A Sputnik Intelligence collection: the newsletters and podcasts covering one market, picked by hand. Everything below — who publishes here, what they talk about, who advertises — is a live query against our corpus, refreshed hourly.
Tech Criticism & Accountability
Writers and shows that push back on how technology is being built and deployed: AI ethics, platform accountability, responsible-tech advocacy, and reporting on the harms and court fights around big tech.
We index newsletters and podcasts — where named humans still talk to real audiences, and the one part of the media your monitoring tool can't see — and make them searchable by your AI agent. This page is one market's worth of that corpus.

Where these numbers come from
- Sources are hand-picked by us for this market. Post and episode counts are everything we have indexed for them, back to whatever archive the source publishes.
- People and advertisers are everyone credited or heard on these sources in the last 90 days, ranked by every post they have appeared on here. Topics are counted over the last 90 days only.
- A person is counted once per post, whether they wrote it, hosted it, or appeared on it as a guest. Podcast credits come from the transcript.
- Everything on this page is a live query against the corpus.
