Episode 131 - Fairphone & Ethical Technology

Michael and Ivanka's Grand Podcast

We talked about Fairphone (this is not an advert!) and how much different tech companies and communities are doing to fix supply change and ethical problems. When open-source libraries are changing their websites in support of #BlackLivesMatter we could all probably be doing more.
