One day all tech news will merely be updates to Twitter moderation policies

Hello and welcome back to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines.

• Stocks are up around the world, which is a nice thing to wake up to. Crypto prices are down a smidgen, but nothing major.

• There's FTX-Binance drama afoot, in case that's your jam.

• On the Twitter beat, in the wake of rehires, Musk is tweaking his work on moderation policies regarding impersonation, verification appears to be on hold and more.

• PhotoRoom raised $19 million, the Unity megadeal is complete, no matter what we thought about it, and Yassir just raised $150 million from Bond. Has Bond been quiet lately? Not sure, but dang, this round was a big one.

• There's an election tomorrow in America.

And that’s our show! More Wednesday!
