your money Hi, it's Kevin again If right about now you're thinking, hey Kevin, this zyptocoin sounds like it's too good to be true Don't worry, it isn't There's no bad time to open a zyptocoin account But right now, when other crypto values are plunging, is the perfect time to join the zyptocoin army The growing number of folks who enjoy the peace of mind and knowing their crypto account Their zyptocoin account is right where they left it You know, outer space might be a nice place to visit But for your money, there's no place like rock bottom The 800 number on your screen is a great way to start enjoying the two greatest words in financial English
Don't worry Don't worry And one more item from the smart, smart world? That we're all inhabiting We're sir not inhibiting it More than $70,000 websites belonging to Fortune 500 brands, government agencies and universities Share consumers data with Twitter using data tracking code hosted on these other organizations websites. That's according to research published by ad analytics, yet a Twitter like most other digital advertising platforms offers free snippets of JavaScript code that along with a single pixel embedded in pages, tracks users so advertisers can send targeted ads. These trackers have included, well, they've landed other tech giants, including Meta, Google, and TikTok in trouble for breaching consumer privacy rules by collecting sensitive
personal data in its report, analytics analyzed web data from hundreds of thousands of websites to see which one or ones utilized Twitter's tracking code as of November. It found that despite public statements about suspending ads after Elon Musk took over his chief tweet, his self-description, at least 70,772 websites were still using Twitter's advertising code and tracking pixel on their pages in addition to sharing info on their visitors, including cookie IDs, IP addresses, and browsing data with Twitter, analytics, at data organization that essentially tracks web trackers, also observed some websites sharing hashed emails and phone numbers with the platform. There's a tool that organizations can enable to restrict what Twitter can do with this data.
It requires the advertiser to send a parameter to Twitter, specifying the organization wants Twitter to limit its use of data collected for an individual conversion event, nothing religious, looking in an ad and then buying the product is conversion. When enabled Twitter will limit the use of personal data received in connection with the restricted conversion event to certain business purposes on behalf of the advertiser, such as measurement, however the vast majority of these entities haven't enabled that tool. Virtually all websites examined in this study that had the Twitter pixel were not using the restricted data usage feature. This reporting from the British tech journal The Register, which notes that at least two of Musk's other companies, SpaceX and Tesla, don't host any Twitter tracking code on their websites, Apple, Apple.com, various other Apple owned properties like Shazam.com and
BeatsbyDray.com didn't load any code from Twitter. But major corporations aren't the only ones sharing customer data with Twitter. Many websites per due in the University of California and nonprofit groups like Alzheimer's Association and Doctors Without Borders all share data with Twitter, so do healthcare websites and major news publishers, including the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Websites belonging to US government agencies, including Health and Human Services and Education, as well as the Australian government of foreign affairs, were seeing sending data to Twitter. Spokesman for the Department of Education declined to say if the DOE planned to change its data tracking policy.
He said it was the only organization that responded to the register's requests for comment. So maybe it'll just change that. Analytics also said it documented other government websites, including the FBI and that Department of Homeland Security embedding Twitter code on their pages without enabling security features or content security policy headers. If Twitter itself were ever to suffer a breach, a foreign threat actor could leverage their control over Twitter's code to deface or hack these sensitive government websites. While the authors say it's unclear what Twitter could legally do with this treasure trove of information, it has collected about consumers. There does not appear to be any legislation laws or legal mechanisms in the US that would allow organizational entities to direct Twitter to delete large amounts of such data. Risingly perhaps, Twitter did not respond to the register's submitted questions.
It's a smart, smart, smart world. This year marked a raft of newsworthy divorces, but none more significant perhaps than the slow motion divorce between former President Trump and media mogul, Rupert Murdoch, keeping up with the Murdoch's. So lucky are you only get the writing strings for the hearings, but how did the internal demographic look? Yep, she has sucked her last point of blood. So the demos, I'd have to check on those, you know, I'm going this granular for a while.
Yeah, I was distracted, fortunately the distraction had a prenup. So get back to me on that stuff, sounds like you've got another call. All right, junior, don't let the place burn down. Hello? Rupert, it's Donald. I kept trying the other number, but some woman kept answering. She sounded like she was a Texan in English. Yeah, this is my new number. I was going to share it with you when- We got it from the girl. So listen Rupert, what the hell is going on aside from the divorce which I had to read about in the New York Times? Just with that, your own paper couldn't get the scoop. We were trying to keep it a bit hush hush. So the time seemed the appropriate place to leak it. Frankly, Donald, the time would come in my life where I wanted to spend less time with my family. Got you.
Cute twist. So look, you need some names, you know, some hot chicks to restore the pot. I got a freaking database full of them. Oh, I'm good. So if there's nothing else on your mind, I- What the hell is going on here? I remember a time not so long ago when you begged me to stay on the phone with you. When we'd spend much of the day just discussing the president. If I'm not mistaken, Don, that's when you were president. Right. So that's what I call to talk about, Rupert. I'm hearing from friends, your friends, my friends, all kinds of friends. Are you turning your attention from Donald Trump to run this sentence? What the freaking frack is that all about? The guy is a dime store pal with all the charisma of a wet dish rag. Don, it's weird. I'm older than you, but appears I'm more interested in the future of the party and the country, as well as the network. You were the perfect man for the job, which was taking Hillary Clinton out once and for all.
And now that the job description is shining, yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead, please, tell me about the future. Please, only I do hear sign from playing absolute killer golf every day of the friggin' week is think about the future, plan for the future, think about the people who screwed me over who are going to get theirs back in the future, but I will tell you this, I don't view the future at some time when I shell out to Disney and just wait around for Mickey Mouse escape buddies to stand up for America. Donald don't get me wrong. I was a great admirer of yours, the way you commanded a crowd, the way you set a national agenda, the way you crushed your opponents. Was? So like, that's all still happening, but you don't admire it anymore? You know? I should know better. Yours was the network that made that Arizona call that started all this, that crazy guy doesn't call Arizona early, all our plans still have a chance to work, right? Donald, the guy was Chris Stuyawalt, we fired him, what more did you expect us to do?
Asphyxiate him in the third floor men's room and then dump his body out the window onto sixth avenue? Now you ask. I've got news for you, my friend, the windows facing sixth avenue, don't open. Okay. Look, I know a guy who can fix those windows and never mind, obviously you've got pressure from the few sponsors you've got left to think Ron DeSatic was is the sexy new thing and by sexy, I mean, I don't know what I mean, I guess the company that banks the hard on pills, they know, right? They're all over your channel, those pills, what's with your viewers, Rupert? Donald, I've got much less important things to focus on right now. I got that day to be. Thanks all the time, I'm just going to go down to no boon, hang out, cheers. Next time, will there be a divorce trial? Will it be televised?
Will it be on Locklands channel? What time on keeping up with the Murdox? What time on keeping up with the Murdox? What time on keeping up with the Murdox? Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's going to conclude this week's edition of the show,
back next week with more ear and ear buke and other things, and I'd be just like running a crypto scam yourself if you agree with me then. Would you already thank you very much, huh? Tip of the show's shampoo to the San Diego Desk, and to Pam Hall's dead, and to Thomas Walsh, a WWW, I know him, right here in New Orleans for help with the day's program, the email address, yes, this show has one. Your chance to get cars I take, cars I talk to you shirts, I don't even remember how to say it, and your playlist, copy of the playlist of the music heard here on you, as well
as so many other things to see, read, hear, and ponder, all at harryshirror.com, and yes, another week, went on Twitter at the harryshirror.
