Afternoon Drive with John Maytham

Guest: Emma Sadleir, social media expert

According to Whistleblower Frances Haugen ‘Facebook products harm children, stoke division’.

Gaugen is a former data scientist at Facebook and her testimony has led to  threatening scandal in the company's history.

Before a Senate subcommittee, Haugen provided a clear and detailed perspective that revealed an extremely disturbing reality to exist in the belly of the tech giant. 

Gaugen said that Facebook harms children, sows division and undermines democracy in pursuit of breakneck growth and "astronomical profits."

Social Media Expert Emma Sadlier will join John to elaborate.

Guest: Tobias Elling Rehfeld, Ambassador of Denmark 

To reach Denmark’s goal of reducing its CO2 emissions by 70% in 2030, it will take 290,000 human years over the next 10 years. About 90,000 of these will come from unskilled workers in the building, construction and infrastructure sectors. Similarly, South Africa’s transition from coal to renewable energy will demand thousands of new jobs.

  Tobias Elling Rehfeld is Danish Ambassador to South Africa and he will join John on the subject
