SIM Ep 259 Chops 112: F Off Facebook?

Do social media companies wield too much power or should we all take more responsibility for what we put online? It's a question The National Youth Theatre's new play F. Off is currently asking Edinburgh Fringe audiences. Hannah grabbed some time with Tatty Hennessy, one of the show's co-creators, to chat about the Cambridge Analytica scandal, being addicted to the internet and why boycotting social media might be too simplistic a response. Get yourself off Facebook and put this in your ears! F Off is on at the Belly Button, Cowgate - Underbelly, 2 – 25 August, 12.50pm (No performance 12 August) Tickets from www.nyt.org.uk or www.underbellyedinburgh.co.uk priced from £10. Find out more at @NYTofGB. Photographs by Helen Murray Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
