To be zucced is to be cancelled by Facebook, and last Wednesday, our dear listener friends, Australia was zucced. While there are endless play on words we can use here (get zucced, what the zucc, so on and so forth) but we won't waste your time. Today we delve into the furore we all woke up to last week when Facebook removed all news content from our feeds. Why, you may ask? Well you better tune in to - basically the Australian Government is looking to pass some legislation that spells trouble for the bank balances of big tech corporations like Google and Facebook and boy have they taken a stand. We talk the why, how and what this means for you.
We also hear from lovely listener Alyssa! She reached out to us over the week and we couldn't be more excited to feature her! C'mon, slide into our DMs with your thoughts, we know you want to...
