Description: Hackers used a flaw in messaging app WhatsApp to install surveillance software on phones and other devices. What do we know about the spyware and who was targeted? Plus, San Francisco bans the use of facial recognition tech by police and other local agencies. Is it the start of a fightback against the technology? And amid fears of robots replacing humans, we visit an exhibition exploring the boundary between human and machine intelligence. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with BBC tech reporter Zoe Kleinman, and special guest Catherine Miller, Director of Policy at Doteveryone, which campaigns for a responsible internet.
