Silicon Valley Pulls Plug On InfoWars
Apple, Facebook, YouTube and Spotify ditch the conspiracy theory channel, but Twitter refuses to follow suit. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones.
Twitter refuses to follow Apple, Facebook, YouTube and Spotify in ditching the conspiracy theory channel run by Alex Jones, saying he has not broken its rules. Plus, we visit security conferences Def Con and Black Hat in Las Vegas, and we meet Vector, a new home robot that aims to capture people's imagination in a way other devices have failed to. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with 大象传媒 tech reporter Chris Foxx, and special guest Kate Bevan, editor of Which? Computing.
