On the podcast this week, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg discuss why Facebook is planning to make WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram interoperable and the implications of the move — could it make the social network too dominant in electronic messaging?
Also this week, a look at reports that Facebook knowingly duped game-playing kids and their parents out of money.
Plus, Vodacom’s miserable fourth quarter and Naspers’s blockbuster deal with Russia’s Avito — how did online classifieds get so valuable?

Regardt’s pick this week is Epic Games’ Jackbox Party Pack, while Duncan has chosen TweetDeck alternative Tweeten.
