The Facial Recognition Rebellion

The law and facial recognition software collide, the charity digital skills survey is out and you *just* have a bit of time left it to complete it. And is Google news feed biased or is it just the news? Our guest this week is Lisa Murgatroyd from One Million Mentors, a national online platform to recruit, train, and deploy mentors to organisations working with young people. You can find her on Twitter - https://twitter.com/lisamurgatroyd Reminder that we're still in full crowdfunder mode! You may not know this, but we’re a team of volunteers and we survive off favours, late nights and lunch times so some cash would help us reach more people and help us champion using tech for social good. There’s only a week left and if we don’t reach the a target we get nothing so if you want to contribute to the work we’re doing, show us some love! On this weeks show...
