We find out how Big Tech companies may know more about you - than you do.

Host Claire Graham talks to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's cyber correspondent for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service Joe Tidy, about how Big Tech companies not only track what you do online – but what your friends do – and what your friends of friends do – to then target you through marketing.
