Our love-hate relationship with the tech giants

Joe Tidy looks under the bonnet of TikTok, Apple and Facebook.

So what attracts the billions of people who use TikTok, Facebook or Apple every day - often with huge enthusiasm? Plus Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite, embarks on a public battle with Apple. And is Facebook too big to fail?

Panel: Richard Waterworth, TikTok鈥檚 General Manager for the UK & Europe; Laura Edwards, TikTok star; Shona Ghosh, Senior Tech Editor for Business Insider; Oliver Baker, co-founder of Intelivita; Nikita Aggarwal from the Oxford Internet Institute.
