Episode Synopsis


This past week, a new law that will require social media sites to block harmful content 'within hours' was passed by Parliament.

Elsewhere, the 3 female hosts of a local podcast were slammed for allegedly justifying cheating on one’s partner. Were their comments really that out of line?
