Ep.244 - Online Safety Bill, Inconvenience & dream hampton

In a week where:

1. TikTok fined €345m for breaking EU data law on children’s accounts.
2. Russell Brand is accused of Rape; Sexual & Emotional Abuse.
3. Sir Horace Ové - pioneering British filmmaker - dies aged 86.
4. French ski resort closes forever due to lack of snow.
5. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau accuses India of murdering Sikh community leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil.

In Tech - (10:26) After a couple years of delay, the UK Government is getting the much talked about Online Safety Bill cracking after passing the bill this past Tuesday.

In Environment - (17:40) We want to save the planet, right? Right. As long as it doesn't inconvenience us, of course. Which - depending on the person - varies wildly. So what are the levels?

Lastly, A Long Read! (35:58) For this we head to The Atlantic for "Hip-Hop's Fiercest Critic" By Spencer Kornhaber. This lengthy profile covers writer/filmmaker dream hampton and her friction-filled relationship with Hip-Hop.
