We’ve never had more evidence of what’s happening in the world — cameras, videos, satellite images, digital trails. Or better tools for figuring out what’s real. So why does it sometimes feel harder than ever to know what to believe? In this hour, we look at the race between truth and falsehood — and the surprising evidence that even after we’ve made up our minds, it may not be too late to change them.

Everybody has an idea for how to protect kids from the internet. Keep them off it. Make the companies fix it. Give parents more control. There is, of course, another possibility. Ask the kids. What happens when the people we’re trying to protect get a say?

Ukraine’s war has revealed something unexpected: some of the most important military innovations aren’t coming from giant defense companies. They’re coming from people who learned to move fast, experiment, and adapt online. This week, we look at how a generation raised on the internet is helping redefine what war sounds like, looks like, and who gets to shape it.

019: What War Sounds Like Now

The internet was supposed to erase borders. Instead, it's becoming a place where governments redraw them. Around the world, leaders are deciding what people can see, what they can say, and even which version of reality they're allowed to inhabit. The technology that promised to connect us may be pulling us further apart.

The internet is very good at making one thing look like another. A job offer that sends someone to war. A marketplace run by police. A romance launched by a scammer. This hour: three stories about the moment trust gets engineered, manipulated, and weaponized online.

This week on Click Here: the propaganda you don’t really notice – at least not at first. It doesn’t come in loud or obvious. Instead, it just… blends in. A look at how it works – and how it can start to feel normal before you even realize it’s there.

Ownership used to feel simple: you buy it, it’s yours. Not anymore. In the digital age, companies can lock down what we own, change it after purchase, and even train AI on our work without asking. So what does ownership mean if we don’t control it?

We still talk about space as if it’s silent. Empty. But it isn’t anymore. It’s starting to feel a lot like Earth — crowded, competitive… a little chaotic. This week, we follow a fragile lunar lander that paved the way for the Artemis II mission, trace the growing cloud of debris circling above us… and ask what happens when the systems we depend on — GPS, communications, the invisible infrastructure of daily life — have to survive in that kind of congestion.

In much of America, being offline means being left out. Yet millions still live in places where reliable internet never arrived. This hour, we explore why the digital divide persists—and what it will take to finally close it.

Judgment, empathy, faith — once the essence of being human — are increasingly becoming problems for software to solve. This week, we examine what happens when technology takes on our most moral work: preaching with compassion, guiding conscience, and even helping decide who lives and who dies.

Ransomware once felt random. Now it feels organized. This week on Click Here, we trace how cybercrime turned corporate — from a Texas attack that rippled outward, to the private chats of a top ransomware gang, to a hacker on the FBI’s radar.

We were promised a hands-free future — cars that drive themselves, think for us, and even fix their own mistakes. But when software is behind the wheel, responsibility gets harder to pin down. This week, Volvo’s near-miss, a car hacker’s warning, and a philosopher’s take on blame in the age of automation.

Behind the headlines about ICE raids is a largely unseen technological system—one that shapes who gets found, followed, and detained. This hour, we look at the tools ICE relies on to track immigrants, and the unexpected ways advocates and volunteers are turning technology back on the agency itself. From ankle monitors to crowdsourced alerts, it’s a story about code, surveillance, and the quiet power of watching the watchers.
