Let's Talk Social

In this jam-packed episode of Let's Talk Social, we'll delve into the recent £12.7m fine imposed on TikTok by the UK watchdog for misusing children's data, and how it impacts the future of the platform. We'll also explore Facebook's addition of a 'broadcast' channel chat option for Groups, giving admins a powerful tool for group communication.
