Congress takes on Big Tech over antitrust
Hearings begin in the US over alleged anti-competitive behaviour.
The US Congress has just wrapped up the first day of an investigation into alleged anti-competitive behaviour. Avery Gardiner of the Center for Democracy & Technology in Washington DC breaks down what congress is looking to find. Also in the show, we ask whether clothing retailers are doing enough to minimise their environmental impact. Plus we hear about the increasingly widespread use of facial recognition technology in China.
