About this episode

The social media giant Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, has agreed to restrict American teenagers’ use of its platforms as part of an $18bn settlement with states that accused it of harming children. We hear from a former Meta insider. Also on the programme: how climate change is increasing the likelihood of avalanches and flooding in the Himalayas; and we look back on the life of Rocky Horror Picture Show star Tim Curry.(Photo: The Meta logo is displayed on a mobile phone in Liverpool, Britain, 09 June 2026.
