This is why we created ProtonMail, an easy to use secure email service with built-in end-to-end encryption and state of the art security features. Our goal is to build an internet that respects privacy and is secure against cyberattacks.

    We are committed to developing and widely distributing the tools necessary to protect your data online. Our team combines deep mathematical and technical knowledge from the world's top research institutions with expertise in building easy to use user interfaces. Together, we are building the encrypted communication technologies of the future.

    05 - Mobile Device Privacy with Purism's Todd Weaver Mar 16, 2020
    Show notes

    This week, I am joined by a special guest, Todd Weaver who because of his dedication to privacy, started a company called Purism making computers and now a phone that respect and protect your privacy. We discuss mobile privacy, how to protect it, and more.

    I’ve been following Purism for years now, watching the company grow and keep promises of creating top-of-the-line devices that protect privacy. As an active advocate — and practical practitioner — of privacy, I have had to hack the heck out of my devices to make them privacy-friendly. Purism’s goal is to make privacy convenient. And they are doing it. If you are considering a new phone or laptop, be sure to put them on the list of companies you check out.

    FULL DISCLOSURE: I HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP AT ALL WITH PURISM. I WAS NOT COMPENSATED IN ANY WAY FOR RECOMMENDING THEM. I BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND RECOMMEND THEM BASED ON THAT. PRIVACY MATTERS AND PURISM KEEPS IT FRONT AND CENTER OF ALL THEY DO.

    03 - Browsing the Web Securely and Privately Mar 01, 2020
    Show notes

    This week, I discuss how to browse the Web securely and privately, as well as which browsers and extensions I recommend and those I recommend you avoid like the plague.

    Windows 10— including IE/Edge — is spyware designed to harvest your data.

    So now are Windows 7 and 8.

    Apple Keeps Deleted Safari History — even in "Private Browsing" mode.

    I recommend the Brave Browser. Here is the story behind it.

    In this week's episode, I made a reference to The Cathedral and the Bazaar.

    Browser add-ons / plug-ins / extensions I recommend:

    HTTPS Everywhere

    Privacy Badger

    NoScript

    For even more private browsing:

    Tor Browser

    The best private operating system (used by Ed Snowden to communicate with journalists)

    Tails

    01 - Why Surveillance Matters Even If You Have Nothing To Hide Feb 07, 2020
    Show notes

    In this episode, I deal with the question you’ve all heard and some of you may have even asked: “Why should I care about mass digital surveillance, if I have nothing to hide?”

    The answer is simple — the question is wrong. The right question is: “What do you have that is worth protecting?”

    The episode covers data-mining and data analysis and how the aggregation of data can be used to create a startlingly accurate profile of you that knows you better than you may know yourself and can even be used to predict your future actions and choices.

    Sound clip one is from Ed Snowden’s 2014 interview with "NBC Nightly News" anchor and managing editor Brian Williams.

    Sound clip two is from Kansas City’s 41 Action News’ report, “Smartphone pictures pose privacy risks.”

    Enemy of the [Surveillance] State is written, produced, and narrated by C. Mitchell Shaw.

    Theme song was created by Michael Leavitt.
