Associate Professor Lauren Rosewarne: Grindr, Memorials and Internet Irony

At Charlie Kirk’s memorial, tens of thousands gathered, but online, the story took a very different turn, with rumours about Grindr outages nearby.

Guest: Lauren Rosewarne, Associate Professor in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne

Presenter: Warren Andrew
