Natalie Foos, director of the youth content platform VoiceBox joins Vicki to provide some young people’s perspectives on the hot (or tricky) topics from Tech Shock's season 8.
Talking points:
- In a year where half the world could be at the polls, how equipped are young people to avoid disinformation?
