The Debate: Social media safeguards, music fight on TikTok and school vs. solar eclipse.

The Debate with Mike Le Couteur

02-02-2024 • 40 mins

In this episode Sean Tepper and Neil Hedley debate:

  • Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized to families whose kids were exploited on social media. It happened during U.S. Senate hearings into social media safeguards. Do you think this could signal a change from social media companies?
  • Some popular music has vanished from TikTok as Universal Music Group is locked in a contract dispute with the platform. UMG claims TikTok has offered to pay its artists a fraction of the rate other platforms do. Who will win this battle?
  • More school boards are changing an up-coming day off for students because of a solar eclipse. There are concerns kids may look at the afternoon eclipse with a naked eye, as they leave school. Do you agree with this move?
