As the world reacts to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, we look at the lessons to be learned from the group’s data mining mistakes and ask if it’s time to get off Facebook. We also discuss the Sunrise segment that had Australia up in arms and Indigenous rights groups accusing the show of racism. Plus we look at the cake that didn’t sit so well with ABC Audience & Consumer Affairs. To discuss these issues we were joined by Myles Morgan (SBS), Miranda Ward (nine.com.au) and Ketan Joshi (CSIRO’s Data61).

This episode was hosted by Ninah Kopel. Fourth Estate is produced by 2SER 107.3 in Sydney and is broadcast across the Community Radio Network in Australia.
