Hello and welcome to yet another episode of the Tech for Good Live podcast!

If you’re new here, it’s a podcast all about using technology to have a positive social impact. My main advice for any new listeners tuning in is to stop listening right now. Honestly, we’re not worth your time.

If you do decide to stick around though, we’ve some interesting stories in this week’s episode.

We’re talking about a new report into the dangers of Facebook’s encryption plans. Greenpeace wants you to help count some plastic. And, in a shocking development, Amazon continues to be absolute ass-hats. In their crosshairs this week… unions.

Host Bex is joined by TFGL team members Greg Ashton and Fay Schofield.

Our special guest this week is Joe Friel. Joe is co-founder of Yalla, a collective of web developers, designers, project managers and strategists. Yalla work with non-profit and impact-driven businesses across the UK, Gaza and Germany.

Discussed in this episode:
