  • Is Social Media reflective of our Society?

    Authored on March 27, 2023

    Today on the show, Steven and Shaun discuss the news that TikTok is being banned on various government-issued smartphones around the world, with France taking the biggest stand and banning a range of other social media apps too.

    But as Steven asks, "Is the content on social media the problem or is it the data being collected?" Also, is it time to have a serious debate about the content itself on social media, and whether or not it is in fact a reflection of our society, rather than an anomaly?

    Plus there's more of your feedback, including questions about the accessibility of the new Fire TVs from Amazon, and a suggestion for a new OCR system available that Steven and Shaun had not heard about.
