https://youtu.be/sb6u-TpV-JAhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/BRENDAN-EICH:9As we rushed into the Web 2 era, privacy was left behind. There was a naive view that users could consent to something that was impossible to understand. The result was tracking and monitoring of every activity.I chatted to Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript, Co-Founder of Brave, and the Co-founder of Mozilla. We talk about how the privacy landscape evolved on the internet, and the future of our technology-driven world.00:00 The Serfs Have to Band Together!00:51 Why Privacy Matters04:30 Privacy Nihilism06:29 The Rise of Extensions11:48 Brave and Ads15:06 Privacy is Now Marketable16:31 Bridging the Divide Between Users19:58 They Are Profiling You21:50 Incentive for Government Control23:30 Tech Optimism24:48 Users Matter Most28:57 Companies Can Make a Big Difference31:47 UBlock Origin and Google33:23 There is No End to Security36:14 Braves Large Movement of Users37:37 Decentralization Pays Off38:00 Users Can Tilt Markets38:55 Wh

Instead of suppressing ideas, we can actually call out bad ideas for what they are and we can provide counterpoints. The best way to conquer bad ideas is with better ideas, not by suppressing ideas.Link to full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa1c16uTJVQBrought to you by NBTV team members: Lee Rennie, Will Sandoval and Naomi BrockwellTo support NBTV, visit:https://www.nbtv.m

One of the deadliest tools used against them is Pegasus—a powerful cyber-surveillance weapon that puts lives at risk.In this interview, I sit down with Laurent Richard, founder of Forbidden Stories and co-author of Pegasus. His team broke the story on Pegasus spyware and built a global network to safeguard journalists working on dangerous stories. Learn how Pegasus operates, the fight to protect freedom of the press, and how we can combat digital surveillance before it’s too late.00:00 CyberSurveillance is a Military Weapon01:19 Forbidden Stories04:28 Global Spyware Threat05:17 How Forbidden Stories Broke The Pegasus Story15:40 The Danger of Intelligence Spyware22:59 Privacy is Essential for Democracy26:09 How to Begin Change29:55 CyberSurveillance Needs Regulation32:39 This is Where We Are34:47

It's intentionally difficult for the public to understand the vast and intricate network of companies, subsidiaries,partnerships, affiliations, and even the financial backers of data brokers and surveillance-as-a-service companies. I chat with the creator of Surveillance Watch, an activist from Bahrain whose website is a mammoth effort to lift the veil on this industry, revealing the names and connections of clandestine entities, how they are funded, and which countries are using their services.00:00 Data is Being Weaponized Against Absolutely Everyone02:46 Why Surveillance Watch was Created03:58 The Shroud of Secrecy09:26  Overview of the Surveillance Capitalism Industry14:31  Why People Should be Concerned21:06 Long Term Considerations23:03 Testimonial24:09 It Is Not Too Late to Change Online Habits27:24 A Society of Orwellian Double-Speak29:35

https://youtu.be/NciVkd6ddPohttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Zimmermann:fIn the early 90s, Phil Zimmermann, the godfather of privacy, released a groundbreaking encryption program called Pretty Good Privacy, or PGP. This software allowed people to protect their email communications with robust encryption. The government then investigated Phil for 3 years, claiming that by spreading PGP around the world as free encryption software, he was engaging in munitions trafficking and jeopardizing U.S. national security.The battle goes down in history as the first Crypto Wars, against encryption, and it was waged by people all over the world who believed that privacy was a fundamental right.PGP became the most widely used email encryption software in the world. And thanks to his effort to make sure encryption tools remain available to the public, we now have the ability to protect our privacy.But once again we find ourselves in another crypto war, with governments around the globe once again trying to undermine priv

Imagine waking up to find that a hacker had posted every conversation you’ve ever had online. We don't need to keep a permanent trail of all of our digital conversations, that could be hacked at any time, and there are deep psychological effects when we do so.

But what if I told you that HIPAA doesn’t protect your privacy at all?This is our first video in a series about medical privacy, specifically looking at legislation that stripped individuals of the right to consent to medical data sharing. We focus on what HIPAA actually is, how it came to allow our data to be shared without us even knowing, how we’ve been tricked into thinking we have privacy, and steps we can take to reclaim control of our medical data.00:00 The State of Medical Privacy is a Mess02:29 What is HIPAA07:39 How Your Data is Shared12:10 The Illusion of Privacy14:48 What Can We Do22:16 We Deserve Medical PrivacyWe deserve privacy in our medical system.

https://youtu.be/aXhXkXcMXyMhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Fish:e28What do Fish and Privacy have in common? This video will explain. Our expectations of privacy have shifted dramatically in the past few decades. What was once considered outrageous overreach has become normal, and we've lost sight of what a healthy amount of privacy even looks like. It's called shifting-baseline syndrome, first coined in relation to fish populations. This video is based on a fantastic essay by Bruce Schneier and Barath Raghavan: We take stock of how privacy expectations have changed, and think about whether this is really the future we want to be moving towards.00:00 Privacy is Like Fish - Huh?00:38 Our Perception of Privacy04:35 Fish???05:55 Shifting Baselines08:37 Is This the Future We Want?10:43 Privacy is Like My PlantA huge thank you to Bruce Schneier and Barath Raghavan for letting us reproduce their ideas in video form.

In this video, I look at the benefits and tradeoffs of using fingerprint readers, and try to compare the security of fingerprint unlock vs a pin or password. A major factor to consider is actually what kind of device you have. 00:00 You Asked, I Delivered!00:56 What is Fingerprint Unlock02:13 Should You Use Fingerprint Unlock03:15 Convenience Consideration04:18 Shoulder Surfing Protections04:49 Biometrics are Forever06:30 Brute Forcing12:07 Coercion14:40 SummaryFingerprints are more like usernames than passwords. They’re unique, static and identifiable as belonging to you. But Fingerprint security is also very convenient, and for many people shouldn’t be ruled out as an option. We are constantly unlocking our phones all through the day. So choose something that will be sustainable for you and is justified by your threat mode

https://youtu.be/FloGxOlMSyIhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Phone-Contacts:9The humble Contact List in our phone is a goldmine of data. Each contact is filled with the personal information like names, numbers, email addresses, home addresses, birthdays, work details and social media information. It’s the kind of information that data brokers salivate over because it allows unprecedented insight into consumer behavior, political leanings, and even potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The worst thing is, it's not even your information that's being taken -- When we don't protect our contacts list, it's the information that OTHERS have entrusted to us that we're sharing. In this video I talk about Contact Lists, why you might not want to store them in your phone or share them with other apps on your device, and finally I’ll talk about more private ways to store them.00:00 Your Phone Compromises Your Contacts00:28 Overview00:39 Why Contacts Lists Are Important01:51 Who S

And what, if anything, can you do to stop it?That's what we cover in this video, Part 3 of our car privacy series: SIM cards, WiFi, and OBD ports. We also talk about how companies trick us into handing over our data, things that we can do to push back against this insane overreach that we’ve somehow normalized, and the giant legal loophole for cars that makes it super easy for law enforcement to collect your data without a warrant. 00:00 Your Car Saw What You Did in the Backseat!02:57 Don't plug in ANYTHING04:41 Satellite and Bluetooth05:47 WiFi06:29 SIM Cards08:22 Find out what's going on!11:10 Shady Tactics14:38 Challenging Data Overreach16:35 Car Warrant Loophole18:00 There is HopeThere currently are no easy fixes to the problem of car surveillance.

https://youtu.be/-1khYr697jMhttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Adv-Data-Protection:eThanks to powerful marketing, privacy is something we’ve come to immediately associate with Apple. But your iCloud is probably NOT as private as you think. Last year, Apple added E2EE for iCloud backups, with a tool called "Advanced Data Protection”. This setting means that your documents, photos, and other personal information in iCloud are kept private and out of the reach of even Apple itself. BUT, this setting is NOT turned on by default. Unless you have specifically turned on the setting, and set backup users or codes, everything in your iCloud can be read by Apple. And regardless of whether Advanced Data Protection is enabled, some things in the Apple ecosystem are never E2EE, and it's important to know what they are.In this video we explain exactly what is being protected with Advanced Data Protection, how to turn it on, its limitations, and other options that you might use for your backups instead.00:00

The process of connecting all these dots of our online activities is a practice known as Open Source Intelligence, or OSINT. It's the practice of using all the information available online such as public records, reviews we write, email addresses, usernames, location check ins, and social media, to link together the breadcrumbs of someone's digital life. Jose Monkey has 1.7 million TikTok followers, and shows us how he finds people's exact location just by using OSINT on their videos.
