Reclaiming Social Media
Manage episode 301804532 series 2344129
Welcome to the Tech for Good Live podcast! This is a weekly show all about how technology can, should, but often isn’t, used to have a positive impact on the world.
In this episode, we are talking about how a Swiss student has demonstrated Twitter’s algorithm is biased (shocker), the UK is full of ageists, social media is going to be used to vet gun ownership and McBoatyMcBoatFace may be knocked off the best named boat spot, as the ‘Flying Farage’ is gaining traction to become a reality.
Fay Schofield is on hosting duties, and she is joined by Greg Ashton and Marium Navid
Our special guest is Tereza Litsa, Digital Engagement Manager at Lightful and organiser of the #ReclaimSocial campaign.
