It's an age of reckoning for the monopolistic tendencies of Big Tech and this week veteran journalist Paul McIntyre helps us gain an understanding of the antitrust trials facing Google.

With years of experience covering the advertising industry, McIntyre sheds light on Google's online advertising dominance, how it manipulated an industry to get there, and the regulatory challenges it's now facing as a result.

He's just returned from Virginia, where he covered one of the major antitrust cases against Google and can offer a firsthand account of the proceedings and what they mean for the tech giant's future. 

In our news wrap, we explore the cautionary tale of a mental health app's chatbot led astray and consider concerns about the use of generative AI in sensitive contexts.
