  • Biased Reporting

    Episode “The hidden power of China's video games” wants to warn listeners about a game made in china that censoring what is happening in a chinese game regarding same sex relationships. However, I missed the episode that covered Bidens whitehouse censoring physicians on Twitter and trying to find out who watched videos on YouTube regarding vaccine info. This show used to be good, now it’s just awkward. I’m not pro right or left regarding politics, but I’m pro unbiased reporting. China censors a ... more

  • Cyber cyber cyber

    So much Ai slop they give credence too on this podcast

    I also wish they wouldn’t say cyber ever three seconds on this podcast. It’s so outdated.

    And then also what’s with all the episode repeats and not disclosing it? So frustrating.

  • Please stop recycling your content. This is the third or fourth time in the past few weeks you've used the phone freaking story. It comes across as sad and greedy. If you don't have new content just don't post.

  • Irresponsibly doxxing activists

    Just heard your show for the first time. It was today's episode on the immigrant protection activist network in LA. I was stunned by the way you exposed the people, places & strategies and by so doing endangered the entire network. People will be arrested, charged & possibly disappeared under new laws that are expanding every day based on your so-called reporting. WTAF

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

When AI scrapes your art
Q: What is the core legal question facing art created with AI, and how does fair use apply?
The core issue is whether AI training that uses copyrighted works without permission constitutes fair use, or whether licensing and compensation should be required; the law currently involves a nuanced, court-driven assessment of purpose, amount, and effect on the market, with guardrails increasingly being built into models by developers.
He hacked back — and took down North Korea’s internet
Q: What was the result of the two North Korean routers being overwhelmed?
The entire North Korean internet collapsed for about nine days, affecting government portals, state media, and critical services, before being restored.
He hacked back — and took down North Korea’s internet
Q: Why did the plan to hack back spark debate among defense and policy experts?
Because offensive cyber operations involve civilian infrastructure, questions of sovereignty, and legal authorities differ from traditional military actions, making bureaucrats hesitant to endorse such methods.
He hacked back — and took down North Korea’s internet
Q: What initial step did Alejandro take after suspecting there was a vulnerability in the North Korean internet infrastructure?
He began with port scans and manual analysis to identify entry points, then expanded his reconnaissance to a wider set of targets to see if he could disrupt the network.
Iran: Why send a Tomahawk when Starlink will do?
Q: What becomes possible if internet access in Iran is expanded or protected?
Policy and public discourse could be influenced by clearer information and civic organizing within Iran, enabling more collective action and external support that is not blocked by government censorship.
