THIS EPISODE
This episode we’re talking about something that’s been bothering a lot of us lately. That is, the topic of Facebook and Google vs the government and major news outlets. If you haven’t heard lately, there was a standoff between Google and the Australian government (to which Google seems to have eventually backed down), followed by Facebook and the Australian government, to which Facebook didn’t back down, but then sort of did after a while? Are you confused yet? What does this mean, and especially, what does this mean for you guys not only in Australia, but who are listening from around the world?
We speak to Mathew Ingram to discuss these issues.
Other topics discussed include
- Who’s behind these new regulations popping up everywhere
- Are news organisations complaining about platforms that give them most of their web traffic?
- Clubhouse, is it really as stupid as it seems
- Mathew’s latest article
- Closed versus open internet
