HBO Max data caps, deepfakes on the dark web, big tech regulation, and NASA contracts- TNCS Ep 84

In this week’s episode we cover the latest in entertainment news.  HBO Max takes advantage of the net neutrality repeal by getting unlimited data caps on the AT&T network.  Deepfakes are being sold on the dark web for an alarmingly low cost.  Elon Musk calls for the breakup of Amazon and the European Union is asking the US to better regulate tech companies.  Apple is tracking the devices stolen during the recent looting.  Northrup Grumman is awarded a contract to design the habitation module for the future missions to establish a station on the moon.
