It’s Christmas! It’s live! Nobody died, nothing exploded and some people even laughed...we think.For the first ever Tech for Good live podcast recording the gang discussed the extremely festive topic of the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014 (DRIPA), also known as the snoopers charter. You can expect that one to get heated and it’s not even the rant of the month.To keep things a little lighter they also talk about some video campaigns from Christmas and the rest of the year. Ben and Greg also get a tad excited about some fun new tech to help people with disabilities but to be fair to them, it is pretty amazing.The rant of the month is on the shoulders of the live audience this time round, who were a little bashful given all the booze we plied them with.
