Hey guys and welcome to the first podcast episode of Tanvir Talks! You might know us as This week on the internet, which is what this project previously was. After doing season 1, and getting feedback, we learnt the story we enjoyed telling the most was taking topical internet events and break them down so that you can understand it, your average consumer. So, that’s what I’ve done. It’s still the similar vibe as before, but every 2 weeks instead and we will be doing slightly more deeper dives than before. With that said, let’s get into today’s episode!Join me, your host Tanvir, and my trusted co-host, Ehsan, in the latest Tanvir Talks episode where we discuss:Trump being deplatformedWe talk through the events that led to Trump being deplatformed and explaining the rationale as to why he was deplatformed. We discuss whether Twitter was right to do that and other shortfalls we have in the social media space right now. We also talk a little bit about Parler and why they were removed off the internet as a whole. WhatsApp privacy messWhatsApp has recently caused a storm online due to forcing users to accept new privacy rules where they share information with Facebook. They have since announced that they will delay the rules coming into force, but what does it mean for the consumer? Are Facebook reading our messages? Ehsan and I discuss. Tech trends of 2021We finish off the episode discussing about what we think will be the trends in the technology space for 2021. Electric cars, cool screen technology and more. Contact me!
