Our online life is real life. We walk, talk, work, LOL and even love on the Internet – but we don’t always treat it like real life.

Whether it’s privacy breaches, closed platforms, hacking, fake news, or cyber bullying, we the people have the power to change the course of the Internet, keeping it healthy, weird, and wonderful for everyone.

Certificate Error
Very excited for this podcast, but every time my phone goes to look for new episodes, I receive an SSL certificate error. Looks like the Let's Encrypt very expired December of 2016 - pleas fix!!!
Wow, it's an eye opener
Entertaining, it keeps you interested and informed, and it will have you fearing (and rightfully so) for the whereabouts of your data.
GREAT!
So much fun! Way to go Veronica!
