Even the safest automakers can get tripped up by code. On @ClickHereShow, we look at what happened when a #Volvo software update went wrong — and what it reveals about the risks of “move fast and break things” on the open road. #tech #cars

My latest for @ClickHereShow: under the Trump admin, ICE arrests have doubled this year. Raids have become more visible, aggressive, and militarized. So activists turned to apps and social media. What happens when speech and dissent move from the streets to the cloud?

[Click Here @ClickHereShow]

When the #Trump administration began rounding up #immigrants, a new kind of resistance took shape — digital, crowdsourced and built for the smartphone era.

Activists used apps and social media to keep watch on the government. But before long, the government started watching back.

We usually think of getting online as something that requires cables strung under oceans or buried beneath our feet. Mahesh Krishnaswamy of Taara thinks the future may lie in beams of light pointed at the sky.

What does it take to get everyone online?

This week on @ClickHereShow, we meet a Mississippi farmer who's chasing a signal, and discover that what’s really at stake isn’t just access to the internet — it’s access to the future itself.

When Richard Hunter heard about Kentucky’s generous crypto incentives, he packed up his bitcoin machines and pointed them south. He imagined a booming business, jobs for locals, and maybe — just maybe — a shot at redemption. But what he got … was a buzzkill.

This week on @ClickHereShow, we traveled to Kentucky for a story on bitcoin mining.

Since the collapse of coal, Eastern Kentucky has lived through a procession of supposed revivals. Each new idea was treated as something close to salvation.

We spent four days driving across the state, and it became clear that things like cryptomining and AI data centers may not offer a break with history — just a continuation of it.

my latest work for @ClickHereShow: the early internet was ushered in with so much hope for its utopian possibilities. But the founder of the @citizenlab , @RonDeibert , suspected there was a dark underbelly of surveillance and censorship and he was determined to unmask it.

[Click Here @ClickHereShow]

This week on @ClickHereShow, @RonDeibert tells us about how he and his team of digital sleuths at @citizenlab have been holding purveyors of high-tech surveillance to account.
