Uber moves into the fintech sphere with features customized to its services #BCSTT

It’s hard to remember that “free” services are never really free. The data we provide for apps can be used in unforeseen ways, and for TikTok, the government is worried that China is taking advantage of this user unclarity #BCSTT https://t.co/61hFOayQRO

I wonder what precautions Facebook is taking to prevent the problems that happened in its previous endeavors in news publishing #BCSTT

[WIRED @WIRED]

Is Facebook a savior or killer of journalism? Facebook is trying again with publishers by rolling out Facebook News, a dedicated space showcasing “quality journalism” from news outlets, curated by a team of human Facebook employees. https://t.co/CsZk9dDuXB

Send in the drones. Amazon, Alphabet and Uber are firing up fleets of unmanned aircraft in a race to deliver everything from electronics to food. #BCSTT https://t.co/BXr977UpNV

I can't believe TechTrek East is over! This class has taught me so much in the span of 1/2 a semester, that I never would have had the chance to experience otherwise, and has made me more inquisitive. At least future Shea Center events will fulfill these curiosities! #BCSTT

This brings up the common dilemma in tech: how conducive an environment should the US government create for US tech companies to disrupt global markets without risking the privacy of its citizens and the dangers that these technologies may create? (pt 2/2) #BCSTT

On Wednesday during a Congressional hearing, Zuckerberg expressed concerns that if the US government doesn't become more receptive to Libra, China may have the upper-hand on the race with its proposal to provide a digital version of its currency, the yuan (pt 1/2) #BCSTT

Wow, I can’t believe the amazing experience TechTrek East has been. It will definitely be one of the most memorable experiences from my years at BC, and influence the way I think about what I want out of a career. I highly recommend to anyone thinking of going! #BCSTT

A delight to be with a fine group of @BostonCollege students at TwitterNY. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with you & discussing timely policy issues with implications for innovation and the Internet ecosystem. Enjoy the rest of your visit :) #WeAreBC #BCSTT @BCAlumni

[Elizabeth Berkhan @ElizabethBerkh1]

Just finished an amazing visit @Twitter with @ColinCrowell and @MikeVPerry discussing relevant topics ranging from fake news to foreign affairs. Thank you for sharing your invaluable insight! #BCSTT

[Dennis Crowley 🇺🇸 (mostly on Threads, @dens) @dens]

Just did a Q&A with a great group of students from Boston College Biz School (visiting 10+ NYC tech companies in 2 days). Lots of great Qs, and great swag (👧🏼❄️ will get the notebook and I’ll eat those bitcoins) #BCSTT (ps: and give @mary__holt an A+!)

[Elizabeth Berkhan @ElizabethBerkh1]

Off to a good start for day 2 after visiting @MetLife and @dens at @Foursquare ! Excited to meet with @GoldmanSachs next! #BCSTT

Recent WeWork development: SoftBank offers a potential solution to simultaneously resolve its financing issues whilst reducing Neumann’s voting power #BCSTT https://t.co/OHjtUSLbcx

@realTommyRonan It will be really interesting to see if these products will integrate AI functionality. We’ll definitely be prepared with AI-related questions for the representatives if they do! #BCSTT

“The job of a CEO is not to save the world,” says corporate communication expert Paul Argenti amidst the NBA-China controversy. He advises corporate leaders to be vocal only on issues that matter to their companies—and otherwise stand down. #BCSTT https://t.co/l1ZfVFc352

Elizabeth Warren published an ad with false claims about Zuckerberg on Facebook in order to prove a point, amidst direct tensions between the two - this ironically demonstrates the problems FB continues to face over the lack of regulation of "fake news" #BCSTT #D

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign ran an ad on Facebook that falsely claims CEO Mark Zuckerberg endorsed Trump, in a bid to highlight complaints about the social-media giant's handling of misinformation https://t.co/zqmsYKBfcU

Blu-ray players were still being sold? #BCSTT

[WSJ Tech @WSJTech]

With Samsung’s decision to stop making Blu-ray players, the last vestiges of physical media are going extinct https://t.co/T3P8UdyJVu

WeWork is in the process of making budget cuts after its IPO flop. One of its latest actions: closing down WeGrow, a private elementary school founded by previous CEO, Adam Neumann's, wife. #BCSTT
