Twitter gets hacked in a Bitcoin scam, Netflix’s top 10, and Disney+ news- TNCS Ep 91

In this week’s episode we start with entertainment news by discussing the latest in streaming news.  A new animated Star Wars series is coming to Disney+ and Falcon and the Winter Soldier gets delayed.  Netflix released the viewership of their top 10 original movies and NBC affiliates boycott the 30 Rock special.  In tech news we provide an update to the numbers behind the Data Dividend Project and talk about a burger flipping robot.  We also cover the big story around the Twitter hack and some foreign nations’ cyber attacks.
