We're starting with the algorithm. Chanel Contos, founder of Teach
Us Consent, used a National Press Club address this week to go
after the way social media platforms funnel boys toward
misogynistic content. She asked the government for something
specific: the right to switch off the algorithm. We'll explain what
she's proposing, and what the response has been from members of
government. Then to the Lindsay Clancy trial in the US. It's a
difficult one, involving the deaths of three young children. So
we've flagged it in the episode if you'd rather skip ahead.
The Coalition has put its tobacco policy on the table - an 80% cut
to the excise, aimed at the black market rather than at smokers.
We'll take you through the argument, the numbers, and why the
health lobby is not on board. And we remember Gloria Steinem, who
died this week at 92. Links The Moms of TikTok Have Gone Insane -
