MacVoices #21110: MacVoices Live! - Amazon Sidewalk, MGM, and Movie Studios (2)

The MacVoices panel of Frank Petrie, David Ginsburg, Mike Schmitz, Jeff Gamet, Jay Miller, Jim Rea, Mark Fuccio, and Brittany Smith shifted the discussion to the privacy aspects of Amazon’s Sidewalk service, Amazon’s choice to require opt-out, and how it compares to what Apple is doing with AirTags. A healthy debate ensues, and spills over into the matter of Amazon purchasing MGM, and whether that was a missed opportunity for Apple. (Part 2)  Wondery and the "Business Movers: The Enlightenment of Steve Jobs" are supporting Macvoices.
