About this Episode
This week the team discuss:
- Ikea's new SYMFONISK speakers powered by Sonos. Cheaper, but similarly specced to the Sonos One are these good value for consumers and a good idea for Sonos?
- Ewan (and others') concern that Facebook (and Google... and Amazon...) are recording our typed and spoken conversations to target advertising to us.
- Requested by a listener, our opinions on the UK, US and Australian governments' requests to firms like Facebook to build 'backdoors' into their messaging products' encryption.
Let the team know your thoughts on these subjects or anything you'd like to hear covered in future via the website or Twitter.
