A viral tweet reveals surprising facts about your personal information on social media

How can you keep your personal information secure while using social media? Plus more on the student gun control movement in America.

After revelations about Facebook and the data firm Cambridge Analytica, there’s a surge in people talking about privacy and social media. Despite the best efforts of tech journalists over the years, many are only now realising how much personal information ends up in the hands of the big social networks.

On the programme this week we speak to a security expert whose tweet about privacy and social media went viral. Dylan Curran has some eye-opening details and some tips on how to keep your information secure online.

Plus, continuing coverage of the student gun control movement in America, we catch up with the three students we’ve been following since the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida. After the march on Washington, what’s next for #NeverAgain?
