Today we discuss exposé Instagram accounts

This chat was prompted after Viv was sent an Instagram account exposing the sexual assault, abuse of power and systemic inequality in NZ's entertainment/music industry

The Instagram account contains first-hand accounts from victims who are exposing some of NZ's top media personalities.

@beneaththeglassceilingnz say it's "run by people who wish to give a voice to those who have been silenced by the injustices that exist within the Aotearoa music industry. This includes sexual assault and harassment, abuse of power, bullying, systemic inequality, and more"

We also discuss

- @diet_prada and their lawsuit with Dolce & Gabbana

- the launch of Viv's new vibrator company Girls Get off! (@girlsgetoff)

- Burger King's marketing fail 

-  Facebook's new campaign against apple to stop the new privacy law which would change FB ads
