Episode 271 sees talk ranging from mistaken crypto millions to TikTok trackers and more!

Episode 271 kicks off with talk around a recent story suggesting that a third of children have adult social media accounts, in an attempt to access the full version of social sites. From there, discussion moves over to talk about TikTok and third-party tracking – something readers with long memories will remember that Facebook Meta has been doing for quite some time already.

To wrap up, the duo discuss two stories around crypto, the first around Kim Kardashian and a crypto pump and dump, and a story around a married couple who were accidently sent $10M in crypto instead of $100.
