Episode Description

For the 100th episode of Posting Through It , Jared and Mike welcome back NYC correspondent Bobby Silverman to discuss a major investigation he co-bylined at WIRED magazine looking at how powerful individuals and companies are building their own surveillance networks — effectively creating their own private “deep states.”

Bobby's story zeroes in on one such "panopticon," built around businesses tied to James Dolan, including Madison Square Garden. In one telling example, MSG allegedly tracked the movements of a trans woman whose presence they flagged as a concern. After that, the guys look at what might be next for a handful of prominent MAGA Internet personalities: Clavicular, Tim Pool, Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, and Dave Portnoy.
