Ayman al-Zawahiri’s safe house in Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, was targeted by a drone strike Saturday after months of planning, officials said Monday. And Zawahiri had been a U.S. target for more than two decades: He oversaw the 9/11 attacks alongside al-Qaeda’s founder, Osama bin Laden.

On Monday, President Biden announced that the United States had killed Ayman al-Zawahri in a drone strike in Afghanistan.  Al-Zawahri was the leader of Al Qaeda. A long time number two to Osama bin Laden and the intellectual spine of the terrorist group, he assumed powe...

Geoff has been looking at tech from a consumer perspective in his series We the Users, and he says apps are spying on our kids at a scale that should shock you.

On Android, 79 percent of popular kids apps do the same. 

On today’s show, Geoff tells us who the biggest offenders are, and what parents can do to protect their kids’ privacy online.
