How to regulate tech giants?

THIS WEEK’S episode of “Babbage” looks at the regulation tech giants face in Britain after a government-backed report. “Babbage” host Kenneth Cukier meets the review’s author, Dame Frances Cairncross, former policy editor at The Economist. She tells us how social-media platforms are starting to recognise the need for change. We ask Roger McNamee, one of Facebook’s early investors, if the company has become too powerful. We also located Hugo Freuhauf, one of the award-winning inventors of GPS. He tells us how his early atomic clock just keeps getting better with age. Runtime: 20 min.
