From Nine To Noon, 11:15 am on 7 March 2024

Technology correspondent Bill Bennett breaks down the end of the relationship between Australian media and Meta, which walked away from the country's news media bargaining code.

How much was the deal and what impact will its end have on local companies? Europe is ramping up efforts to reign in the tech giants, Apple's been fined  €1.8 billion and it's also dropped a 10-year project to build a self-driving electric car.
