Does Trump's TikTok and WeChat ban infringe on American free speech rights?
I don't think that as a legal argument you could make the case that he's violated the law. But as a principle, potentially shutting down a vibrant platform where a lot of people say a lot of stuff, it doesn't look good. I think he's in violation of the spirit of the constitution, but I have a hard time viewing it as a legal matter.
The new Apple Watch measures your blood oxygen level. Helpful or creepy?
Well, that's the new Apple Watch unveiled this week. I think it's potentially helpful. Understanding blood oxygen saturation is something that can tell you something about your current health, perhaps your current fitness. We don't know what exactly it will be useful for. That is being studied. My hope is that it will be generally valuable, and it won't constantly send us into panic mode.
