Is it time to cut 'Big Tech' down to size?
The connectedness and convenience of technology has come at a cost: massive personal data leaks, devastating financial scams and fraud, sexploitation and revenge porn, a tide of misinformation, disinformation and hate speech, and growing concerns around cyberbullying and social media harm. Regulators are taking platforms to court as governments consider locking young Australians out.
But is censorship the answer - or even possible - or is it a threat to free speech? How do we stay safe online as offshore tech goliaths dominate so much of our lives?

Q+A is a television discussion program that focuses mostly on politics but ranges across all of the big issues that set Australians thinking, talking and debating.
It is driven by interaction: Q+A provides a rare opportunity for Australian citizens to directly question and hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum and Q+A is broadcast live so that not only the studio audience but also the wider audience can get involved.
We aim to create a discussion that is constructive, that reflects a diverse range of views and that provides a safe environment where people can respectfully discuss their differences.
It’s impossible to represent every view on a single panel or in one audience but we’re committed to giving participants a fair go.
In order to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, the program is presented from a range of locations around the country and all Australians are encouraged to get involved through social media as well as by joining the audience.
This is an official Australian Broadcasting Corporation RU-vid channel.
