  • 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 It’s so outdated.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.

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.
China is run by engineers, America is run by lawyers
Q: Where do entrepreneurs fit into all of this, and does optimism persist?
The guest and host discuss how entrepreneurship exists in China but is regulated within the party system, with the party sometimes leveraging entrepreneurs while also fearing their power, which can constrain independent innovation.
China is run by engineers, America is run by lawyers
Q: Can you talk a little bit about that?
Dan explains that while rail and bridges demonstrate China's engineering prowess and the government's ability to move large-scale projects forward, there is a price in terms of limited political debate and potential constraints on entrepreneurial dynamism.
Hacking water
Q: How did the Aliquipa Water Authority attack begin and why was it significant?
It began with a remote monitoring device flashing a defacement message from the Cyber Avengers, signaling a breach; the significance lies in how a small utility could reveal a vulnerability shared with other systems through common PLCs and default passwords, highlighting systemic risk in critical infrastructure.
Proof of life
Q: Did you see this coming five years ago?
The guest recalls recognizing early deepfake risks but acknowledges the speed of the current era exceeded expectations, making rapid assessment more challenging.
