    About this Episode

    From July 1 you’ll have to pay an extra 10 per cent on digital goods and services that are imported into Australia. The Netflix tax is a catchier name for an amendment to the GST which means anything you download or stream to your computer or phone is subject to this tax. It also applies to things like eBay fees, but other companies like Netflix haven’t indicated if they’ll absorb some of that GST or make it 9.89 a month compared to 8.99. It was introduced in the 2015-16 budget but passed in May last year... but it doesn't stop there... We've already heard a lot about the iPhone 8 through leaks. Rumors say it'll have a 5.8-inch edge-to-edge screen, Touch ID fingerprint sensor built into the screen, inductive wireless charging, a new "glass sandwich" design, faster performance, and a better dual camera system. Aside from the new screen, what will be the iPhone 8's killer feature? It could be augmented reality (AR).

    For exhausted parents, YouTube’s Kids app has been a easy way to entertain young children with endless video — but there’s been increasing concern on the type of so-called kids content that’s making its way onto the platform. Following #MeToo, a new startup is building an app to combat sexual harassment at workplaces. It’s a web platform called AllVoices and it will let people anonymously report their experiences of sexual harassment at work, and will in turn aggregate that data to give companies insights on the true scale of the problem.

    08.11.17- Ban AI Robot Killers and How To Get Banned On Twitter
    In the last 10 years, artificial intelligence and robot technology has made leaps and bounds. But experts in these fields have urging governments to stop these technologies from well, killing us. Twitter needs to fix its harassment problem... again. Three weeks ago, Women took a stand on Twitter by staying off the social platform in a uniform protest called #WomenBoycottTwitter. Now this was instigated by the temporary suspension of Rose McGowan, who has been very much vocal about Harvey Weinstein and other abusers. Last week they had issues with someone deactivating Trump's account on their last day at work. The other thing is that searching #bisexual' gives error message, but not #gay or #lesbian...
