It's a return to form for the U.S., with Memorial Day marking the first holiday post-pandemic featuring fewer COVID cases, more vaccinations, and less restrictions. So, how are you enjoying this new-found freedom? We share our plans, and what this could mean for the rest of 2021.

Then, Apple is allowing people to opt out of sharing their information with any downloaded apps. This doesn't sit well with Facebook, who feeds off of that information to grow their business. The battle that's ensued is something that could shape the way your information is shared. We discuss, and much more on this week's episode!

Plus, another battle with Facebook. The company is now allowing posts implying a Chinese lab sparked the Coronavirus. This after a ban on those posts not long ago. The reason why? The prevailing theory is now shifting to the idea that a lab mistake may have caused the virus to spread. What this mean for the future of our relations with China, how we share information, and how scientists research dangerous viruses? We discuss, and much more on this week's episode.
