TNW 283: Colorado's John Deere Decision - Protecting Kids on Social Media Act, Amazon Halo, Apple AR/VR Headset

A new bill was unveiled Wednesday to set a minimum age in the US for social media usage. Shoshana Weissmann of the R Street Institute joins the show to share her thoughts on this bill. Mikah talks about Amazon shutting down its Halo division and what will happen to those who bought the device within the last year. Mark Gurman returns to the show to talk more about Apple's approach to the development of its upcoming AR/VR headset and how it will be marketed to possible customers with a "scattershot" approach to what the device is capable of. Finally, Jason talks about Colorado Governor Jared Polis signing a state law allowing farmers a right to repair tractors and other equipment themselves, a law that the company John Deere heavily opposed.
