Ikea Sonos speakers, Facebook eavesdropping & backdoors for spies [S17E03]

Listen Later

This week the team discuss:

  • Ikea's new SYMFONISK speakers powered by Sonos. Cheaper, but similarly specced to the Sonos One are these good value for consumers and a good idea for Sonos?
  • Ewan (and others') concern that Facebook (and Google... and Amazon...) are recording our typed and spoken conversations to target advertising to us.
  • Requested by a listener, our opinions on the UK, US and Australian governments' requests to firms like Facebook to build 'backdoors' into their messaging products' encryption.

    • Let the team know your thoughts on these subjects or anything you'd like to hear covered in future via the website or Twitter.
