The Power of 'Big Tech'

In the past few months, the tech industry has come under increased scrutiny. Twitter, Google and Facebook, three of the companies that make up "Big Tech," are being questioned for the role they played in Russian interference before and after the election. More recently, Apple is being criticized for taking advantage of loopholes to avoid paying taxes in the United States.

These tech giants — along with other companies like Microsoft, Netflix and Amazon — have become so large and powerful that consumers are paying closer attention to how they affect our lives, while policymakers consider new regulations.

This week on Money Talking, Charlie Herman talks with Rana Foroohar, global business columnist at the Financial Times, about "Big Tech" and what the future of the industry could look like.

Tech companies are under attack for their role in Russian political interference in the 2016 election. But it's bigger than that. Do these companies need more oversight?
