Episode notes

This week we talk about a subject that near and dear to our hearts, something we haven't talked about in too long. It's really been too long, james, and that is facebook. We shall have to reclaim the poli a crown. That's right. I am giving up my week end so that the masses may be satisfied with our podcast sacrifice. And actually, it's continued since then.

Ben and James discuss Facebook from multiple angles, including child sexual abuse material, encryption, Oculus, and a leaked all-hands meeting.
