3×35: Generated For The Purpose Of Journalism

1 hour 1 minute

Stuart Langridge, Jono Bacon, and Jeremy Garcia present Bad Voltage, in which

[00:02:50] Online trolls are assholes offline too, at least according to a new survey

[00:17:20] Facebook Workrooms seem to be the long-promised “Facebook Spaces”, much to Jono’s intemperate joy

[00:29:50] Excellently detailed albeit mildly depressing summary of Google’s myriad messaging apps which is worth reading

[00:40:50] The UK government’s planned “Online Harms Bill” tries, among other things, to define what a journalist is so they can be exempt from some regulations, which is possibly a very concerning development

[00:55:00] Twitter are allegedly going to start requiring viewers to be signed in to view tweets (pro tip: embrace nitter.net if this is a problem!)
