On episode #2, we continue discussing privacy news. This is our first episode dedicated solely to news. Today, we talked about the following topics: Android Changes affecting Graphene, OpenSNP shuts down, Apple gets fined $ 150 million for app tracking transparency, Roblox partners with Google on ads, Google has E2EE for Gmail business users, Bruce Schneier posting about asking about cell phone OPSEC at the border, Intimate images from kink and LGBTQ+ dating apps left exposed online, and Privacy Guides with the April fools joke.

We would love to hear back from you if you have any questions you would like answered on the show. Contact us at haris [at] bridgesafelabs.com.
