Is crypto ready for mom and pop investors?

Today we talk about a potential win for privacy advocates, as facial recognition company Clearview AI reaches a settlement with the American Civil Liberties Union. But we still have questions.

We’ll discuss what has us … a little nervous. Here’s everything we talked about on the show today: “Authorities find human remains in Lake Mead twice in one week” from NPR “Cryptocurrency TerraUSD Falls Below Fixed Value, Triggering Selloff” from The Wall St Journal “40% of bitcoin investors are now underwater, new data shows” from CNBC “Clearview AI agrees to permanent ban on selling facial recognition to private companies” from The Verge “Opinion — Chris Murphy’s urgent abortion warning reveals a hidden GOP threat” from The Washington Post Trevor Noah’s discussion of billionaires on “The Daily Show” Tom House Is (Still) Reinventing Pitching With Mustard App from The New York Times Your donation powers the journalism you rely on. Give today to support “Make Me Smart.” Have a question or comment about something you heard on the show?
