The connectedness and convenience of technology has come at a cost.

Monday's toughest question was on whether the panel thought government spending was fuelling inflation.
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, sexploitation and revenge porn, a tide of disinformation, hate speech, bullying and social media harm. Regulators are taking platforms to court, as governments consider locking children out.
But is censorship the answer – or even possible? How do we stay safe online as offshore tech goliaths dominate so much of our lives? And can online spaces still bring us together?
I can’t wait to hear your questions – and get you answers.
