Our love-hate relationship with the tech giants

from The Media Show Hosted by BBC Radio 4

The tech giants receive a lot of bad press, have been accused of operating monopolies, and are even seen as security risks. So what attracts the billions of people who use TikTok, Facebook or Apple every day - often with huge enthusiasm? Plus Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite, embarks on a public battle with Apple. And is Facebook too big to fail? Panel: Richard Waterworth, TikTok’s General Manager for the UK & Europe; Laura Edwards, TikTok star; Shona Ghosh, Senior Tech Editor for Business Insider; Oliver Baker, co-founder of Intelivita; Nikita Aggarwal from the Oxford Internet Institute.
