That free mobile game might be costing more than you think. Shane Hewitt and Dr. Lee Kuhnle reveal how intelligence agencies and tech companies use games like Angry Birds and other apps to collect personal data — not just from players, but from their networks and devices.

They discuss how surveillance, social media, and entertainment have quietly merged, creating a system where privacy is traded for convenience. The episode pulls back the curtain on how data harvesting really works and why understanding what’s collected — and by whom — matters more than ever.
