Let's fix things 64 – Need for control

Are we wise to ask companies to control what we see and hear? Guus and Joe look at the recent trends involving public outcry over content presented through different companies. With fake news being the topic of the year, more people have been asking for Facebook to take control over this situation, but is it wise to ask a private company to control what we view globally? The duo also look at companies personal ethics in presenting content, such as Spotify stopping all promotion around R Kelly. Finally, the discussion looks at how only a few decades ago, local governments and regional companies provided content guidelines for countries – now with globalization, it’s less clear, and content alongside ethics are determined by the country of origin. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/letsfixthings/message
