Sadiq Khan to slam government for 'dereliction of duty' in failing to regulate tech

Becoming first British politician to speak at SXSW tech conference in Texas, Khan will warn of abuse online and breakup of rights by sharing economy

The UK government is guilty of a "dereliction of duty" for leaving big technology firms unregulated, London mayor Sadiq Khan will warn, saying that no firm or industry is "above local rules".

Speaking on Monday at the South by South West technology conference in Austin, Texas - the first British politician to do so - Khan will criticise politicians for failing to ensure technological progress benefits all, saying that regulation is clearly out of date.
