A class action lawsuit is underway in Italy against Meta and TikTok. Lawyers say they want to protect younger children from social media harm. We look at the issues. Also in Tech Life this week, we have another story about social media. It’s about farmers in Africa, so-called agri-influencers, and how they’re cultivating an online movement. Shiona McCallum tests a new maritime AI communication system. And a Japanese tech company is trying to eradicate malaria using drones.
