Former Conservative MP Lord Watson has expressed cautious optimism about his new role while raising concerns about the accountability of major technology companies. In his first public remarks since joining a leading tech firm, he acknowledged the sector’s potential but highlighted unresolved issues that demand transparency and regulatory scrutiny. Watson’s comments suggest a growing debate over how these companies balance innovation with ethical responsibility. The statement underscores tensions between industry growth and public trust in digital governance.
Lord Watson praises his new employers but says there are "legitimate questions" about big tech firms that "require answers".
