Dan and Mike welcome Tom Sulston, co-founder and Head of Policy at Digital Rights Watch, for a timely conversation about digital rights issues including AI's impact on democracy, misinformation, privacy concerns, and Australia's controversial social media ban that's unexpectedly caught Reddit in its scope. The episode also covers major tech news including Microsoft's widespread Azure outage caused by a configuration error, the Bureau of Meteorology's embattled website redesign potentially costing $150 million, Google's $100,000 bug bounty payout for Chrome vulnerabilities, and the peculiar stockpiling of thousands of unsold Chinese electric vehicles near Jamberoo - raising questions about carbon credit exploitation and connected-car surveillance capabilities.
