Facebook Voice Calling via Inside Facebook

Facebook appears to be testing voice calling directly within the webpage for a limited number of users.

A number of users are seeing a “Call” button beside the “Send Message” and “Poke” buttons on their friend’s profile pages. When pressed the button places a call to the friend.

Facebook and Skype have been working together to bring VOIP to Facebook users as part of the social networks expansion into ubiquitous messaging systems which brings together email, sms and status updates under one interface. Facebook has been rolling out its new messaging system to all users since late last year.

Facebook’s VOIP rumours have been on the cards for a number of years but this is the first time a usable system has been seen

Back when we first launched Brains Byte Back in 2019, in one of our earliest episodes, we interview a Certified Sexual Addiction Counselor and a Professor of Gender and Sexuality studies and asked them the question “Is porn addiction real or a myth?”.

To this day it has been one of our most popular episodes ever, so we decided to revisit the topic and speak with Joshua Shea, a recovering pornography addict who is also a coach, author, and speaker who shares his story and educates others about pornography addiction.

In this episode, Shea shares with us his own story of pornography addiction, detailing how it began, why it developed in the first place, and how he overcame it.

He also opens up about his own perspective on the state of porn addiction in the world today and shares the signs of porn addiction that might indicate if someone has a problem.

He also covers why non-addicts should care about porn addiction and advice for partners who discover their loved one is a porn addict.

Additionally, he goes into detail about what a person can do after learning their partner has an addiction. And finally, he shares his thoughts on what we need to do to protect future generations of kids from developing unhealthy or addictive behaviors relating to porn.
