Facebook Defies Bad Publicity

The social media giant reveals increasing users and profits despite privacy scandals. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones.

The social media giant reveals increasing users and profits despite successive privacy scandals. But could government regulation be a cloud on Facebook's horizon? Plus, is leading Chinese telecoms firm Huawei facing being locked out of building many of the world's new 5G phone and data networks because of pressure from the US? And how the crowdfunding site GoFundMe is being used to raise money for many of life's basic needs. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with 91热爆 tech reporter Jane Wakefield, and special guest Aliya Ram, technology correspondent at the Financial Times.
