About this episode
James asks why politicians, including Keir Starmer, still seem so timid in tackling the harm social media can do to children. With callers from the tech world weighing in, he explores whether the safeguards already exist and why the biggest platforms so often fail to act.
Later, he analyses an extraordinary interview between NBC's Kristen Welker and Donald Trump, which the president ended abruptly after branding Welker, NBC and the 2020 election as "crooked".
