  • 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 It’s so outdated.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.

Frances Haugen’s social reckoning
Q: How hard is it to get powerful people to change something they're doing?
The episode does not directly answer this question; it focuses on Haugen's document collection, the company's response and the challenges of whistleblowing.
Frances Haugen’s social reckoning
Q: So how did she get away with it? And why does she think it'd be hard to do it again?
Haugen used a separate phone to photograph documents on her work laptop, transferred the images to a clean computer, and collected the most sensitive material near the end of her employment. She says Facebook's later restrictions on internal research access would make a similar effort much harder today.
Government lawyers face a whistleblower’s dilemma
Q: What should government lawyers consider before they step up as whistleblowers?
Zaid advises them to seek legal advice early, assess their objectives and tolerance for risk, consider where they are licensed, and avoid unusual handling of documents that could create a trace or compromise them.
Government lawyers face a whistleblower’s dilemma
Q: Why is whistleblower attorney Mark Zaid seeing so many government attorneys quietly coming forward now?
Zaid says government lawyers are increasingly asked to assess the legality of administration actions, and some believe those actions conflict with the rule of law. He cites an ICE-related policy change involving administrative rather than judicial warrants.
If deepfakes are getting better, can we trust our lying eyes?
Q: Do you think we'll ever get back to a world where seeing something is a reason to believe it?
Farid says he wants to answer yes but cannot, reflecting his uncertainty about whether trust in visual evidence can return.
