Samsung’s exploding phones and hashtag activism

From the creator

The Engadget Podcast Ep. 10 Host Terrence O’Brien and the panel (Chris Velazco and Dana Wollman) sift through the ashes of the Galaxy Note 7 looking for insight into what went wrong, what it means for Samsung and the rest of the mobile industry. Then they'll explore how hashtags can help give people courage to speak up about their experiences. While trending topics on Twitter can’t solve bigotry, end sexual assault, or cure mental disease they can provide a sense of community and help people feel less alone.
