From Big Tech to Titan Tech

This week, we are looking a little deeper into the murky world of social media companies and search engines - and the gargantuan power they exercise over our online lives as well as our human rights.

Emily Hart is joined by Carolina Botero of Colombian digital rights campaign Karisma and regulation expert Dr Liza Luffdal Gormsen - they'll be looking at regulation, and talking about whether the models currently emerging in Europe can work in other contexts, given the radically different factors at play.

Hope on the Horizon

How do the titans of tech limit and manipulate our freedom of expression online?

Today we're talking about bringing Big Tech down to size - and using regulation to do it. Emily Hart is joined by Argentinian free speech expert Agustina del Campo and ARTICLE 19's Maria Luisa Stasi, who leads the organisation's work on law and policy for digital markets - they'll be digging into Europe's Digital Markets Act - the most ambitious legislation so far to tackle the issues of power concentration and anti-competitive behaviours in digital markets.
