Question

It's not related to animation, but a January 2022 incident involving this technology resulted in a brief period where Final Fantasy’s Tifa Lockhart was heralded as an Italian icon. (-5[1])Using this technology, a Michigan-based prosecutor named Deborah Davis deduced that an alleged (15[1])abuser was actually standing in (15[1])the same apartment as the complaining witness. A person who abused this technology was angrily instructed to “Read the standing orders! Read them and understand them!” While using this technology, (-5[1])Vishal Garg said “The last time I did it, I cried. This time, I hope to be stronger.” A clerk who used this technology to protest a Handforth (*) parish council meeting was told “You have no authority here, Jackie Weaver!” The CEO of Better.com infamously fired 900 employees using this technology. A snafu involving a filter in this technology led a lawyer to tell a judge “I'm not a cat.” For 10 points, name this software used to create virtual conference calls. ■END■ (10[2])
