Governments Vs Silicon Valley

Tech Life

Available for over a year

Should tech companies share more data with governments? British minister Amber Rudd thinks so. The BBC's man in California Dave Lee reports on her tour of Silicon Valley, where she called on companies like Facebook to do more to help fight terrorism. Also on the programme: The man credited with halting the WannaCry cyber attack is arrested in the US, we get the latest. Plus, is the concept of the 'digital native' a myth? One researcher thinks so. And ahead of a major tournament this weekend, presenter Kathleen Hawkins plays FIFA against a professional e-gamer to find out what it takes to play online football for a living. This week's special guest is technology journalist Charles Arthur. (Photo: Computer security, illustrated. Credit: Getty Images)
