Big Tech vs The Little Guy

BBC World Service - Tech Life, Big Tech vs The Little Guy

Google begins the "right to be forgotten", are they being over-zealous?

Google implements the "right to be forgotten", but is it too keen in how it is doing so. And one San Francisco resident's response to being priced out of the city by tech money.

Google begins implementing the "right to be forgotten", but we consider whether it is being over-zealous in how it is doing so. 

As FaceBook receives criticism over a pyschological experiment it conducted on users without their knowledge, we hear from the company on how it sees itself as a force for good. 

And how one San Francisco resident has responded to being priced out of the city by the influx of tech money, by using the technology industry to make a point about itself.

Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with special guest Mike Butcher, Editor of the TechCrunch Europe website, and Dave Lee and Mark Ward from the BBC online technology desk.
