Episode description
After coming under fire earlier this year over a ‘seizure challenge’, TikTok is offering a new feature to its users who have photosensitive epilepsy. The tool will allow people to tailor their profile so that videos that could act as a trigger for a seizure are automatically skipped. Plus, robots could be the next front line workers, voice assistant users get special Black Friday deals and, space worms give an insight into how our genes behave in space.
