For years, companies have been collecting our data—tracking what we search, where we go, what we buy. But now, empowered by AI and fewer government protections, that data is being used to do something unsettling: personalized prices. We look at how it works.

What happens when a government erases a people’s digital past? This week on Click Here’s Mic Drop, the story of China’s quiet purge of the Uyghur web—and the lone coder determined to bring it back to life.

DEF CON began as a rogue hacker meetup. Then came the prosecutors, the NSA, and the policy panels. This week on Click Here’s Mic Drop, how a game of "Spot the Fed" turned into an uneasy alliance—and what that says about crime, power, and trust in the digital age.

It started as a going-away party… and became the most legendary hacker conference in the world. This week, Jeff Moss—aka The Dark Tangent—tells us how DEF CON began, what it became, and why it still matters.
