Facebook Tightens Political Ads

Facebook to give the US Congress details of political ads placed by Russians. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones.

Facebook says it'll give the US Congress details of political ads placed by Russians during the presidential election - does the move mark a shift in its attitude to how its platform is used? Plus, how Alphabet's Google is paying $1.1bn to Taiwan's HTC to strengthen its Pixel smartphone business. And, we speak to Sayyeda Salam from the charity Save the Children about its new app designed to help Syrian refugee children in Jordan keep up with their school lessons. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with 大象传媒 tech reporter Zoe Kleinman, and special guest Ian Fogg,Senior Director, Mobile & Telecoms at IHS Markit.
