Happy Monday! Here we are again with another episode. We've jumped into the ethics rabbit hole and decided to tackle a topic that is close to our hearts: posting pictures of children online.
This is an area we've always been interested and discuss quite a lot, so we thought we should turn it into an episode!
Part 2 will come out on the 1st May.
