How To Host AI Locally Nov 01, 2024

https://youtu.be/CVeZfM0pVyU
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Local-LLM:d
AI chatbots are taking over the world. But if you want to guarantee your privacy when using them, running an LLM locally is going to be your best bet. In this video I collaborate with The Hated One to show you how, and to explain some AI terminology so that you understand what's going on.

The biggest advantage of open source models is that you can fine tune them using your own instructions while keeping all data private and confidential. Why trust your data to someone else when you don’t have to?
A huge thank you to The Hated One for his tutorial.

The Internet Has Changed. Privacy Was Left Behind. Oct 25, 2024

https://youtu.be/sb6u-TpV-JA
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/BRENDAN-EICH:9
As 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.

36:14 Braves Large Movement of Users
37:37 Decentralization Pays Off
38:00 Users Can Tilt Markets
38:55 What the Future Holds
39:39 Privacy Acceleration
We need more tools that make it possible to not only maintain privacy, but to still have a user-friendly experience at the same time. We, as users, need to fight back and demand it.

Criminalizing Privacy (Al Jazeera Interview) Oct 24, 2024

https://youtu.be/wcKtnnzsQGk
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/content-moderation:9
In this interview from Al Jazeera on October 16th, 2024; I discuss the current state of global privacy legislation, ways that we can encourage free speech without censorship, and strategies for the future of privacy around the world.
00:00 We Are Getting to a Real Scary Place
00:30 Setting Scary Precedents Against Privacy
03:17 Striking a Balance
05:54 The Future of Privacy is Up the Users
In an era where the web has converged on just a handful major companies that wield immense control over speech, we are seeing many independent voices drowned out. 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.

The Spyware Governments Use to Silence Dissent Oct 23, 2024

https://youtu.be/07-IsfTMujo
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Pegasus:d7
Journalists, activists, and human rights defenders are being targeted and silenced daily by authoritarian governments that fear losing power. 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 Weapon
01:19 Forbidden Stories
04:28 Global Spyware Threat
05:17 How Forbidden Stories Broke The Pegasus Story
15:40 The Danger of Intelligence Spyware
22:59 Privacy is Essential for Democracy
26:09 How to Begin Change
29:55 CyberSurveillance Needs Regulation
32:39 This is Where We Are
34:47 Governments Have a Vested Interest in Spyware
39:44 Hope Remains
43:04 There is a Lot to Do
47:37 The Safe Box Network
52:20 Conclusion
Cyber surveillance is a military weapon wielded against civilians, actually putting human lives in danger. We must protect journalists, activists, dissidents, and all vulnerable individuals from powerful, corrupt organizations as they risk everything to expose the truth. Together, we must signal to the world that we demand a future where technology serves us—free from the fear of surveillance.
Special Thanks to Laurent Richard

It's Time To Uncover Who They Are Oct 22, 2024

https://youtu.be/0PbL1GeClQI
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Surveillance-watch:2
The surveillance industry operates by design in a shrouded, opaque manner. 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 Everyone

46:08 It Is Naive to Dismiss Privacy
47:38 Your Data WILL Fall Into The Wrong Hands
50:46 Explore the Surveillance Watch Website
51:53 Submit to Surveillance Watch
The Public is only just starting to understand how deep all of this goes, which is why sites like Surveillance Watch are so vital. It’s an incredibly important tool to help people map out the surveillance apparatus in a way that they can really understand.

Can Democracy Survive Without Privacy? Oct 21, 2024

https://youtu.be/NciVkd6ddPo
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Zimmermann:f
In 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 privacy.
I chat with Phil about why he created PGP, the current state of global surveillance, and why we must fight for the future of privacy.
00:00 Governments Live in a Golden Age of Surveillance
00:58 Phil Zimmerman Introduction
02:34 Phil’s Motivation for Creating PGP
05:19 What’s at Stake if Government Abolishes Privacy
10:50 The Risk of Not Standing Our Ground
14:04 Surviving in a World Where Government Policy is Anti-Privacy
15:15 How to Create a Groundswell Movement
16:14 Highlighting Shifting Baselines
18:40 We Need to Obtain and Use Privacy Tools NOW
19:43 Governments are Pressuring Companies
20:18 Phil’s Parting Words of Advice
22:08 Policy vs Action
Everything that we do is surveilled and it’s not clear that democracy can survive governments having this level of omniscience. However, hope is not lost. By obtaining and using privacy tools now, we can preserve our right to privacy, and make a stand before it’s too late.
Special thanks to Phil Zimmerman, a true hero of the privacy space!

How To Use AI PRIVATELY Oct 18, 2024

https://youtu.be/rriStH1eTH0
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Private-AI:f
AI is already deeply integrated into our daily digital activities, whether we realize it or not, but it's a double-edged sword: On the one hand it can skyrocket our productivity and skillset. On the other, there are often serious privacy concerns to using it.
Do you want to be able to use AI tools, without worrying that companies are collecting everything you're doing? In this video, I talk to two experts working on the privacy side of AI. We discuss the privacy risks of using AI, and how to protect ourselves -- exploring some of the most private platforms and looking at best practices.

22:10 Are you a priv/acc?
Especially in an age of AI, we need to be more mindful than ever of the consequences of leaking all of our data in online interactions. Luckily there are plenty of ways we can better protect our privacy. Including by making privacy-conscious choices when we use AI tools themselves. Caring about privacy doesn’t mean we have to give up modern technology. Even privacy-conscious people can enjoy AI tools in their lives!

In today’s digital world, nothing is truly secure. 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.
In this video, I make a case for using disappearing messages.
00:00 Imagine THIS Nightmare
01:48 Your Messages Are At Risk

Whether we’re safeguarding sensitive information, limiting our exposure, or simply reducing the clutter of our digital lives, turning on disappearing messages is a small change with significant impact. Disappearing messages are a great tool in your privacy toolbox for this increasingly permanent digital age.

You Have No Medical Privacy Sep 20, 2024

https://youtu.be/4sfIBRTcRpU
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/HIPAA:7
Most people think that HIPAA means that their medical records are kept private. 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 Mess
02:29 What is HIPAA
07:39 How Your Data is Shared
12:10 The Illusion of Privacy
14:48 What Can We Do
22:16 We Deserve Medical Privacy
We deserve privacy in our medical system. Our health information is sensitive, and we should be allowed to protect it. Even while we fight for better medical privacy, please always prioritize your health.
Special Thanks to: Twila Brase, Rob Frommer, and Keith Smith for chatting to us!

Surveillance: The New Normal Sep 06, 2024

https://youtu.be/aXhXkXcMXyM
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Fish:e28
What 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 Privacy
04:35 Fish???
05:55 Shifting Baselines
08:37 Is This the Future We Want?
10:43 Privacy is Like My Plant
A huge thank you to Bruce Schneier and Barath Raghavan for letting us reproduce their ideas in video form. Original essay: https://spectrum.ieee.org/online-privacy

https://youtu.be/s9Ux8DFgMSM
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/ditch-sms:1
Most of our conversations are digital, and our privacy hinges on our ability to convince others to use a private messaging platform. Getting friends and family to switch isn't easy though!
Here are some strategies you can try, ranging from educational methods, to downright sneakiness!
00:00 We have all decided to never answer our phone again
02:12 Its Easy
02:47 Privacy Leaks
04:29 Response Delay
05:45 Missed Connection
06:37 Daily Reward
08:35 App-Switching Fatigue
09:10 It’s Worth the Effort
Convincing people to switch to a more private messaging app can be tough, but it’s definitely not something you should give up on. Persistence and patience are key. By encouraging better habits you really are making a more private world, starting in your own backyard.
We got all our suggestions from Michael Bazzell's book, "Extreme Privacy":

Should You Use Fingerprint Unlock? Aug 09, 2024

https://youtu.be/c0ZAPaRddfo
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Fingerprint-unlock:e
Should you use fingerprint unlock on your device? The answer is not going to be the same for everyone. 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 Unlock
02:13 Should You Use Fingerprint Unlock
03:15 Convenience Consideration
04:18 Shoulder Surfing Protections
04:49 Biometrics are Forever
06:30 Brute Forcing
12:07 Coercion
14:40 Summary
Fingerprints 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 model, otherwise you might drive yourself insane. There is no perfect answer when it comes to phone security, so make a decision based on your unique context.

Your Phone Contacts AREN'T Private Jul 14, 2024

https://youtu.be/FloGxOlMSyI
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Phone-Contacts:9
The 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 Contacts
00:28 Overview
00:39 Why Contacts Lists Are Important
01:51 Who Sees Our Contact List
05:37 Private Ways To Store Contacts
06:23 Reviewing App Permissions
06:57 Third Party Contact Apps
07:53 Encrypted Contact Storage
08:43 Graphene: The Ultimate Solution
09:57 It’s Time to Take Back Control!
By disabling automatic cloud syncing, regularly reviewing and managing our apps’ contact permissions, and using privacy-focused apps and services, we can reduce the indiscriminate harvesting of our social graph. Our contacts deserve to be treated with the utmost care and respect.

They lied to you about car surveillance Jun 28, 2024

https://youtu.be/pA0zYTmi5ck
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/car-privacy-part-3:1
We now know that the data collection in modern cars is out of control -- The question is, how does that data even leave your car? 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!

16:35 Car Warrant Loophole
18:00 There is Hope
There currently are no easy fixes to the problem of car surveillance. Car manufacturers currently only see the opportunities that come from selling your data. Let’s make sure they also see the opportunity of offering privacy as a feature, by making our voice heard!

Stop Your Apps Secretly Talking To Each Other! Jun 01, 2024

Did you know that apps on your phone can see which other apps you have installed? And that apps can talk to each other and share information, without you realizing?
In this video we show you how to stop apps communicating with each other, and look at the scoped storage and sandboxing of apps in GrapheneOS, and what it does and doesn't protect against.

Do THIS Before Selling Your Car! May 17, 2024

https://youtu.be/Ff9pmaSdZV8
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/selling-your-car:6
Cars are no longer dumb machines -- They're smart devices with hundreds of computers bolted on top that collect information about our activities. Some car companies have even explicitly said in their privacy policies that they collect information about your sexual activity!
Given that so much information is stored in our car, what happens when we sell it? Do we just hand this sensitive information off to the next owner? And given the remote capabilities of modern cars, how do we make sure the previous owner can't still access our data when we buy a used car?
Here are steps you MUST take when you buy or sell a used car.
00:00 Cars Collect Info on Your Sex Life!
02:25 Selling Your Car
05:18 Renting a Car
07:32 Deleting Data from the Head Unit
09:11 Buying a Used Car
11:59 Asserting Data Rights
12:39 Recap
13:51 Conclusion
Now that we’re starting to get a glimpse of what’s going on under the hood of car data collection, we can start pushing back against it.
Special Thanks to Andrea, Woody, and Sam for lending their expertise!

Turn THIS on if you use iCloud! May 04, 2024

https://youtu.be/-1khYr697jM
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Adv-Data-Protection:e
Thanks 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 Your iCloud is NOT as Private as you Think
01:49 Advanced Data Protection Explained
02:37 Set Up
04:34 Limitations
05:48 Alternative Backup Options
06:52 Summary
Don’t presume that your iPhone is more private than it actually is. If you use Apple's iCloud, absolutely make sure that you have Advanced Data Protection turned on.

What Your Photos Reveal! Apr 19, 2024

https://youtu.be/VaUsJvUMUgE
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/OSINT-photos:8
Every picture and video you post spills secrets about you, maybe even revealing where you live. 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. We teach you best practices for posting photos and videos online, and how to make sure that you're not giving away more information than you intend.

The practice of using OSINT to piece together our online trail is incredibly powerful, and can lead curious minds right to our digital doorsteps.

The TRUTH about Bank Privacy Apr 05, 2024

https://youtu.be/C0CyuDEuLsE
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Financial-surveillance:e
Financial privacy has practically vanished over the last 50 years. Most people are in denial about it, and still believe that their relationship with their bank or their credit union is confidential -- the reality couldn’t be further from that.
In this video we walk you through the history of how financial privacy slowly disappeared, and how we built a gargantuan financial surveillance system that no one really understands the extent of.
00:00 Financial Privacy is an Illusion
02:14 Pre-1970
03:23 Bank Secrecy Act
08:02 Annunzio-Wylie AML Act
10:38 Patriot Act
12:51 $600 Rule
16:17 The Future Ahead
18:24 Is This the World We Want?
We have slowly built a gargantuan system of unchecked financial surveillance, and it’s time to question whether this is the world we want to live in. The first step is just making people aware of how far financial surveillance norms have shifted in just a few decades.

A World Without Privacy Mar 24, 2024

https://youtu.be/0RhCrb8OCjw
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Impact-of-surveillance:b
The current state of privacy is bad. Surveillance today is pervasive, and the effects of this surveillance on the fabric of society is profound. We need to make sure we’re fully aware of the consequences of creating a world without privacy.
If we want to reclaim privacy in the digital age, the answer is not to throw out our devices, it’s to truly embrace technology, and leverage all the new, cutting edge privacy and encryption technologies being developed every day.
We are empowered human beings. And many of us aren't just passive enjoyers of technology -- we have a say in the direction that this technology will take, and are helping write its future. It's in our power to make sure that the future we create is the best possible timeline, not the worst.
So let’s be intentional about the kind of future we want.

Stop Your Programs Reporting Your Activity with Little Snitch Mar 08, 2024

https://youtu.be/_0EiqiPuR4Q
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Little-Snitch:7
Our computers constantly talk to servers across the internet without us realizing, sharing information about our activities. Most of us don't even realize how many programs are silently connecting to the internet and sharing data. It usually happens without our explicit consent.
But we can block these connections. On Mac, you can use a program called Little Snitch.
In this video we look at the data is silently transmitted from our computer through things like telemetry, and show you how to use Little Snitch to regain control over the data leaving your computer.
00:00 Your Computer’s SECRET WHISPERS
01:39 Data Leaving Your Computer
04:02 Little Snitch Walkthrough
10:13 Bazzell’s Settings
10:35 A Note About Alerts and Rules
11:48 Conclusion
Using a reverse firewall like Little Snitch can be very revealing about how much data is silently being transmitted from our computer. Simply becoming aware of this can help us make better decisions with the tech we use.
Our suggestions come from privacy expert Michael Bazzell, and we highly recommend you check out his site: https://inteltechniques.com/blog/2021/08/18/macos-telemetry-update
Little Snitch can be found here: obdev.at
There is a similar product that apparently doesn't have the same granular functionality but is free called Lulu. I haven't tested it though, so you're on your own there!

https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Back-up-Photos-privately:7
Photos these days usually stay in digital form. Sometimes we back them up to the cloud for safekeeping: but who is getting access to your sensitive images when you do so?
In this video we look at the built-in photo backup options on iPhone and Android, and how private they really are. We also explore more private backup solutions, and how to set them up to happen automatically so that you never have to worry about losing your precious memories ever again.
There are some really simple solutions that don’t require any technical skill.

Decentralized Storage Feb 09, 2024

https://youtu.be/rOtMGJVp2MU
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/decentralized-storage:6
We put a lot of trust in cloud storage providers, presuming that they’ll keep our data safe. But what if they're hacked? Or their servers go down? Or what if they decide to just kick us out of our accounts, and we lose all our emails, files, contacts, photos...
There's another big problem with centralizing all our storage on a single platform: it turns out the whole world is doing it. Most of the world's data is stored by just 3 companies: Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.
In this video we’re going to talk about how a handful of companies came to control most of the world’s data, how this could put our data in danger and make censorship easier, and we’ll explore the new world of decentralized storage, allowing control of the internet to be distributed back to individuals.
00:00 The BIG problem with Cloud Storage
02:11 The Move Towards Centralized Storage
04:13 Risks of Data Centralization
07:40 Decentralized Storage Options
10:27 The DJ and the War Crimes
11:44 Conclusion
13:19 WTF
We need to make sure that we are protecting our from loss and censorship. Decentralized storage allows us to return to the ideals of the early internet, that promised a connected world where information flows freely.

THIS is why privacy is CRUCIAL Jan 13, 2024

https://youtu.be/eR7D6Fx0fTQ
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Privacy-in-the-Digital-Age:1
Many of us don't fully grasp the importance of privacy for a free society.
We allow total invasion of our privacy, making a bet that we and those in power will stay on good terms, so this data will never be used against us.
But as Snowden said, regimes come and go, social norms change, but that data is forever.
Privacy is not a tool for criminals, as many would have you believe. It's essential for regular people, to allow them to dissent, have independent thoughts, hold people accountable without fearing retribution.
In this video, we explore the crucial link between privacy and a free society, and why we must immediately fight to reclaim the narrative around privacy and surveillance.
00:00 Intro
00:33 Historical Losses of Privacy
01:40 Privacy Loss Happening Right Now
03:11 Why Protecting Privacy NOW is Essential
05:46 People Become Targets Everyday
06:51 Nefarious Truth About Data Collection
08:40 The Current False Narrative on Privacy
09:33 What’s at Stake?
10:12 What You Can Do Right Now
10:41 Conclusion
The erosion of privacy is not inevitable. But we must start to care, and stop normalizing surveillance.

03:30 Who Can Use X’s Encrypted Messages?
03:57 Should You Use X’s Encrypted Messaging?
06:13 Deep Dive: How They've Implemented It
09:54 Problems
12:34 Conclusion
X’s introduction of encrypted messaging is long overdue, and a very welcome feature: It not only brings privacy to a lot more people, but it's also a signal to the entire tech industry that privacy is important. Just be careful not to place too much trust in their encrypted messenger: For anything sensitive, we recommend using a platform with more robust privacy features.

Fitness Apps Are A Privacy Nightmare Nov 04, 2023

https://youtu.be/V2WrDZnk33g
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Strava-v6-LBRY:b
Fitness apps help us keep track of our health, but they're also a privacy nightmare. If you're not careful with how you use it, it can even put you in danger.
In this video we explore how they leak all kinds of information about us, how malicious actors scrape data from these apps to target people’s locations, and we look at their hidden settings that you might not realize are turned on.
00:00 Intro
01:05 Overview
01:34 Strava
3:03 Jack Rhysider's home address EXPOSED
5:03 DANGERS of STALKERS
05:41 Military Bases EXPOSED
07:35 Honey Pots for Scraping User Data
08:51 CREEPIEST feature of all!
10:34 Current State of Fitness Trackers
13:03 What Can We Do
16:19 Conclusion
We can still have cool things, without normalizing data collection. If companies are going to collect all of our data, it’s time we start holding them accountable when they don’t protect that data or are reckless with how they use it. We need to start telling companies that privacy is important, and maybe they’ll start to listen.

Keyboard Apps are a privacy NIGHTMARE! Oct 25, 2023

https://youtu.be/y4brX6x3mrM
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Keyboard-privacy:1
How private is your phone keyboard?
Smartphones allow us to intimately communicate, do sensitive work, and access the world around us by tapping on a screen: The gateway to this world is the keyboard. It’s where we type our searches, our credit card details, our passwords. You'd better hope the keyboard you're using is private, and not sending off your keystrokes somewhere else.
In this video we dive into keyboard privacy, and dive into some of the most private and least private keyboard options.
00:00 Intro
01:10 Virtual Keyboards Explained
02:21 Third-Party Keyboards
03:05 How to Tell if a Keyboard App is Safe
06:26 These Keyboards Leak Your Data!
08:12 Apple’s iOS Keyboard
11:04 Google’s GBoard
12:51 MORE PRIVATE OPTIONS
13:02 Graphene OS
14:22 AnySoftKeyboard
14:50 OpenBoard
15:18 FlorisBoard
15:30 SimpleKeyboard
16:00 Fleksy
16:42 Stay Vigilant
18:00 YES IT'S OK THAT I PRONOUNCE DATA THIS WAY
A third-party keyboard app isn’t just something you should add to your phone because it offers some cool features. It’s a critical decision that can undermine the privacy of your entire device. Choose wisely.

Modern cars are a privacy nightmare Oct 15, 2023

https://youtu.be/eIryvRwxp9A
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Car-Tracking:7
It's worse than you realize. In this video we dive into all the types of data your car is collecting about you: from video footage, microphone recordings, location data, biometrics, all the way to files/contacts/photos ingested from your phone!
00:00 Cars are NO place for a private conversation!
02:11 What data is our car collecting?
05:41 Video footage
06:16 Microphones
08:09 Location
08:40 There's a SIM card in your phone, sending off all your data!
10:01 Telematics
10:56 Sensors: Capturing weight, emotions, etc
11:10 DON'T CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO YOUR CAR!
13:00 Who is getting access to our data?
14:06 This is a huge problem
This is the first video in a series we're doing on car privacy. Later in the series we examine:
- how easy it is to hack modern cars
- trackers in cars that you had no idea existed
- the perverse incentives that drive companies to collect as much data about us as possible
- the history of when this all started
- dangers of used cars: the previous owner of your car might still have access to all your car’s remote features, tracking tools, and cameras!
- how to wipe your own information and location history from your car before you sell it
- how to opt out of this collection and better protect yourself
We really need to get a conversation going around car privacy, and increase awareness. It’s so important we push back against the normalization of these practices, starting now.

Can We Build a Better Internet? Oct 05, 2023

https://youtu.be/HYAQYbE63wo
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Creating-a-better-internet:9
The internet has fundamentally transformed the way we communicate and access information. But while it lifts us up, it has also become the most potent enabler of totalitarian surveillance that the world has ever seen.
In this talk, I explore the privacy implications of our growing digital world, and the kind of future we are paving the way towards. I also dive into what we can do today to try to ensure a better future.
00:00 The Internet's Double-Edged Sword
03:33 Current State of Privacy
07:46 Effects of Pervasive Surveillance
18:22 The Normalization of Surveillance and its Psychological Effects
25:00 Recap So Far
25:34 What Can We Do TODAY for a Better Tomorrow
33:54 Conclusion
As we celebrate the marvel that is the modern digital world, it’s vital we recognize the internet’s dual nature: it’s as much a beacon of enlightenment as it is a potential tool for surveillance. History is riddled with instances where powerful entities have misused it to target the vulnerable and the voiceless.
As we craft the web’s future, let’s not just innovate; let’s protect.
Every line of code, every infrastructure choice, every innovation can not only push the boundaries of what’s technologically possible, but can also uphold the fundamental right to privacy for billions of people across the globe.
Let's create a better internet!

https://youtu.be/OR8SmnVSLCg
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Youre-a-target:a
"I'm not important, why would anyone target me?"
The internet is a war zone filled with people actively trying to scrape all of your data and attack you with scams.
But you're not being singled out: Scammers target everyone. They're indiscriminate, and you will inevitably fall into their wide net.
In this video I explain how perceiving yourself as a low-value target actually makes you an ideal target for both scams and data collection. I also explain how you can better protect yourself.
00:00 Intro
00:37 Overview
01:02 The Illusion of Digital Insignificance
06:33 You Are Not As Careful As You Should Be
08:34 How to Protect Yourself

When Data Brokers Ruin Lives Sep 15, 2023

https://youtu.be/b0d90ul4ELE
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/data-brokers-ruin-lives:d
Data brokers are like invisible digital packrats, silently harvesting every piece of data about us that they can find. But the information provided by data brokers isn’t always correct. This is a problem because it's often heavily relied on by law enforcement as evidence, without being independently verified.
In this video, hacker and researcher Ghost Exodus explains how his life took a dramatic turn because of inaccurate information provided by data brokers. We also explain steps that you can be can today to minimize your risk.
00:00 What Are Data Brokers
03:28 LexisNexis' Accurint
04:43 Ghost Exodus' Story
07:51 The Dangers of Inaccurate Data Collection
10:08 What Can We Do
11:29 Conclusion
If we enable powerful entities like governments or corporations to see completely into our lives, we shift the balance of power too far away from the individual, and could lead society to a dark place. Thankfully, we are empowered individuals, and can make changes in our own lives to protect our privacy, starting today.

Telegram Isn't As Private As You Think Sep 05, 2023

https://youtu.be/rtRQKQkvUfE
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Telegram:68
Telegram advertises itself as a private messaging app, and has attracted over 800 million users. But Telegram is one of the last apps I'd recommend if you're looking for private communication.
In this video we explain how encryption actually works on Telegram: how it's not possible to end-to-end encrypt group chats, and how direct messages are not private by default. There are also some red flags about their encryption protocol, and how they present their overall privacy to the broader public.
00:00 Intro
00:47 Group Chats
01:38 One to One Messages
04:25 Encryption
05:54 Who Gets Access to Your Data?
08:27 Conclusion
Group chats on Telegram are wildly popular. But just remember that those messages are all able to be read by Telegram, as well as anyone else who is able to get access. I don't want anyone being misled about the privacy on the platform due to impressive marketing campaigns.

They Sell Your Data to EVERYONE Aug 26, 2023

https://youtu.be/GQHutNQVLgw
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Data-Brokers:b
Data brokers know a lot about us. They silently harvest any information they can find, by purchasing information, using trackers, scraping social media, ingesting data breaches.
They compile this information into databases, and sell access so that others can sift through the most private and sensitive areas of our lives.
In this video we pull back the curtain on a largest player in this industry - LexisNexis Risk Solutions, and talk about their giant contracts to sell data to governments.
00:00 Data Brokers
01:53 LexisNexis Risk Solutions
04:17 How Your Data is Collected
07:01 Risk to Civil Liberties
11:16 Let's stop normalizing surveillance!
12:25 Lawsuits and Investigations
12:54 What Can We Do
15:20 Proactive Steps You Can Take TODAY
Data is the new currency. Let’s take back control of our information, and make more conscious choices about the technology we use.
The future has not yet been written -- let's write one where privacy prevails and the balance of power lies with the individual. Let's fight against the creeping normalization of surveillance in our lives.

How To Make Private Transactions, & Why It's Crucial Aug 17, 2023

https://youtu.be/tIr9GfCtd9U
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Private-Transactions:b
Financial privacy is essential for a free society, because it allows us to support causes we believe in without fear of retribution, to flee dangerous situations without being tracked, to live our daily lives without feeling like every choice we make is on display and needs to be self-censored.
How can we have a truly free society if the way we interact with the world around us is constantly monitored and controlled? But that's exactly what's going on right now. In this presentation I explain how surveillance of the traditional financial system works, and what solutions there are for reclaiming your right to financial privacy.
00:00 Financial Privacy Is Crucial for a Free Society
2:22 Traditional Financial System is Controlled, Censored, and Monitored
3:29 Talk Overview
5:38 Everyone Is Selling Your Financial Data
6:42 People Are Persecuted Because Their Payments Are Monitored
8:42 History of Financial Surveillance
13:02 3rd-Party Doctrine
14:07 Cash
17:59 Bitcoin
18:40 Cryptocurrencies are NOT private!
19:53 Tip #1: Use Privacy Coins
26:20 Tip #2: No Pass-Through Privacy
29:11 Tip #3: Break Up Patterns
33:57 Tip #4: Protect Against OSINT Privacy Leaks
39:23 Tip #5: Beware of Active Analysis Tricks
44:55 Alternative Financial Systems ARE The Answer
47:03 Audience Q&A
Traditional privacy tools like cash continue to dwindle in relevance, but cryptocurrencies like privacy coins present themselves as torchbearers of financial privacy in this new digital era.
But the level of privacy you get is contingent upon the choices you make -- it's not enough to use things like privacy coins, you have to know how to use them properly.

Consumer grade routers are like leaky boats. But you can beef up your setup using things like the pfSense open source router and firewall software.
In previous videos we've looks specifically at DNS settings, and programs like "Unbound" within pfSense. While these grant you granular control over your home network, they can also be confusing.
This video dives deeper into "Unbound", the DNS resolver on pfSense, and explains what each of its many settings means so that you can get a better understanding of just what it's capable of.

DNS Blocklists Explained! Stop Internet Snooping! Jul 26, 2023

https://youtu.be/pURzvhYQ2FQ
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/DNS-Blocklists:3
These days, trackers infiltrate nearly every webpage. Advertisements demand your attention and monitor your online movements. Your own devices and software send telemetry back to manufacturers and developers, leaking all kinds of information about your activities.
DNS blocklists can help you regain control over your network traffic. They can stop your devices from ever connecting to certain data tracking sites, malicious content, or servers that collect telemetry.
In this video, we explain exactly how they work, and how to set them up on your home network using the open source router and firewall software, pfSense.
00:00 Intro
00:53 Understanding DNS Blocklists
02:32 Setting Up DNS Blocklists

This will change the fabric of society... Jul 15, 2023

https://youtu.be/MBBOjf7fLrc
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/The-erosion-of-privacy-and-its-consequences:3
Privacy is assaulted in broad daylight and everything we do is recorded with an unforgiving permanence. We trade away our private data for services and conveniences -- not realizing that the government has become party to every agreement we enter into. Due to the 3rd-Party Doctrine, we have no reasonable expectation of privacy in the digital age. The government uses this loophole to purchase data from brokers, completely evading the boundaries established by the 4th amendment.
This invasion into our lives has become completely normalized.
Even if we don't value privacy ourselves, by not standing up for privacy we actually hurt the most vulnerable in society.
In this video I talk about the very real horrors that have occurred throughout history when surveillance becomes a tool for oppression, stripping away the freedoms of the people, and changing the fabric of society. I explain why this is where we are heading. I also explain some simple steps you can take TODAY tell you what steps you can take TODAY to protect yourself.
00:00 Terrifying Poll: Yes, you're complicit too!
04:31 1984 is NOW
07:02 Government Data Collection
16:21 Modern Dystopian Governments
23:26 Historical Losses of Civil Liberties
26:00 Surveillance Today
31:29 Free Speech is in Danger
34:01 What Can We Do?
38:26 Privacy Tools

It’s essential that we start to reclaim the narrative and remind people that privacy is crucial for a free society.

Most PRIVATE Video Watching Apps! Jul 05, 2023

https://youtu.be/NtXRkKs_PA8
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Youtube-alternative-apps:3
When you want to watch videos on your phone, you're probably using an app whose dual role behind the scenes is to gather as much information about you as it can. It observes all of your actions, and adds all this information to a database about you that it shares with thousands of other companies.
Why not use a more private video-streaming app?
In this video we explore alternatives, and explain how each works.
00:00 Intro
01:00 Overview
01:10 Data Collection
04:27 Important Disclaimer!
04:58 NewPipe
09:38 LibreTube
10:36 LBRY/Odysee
13:39 TryLBRY App
13:49 Conclusion
We have the power to choose how much of our digital self we share and who has access to that information. Privacy isn't about hiding — it's about choosing what to share, when, where, and with whom. Choose apps that protect your personal data, and cast a vote for a more privacy-conscious internet.

https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/encrypted-DNS:d
We presume what we search for on the internet stays private. But you might be leaking all of your internet activity through something called a DNS request. It's possible that every site you want to visit is being collected and sold by your ISP, or monitored by countless other entities.

00:00 Intro
00:45 Overview
00:53 What is DNS?
03:48 Protecting Your DNS?
07:31 Setting Up Encrypted DNS

https://youtu.be/FjMyyygVsyM
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Podcast-and-audiobook-app:a
In the digital age we've become used to being able to access music and podcasts wherever we go. But most audio apps collect a LOT of data about you.
In this video we look at podcast players, audio book apps, and music streaming services that DON'T collect your data.
00:00 Intro
01:19 Overview
01:28 Audiobook Apps
03:40 Voice
05:26 Librivox
05:50 DRM Considerations

11:04 Music-Streaming Apps
11:45 VLC Media Player

14:22 Summary
Apps that minimize data collection can help us regain control over our personal information, while still allowing us to enjoy the convenience of our smartphone. While these alternatives may lack some of the features or integrations of their mainstream counterparts, they better protect your privacy, and are worth considering for a privacy-aware person.
It’s important we make choices that align with our values and needs, and choosing privacy-focused apps is a good way to signal to the market that we value our privacy.

Surveillance Coins Are Coming Jun 05, 2023

https://youtu.be/QZ8dmZiY05I
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/CBDCs:c20
CBDCs will put financial privacy, financial freedom, and security in grave danger. It's a new kind of money that will put the government at the center of digital transactions. It will be a tool for unprecedented financial surveillance and censorship, and the worst part is that basically every government around the world wants to create one.
In this video we chat with Marta Belcher, President of the Filecoin Foundation, about how CBDCs work and are different from the digital money we currently use, why CBDCs are dangerous for a free society, and what you can do to protect yourself as we usher in this new era of digital finance.
00:00 Intro
00:47 Overview
01:15 How CBDCs Work
05:07 Dangers of CBDCs
11:53 Global Interest
13:55 What You Can Do
15:55 Outro
Privacy is essential for a free society. It's time to challenge the surveillance that's been happening in the traditional banking system for decades, before we lose our rights completely.
Huge thank you to Marta Belcher from the Filecoin Foundation for sharing her expertise.

Most PRIVATE App Stores! May 18, 2023

https://youtu.be/PdxooS4g5tM
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Alt-app-store:f
App stores are central to how we use our smartphones. If you’re on Android you probably get all your apps from the Google Play Store, and if you’re on iOS you get your apps from the Apple App store. But there’s a catch: to access these app stores, you first have to sign in to an account. It links your app activity to a single identity and is a big privacy concern.
In this video we give you two options for more privacy-preserving app stores that you can use instead when you download apps to your phone.
00:00 Intro
00:35 Overview
00:48 Tying Downloads to an Account
03:16 F-Droid
06:14 Aurora Store
08:33 Conclusion
Alternative app stores, like F-Droid and Aurora Store not only allow you to enjoy phone apps without tying them to a single identity, but they also give you a greater variety of app choices, including those that are better for your privacy.

Assange: The Truth They've Been Hiding from You Apr 14, 2023

https://youtu.be/oyekPpdjAaU
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Assange:9c
Julian Assange, creator of Wikileaks, is an activist who has dedicated his life to exposing the lies and corruption of some of the most powerful governments on earth. He’s been honored with countless prestigious journalism awards, yet he languishes in prison under horrendous conditions, vilified as an enemy of the state. It’s hard for the average person to know what to think about Assange, because for over a decade his actions have been shrouded in a fog of conflicting narratives and media portrayals -- That is by design.
In this video we’ll expose 6 lies about Assange that have been deliberately used to distract us from what is one of the most important precedent-setting cases for freedom of speech of our generation. If there’s one thing you should take away from this, it’s that most of what you think you know about Assange is false.
00:00 Intro
03:03 Recap of Assange’s Case
05:40 Lie #1: Unredacted Document Dump
09:19 Lie #2: People Were Hurt
10:49 Lie #3: Hacked into Government Computers
16:10 Lie #4: Not a Real Journalist
16:48 Lie #5: “He’ll Be Safe”
17:55 Lie #6: Reasons for Leaving the Embassy
20:50 Assange is a Political Prisoner
21:44 Journalism is in Jeopardy
22:46 What Can You Do?
This case represents a critical juncture for the future of press freedom. It doesn’t matter whether you like Assange or not, or whether you’ve bought into the mainstream narratives against him. You should be very worried about the fate of journalism around the world.
It is time to recognize the stakes at hand and demand an end to this ordeal. Free Assange, and in doing so, protect the future of press freedom.
Special thanks to Assange's Father and Brother, John and Gabriel Shipton, for their fight.

Microsoft Is Spying On You! Jan 12, 2023

https://youtu.be/p3L7bLYz-mk
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Libreoffice:5
Microsoft's 365 Office Suite was recently banned in Germany over privacy concerns. Should you be using a more private office suite instead?
Microsoft Office is one of the most used suites of programs worldwide. They have become so common that their programs have worked their way into our daily vocabulary, and they set the standards for document formats.
It turns out that they collect a lot of data from their users, both when used online via their collaborative tooling, and "offline" with their downloaded software. Microsoft is also very closed lipped about the details of their data collection.
We dive into a report that recently came out of Germany looking at the privacy of Microsoft. We also look at a privacy-focused office suite alternative, LibreOffice, and how it compares.
00:00 Intro
00:42 What is Microsoft’s Office Suite?
01:37 Online vs Offline Products
03:08 Connected Experiences
04:27 Microsoft’s Data Collection Practices
07:20 Telemetry and Diagnostic Events Explained
08:52 Types of Diagnostic Data Microsoft Collects
10:05 Aria
11:22 LibreOffice
13:48 Other recommendations
Remember, your privacy is largely in your hands, and you can choose not to use products and services that collect all your data. If you have alternative products that you like and think we should check out, let us know!

00:51 Myth 1 - Privacy is Dead
04:45 Myth 2 - Online Tracking is Harmless
08:00 Myth 3 - It’s Not Personal Information
10:13 Myth 4 - Surveillance is Normal
12:35 What’s at Stake
13:07 Conclusion
Stop believing these people who tell us that we shouldn't bother protecting our privacy. The only way to preserve privacy in our lives is to value it and fight for it. We are empowered human beings, who can make better choices about the tech that we use, and we can opt for more privacy-preserving options.
Surveillance is not inevitable, let's stop normalizing it!

You NEED to learn about FIREWALLS! Dec 08, 2022

https://youtu.be/yKyjbeObQXg
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Firewalls:2
Your IoT devices are usually easy to hack, and they put the other devices on your network at risk. One way to help protect your more important devices is to keep them on a separate network, and create firewall rules that block your insecure devices from talking to any other network.
Your firewalls are a crucial part of your privacy and security setup. You can think of them like a bouncer at a building, deciding who is allowed to enter and who is not.
In this video we show you how to create a separate network for your insecure devices like IoT devices. We then show you how to create firewall rules to silo these devices on the separate network, so that they can't access any of your important devices on other networks.
00:00 Intro
00:38 What is a Basic Firewall?
02:13 What is a Next Gen Firewall?
03:38 Network Segmenting
04:00 Video Overview
04:45 Enabling OPT1 and OPT2 Interfaces
05:39 Creating our OPT1 and OPT2 Networks
08:02 DHCP
09:38 DNS
11:23 Firewalls
13:14 Testing Our Networks
13:42 Firewalls: Siloing Networks
21:18 Conclusion
Your home network is key to the privacy and security of your online activity, so it’s really worth taking the time to learn about how to make it more robust.
This is the 2nd video in our series about home networks. In the first we explained how your router is actually really insecure, how there’s better software and firmware you should be using, and we taught you how to install these better systems.

The Dark side of VPNs Nov 11, 2022

https://youtu.be/8MHBMdTBlok
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/vpn-scandals:5
It turns out that an overwhelming number of VPNs are actively harvesting and selling your data, capturing passwords / credentials / movements from your web activities, and doing all sorts of awful things.
VPNs can be super useful: to help you watch the Netflix catalogue of another country, avoid government surveillance and censorship under oppressive regimes, hide your IP address from websites, stay safe on public wifi, and stop your ISP from spying on your internet activities.
But it REALLY depends on which VPN you’re using.
In this video we’re going to explore which VPN companies own which review sites, which VPN permissions demand far too much access to your machine, which code has appalling security, and the giant red flags in a lot of this code that scream data collection.
00:00 Private Private Super Secret Secure VPN!
00:42 Intro
02:33 What VPNs Do
04:17 The Risk of Free VPN Services
05:30 1clickVPN
07:15 FreeVPN
08:44 ZenMate
10:03 AZA VPN and HULA VPN
11:29 NordVPN and ExpressVPN
14:01 Kape Technologies
15:23 Ziff Davis and White Labeling
16:42 Chinese Data Collection
18:04 Affiliate Sponsorships
18:57 Final Tips
19:21 Support NBTV/Outro
When you’re choosing a VPN or other tools for your privacy arsenal, it’s a good idea to do your own research and see what the security experts are saying. There’s some great information out there, but you do need to learn how to look for it.
Special Thanks to Jonathan Tomek for sharing his awesome research with us for this video!

You won't believe how UNSAFE your home router is! Nov 02, 2022

https://youtu.be/QPCbri1EJ8U
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/pfsense-protectli-tutorial:7
Your router is the gateway between your devices and the internet at large. If it’s compromised, it’s like leaving the front door to your home network wide open, allowing malicious actors to enter. Unfortunately the routers most of us use are VERY insecure, with all kinds of known vulnerabilities.
In this video we go over how to give your hardware and software a major overhaul, including a step-by-step tutorial for how to use pfSense on a Protectli firewall vault.
00:00 Intro
01:07 What’s in a “Router”?
03:30 Security Dangers
06:06 Upgrading with Protectli
06:43 Protectli Components Explained
07:50 Installation Tutorial
09:39 Configuring pfSense Settings
13:45 Power Cycling Tip
14:12 How Protectli Fits into Your Network Setup
15:57 Add WiFi Capabilities
16:36 How to Enable AP Mode
18:34 Setup Diagram
20:07 Conclusion
With pfSense and the Protectli vault, you can tweak your settings to incredibly granular levels. That's what we'll cover in future videos: how to configuring firewalls to block malicious traffic coming in AND telemetry going out, and how to set up a whole network VPN.

https://youtu.be/92I5JwlluK4
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Most-PRIVATE-Home-Cameras:5
Adding a security system to your home might not be a bad idea. But what kind of security system? And are there any that are truly secure and privacy-preserving?
We dive into a bunch of popular home security cameras, and how they they compare in terms of privacy.
00:00 Intro
00:54 Terms to Know
02:27 ADT
04:23 Ring
05:28 Nest
05:59 Eufy

15:46 Homebridge and OpenHAB
16:07 Trade-Offs

Spoiler alert, privacy doesn’t seem to be a focus of home security companies. It's also surprisingly difficult to find information about how private and secure each system is. But hopefully there are some solutions here that fit your threat model, and if not, we'll dive into a more complicated but private setup in an upcoming video!

Your money has been WEAPONIZED Oct 16, 2022

https://youtu.be/CBrX377jgr8
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/paypal-kills-free-speech:6
Last week Paypal, announced (and later backtracked) that it would impose a morality tax on its users, fining them for misinformation.
The financial industry has a long history of trying to curtail speech:
In 2010, Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal infamously suspended payments to Wikileaks after the non profit began to expose war crimes and government corruption.
In 2021 Only Fans announced it would start banning sexually explicit content, which is the whole point of the platform, citing pressure from “banking partners and payout providers.”
There have been free speech organizations cut off from payment services, independent media outlets blocked, privacy advocates banned.
Entire industries like medical marijuana have been targeted by and cut off from the financial system as part of Operation Chokepoint, which was a secretive initiative that intended to “choke off” businesses from financial services so that they couldn't survive.
Just this week Kanye West was told he and his business could no longer use Chase bank.
Unfortunately we live in a world where organizations that defend freedoms, challenge mainstream narratives, or hold governments accountable for corruption are cut off from the payment rails of society. Our money has been weaponized.
So how do we reclaim freedom of speech and choice?

Your Credit Card is Spying on You! Sep 29, 2022

https://youtu.be/rHFdXrre1Zk
Many of us are finally waking up to how important privacy is, and yet we don't think twice when we swipe our credit card.
Each time we opt to pay with plastic, our data is shared by our banks, the card network, the store, the point of sale system, the retailer's bank, our financial apps. And then all those entities share it with thousands more.
In this video we dive into financial privacy, and give you a glimpse of how much information gets shared about you through your financial choices.
We also look at why it's risky to use traditional financial tools when making donations to causes you care about, and dive into 2 groups that are innovating in the donation world.

https://youtu.be/V-zgeSGDx34
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Signal-Proxy-Server:e
The internet is often controlled and censored in times of civil unrest. Governments can block certain services, like access to websites or apps, or they can even shut off the internet entirely.
That’s exactly what’s going on in Iran at the moment. The government has partially shut down the internet as a result of protests, and they have also blocked access to the secure and private messaging app, Signal.
There are ways we can help: Set up a proxy signal server that Iranians can connect to, allowing them to communicate privately and securely during a hostile situation.

DON'T Buy Email Hosting From Your Web Registrar! Jul 23, 2022

https://youtu.be/K9SiOYRcTCc
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/private-email-hosting:9
Being able to use your business name for your email address is professional and also puts you more in control of your communications. Most email hosting options offered by your web registrar are NOT private though, so what do you do? You can host any domain email with Protonmail instead!
Protonmail is renowned for their great privacy and encryption, but you don't have to use their @protonmail.com email address -- they allow you to use your own custom domain, while still enjoying all the encryption benefits they have to offer!
In this video we will teach you how to move your custom email domain over to Protonmail, to keep all your communications private.
00:00: Intro
02:00: Protonmail Privacy
04:53: Moving Custom Domains to Protonmail
06:04: Adding Your Domain
06:18: Verify Your Domain
08:04: Configure DNS Records
08:50: Create Addresses / Add Users
09:23: Configure DNS Records - cont’d
14:15: Why Custom Domains Are Important
Let’s move towards email providers that don’t harvest the content of all our emails. This goes a long way to helping us reclaim our privacy in the digital age.

The Most Important Case in Crypto Jul 21, 2022

https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/The-Most-Important-Case-in-Crypto:5
Is every single crypto transaction about to be ruled illegal?
Yesterday one of the most important hearings in crypto took place, and most people had no idea.
Basically, the SEC is suing LBRY Inc. for illegally selling securities -- They argue that LBRY credits, or LBC (the token that makes the entire decentralized LBRY ecosystem run), is a security.
Yesterday was a hearing at the US District Court in New Hampshire to determine whether there would be a summary judgment or whether the case would move to trial. But the case is bigger than almost anyone realizes, and will set the precedent for how the ENTIRE INDUSTRY is regulated.
Here is what the SEC argued in court:
It doesn't matter if 75% of purchases are for utility
It doesn't matter if the work isn't being done by seller
It doesn't matter if the seller never uses investment language
All that matters is where the token price is moves on the open market.
This would mean that basically every cryptocurrency is a security.
If the SEC wins, every person who works in the industry or has ever bought or sold crypto is guilty of trading illegal securities.

Getting MULTIPLE PRIVATE Phone Numbers Jul 15, 2022

https://youtu.be/HYNZKQZEHoU
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell#4/Getting-MULTIPLE-PRIVATE-Phone-Numbers#5
Our cell number is tied to everything we do. Most of us have had our cell phone numbers for many years, even decades, and we hand it out to everyone: to merchants, healthcare providers, social media accounts.
That number can become associated to us like a social security number, and it allows all our interactions to be correlated.
We need to ditch the idea that we have just one number our whole lives, that we give to everyone.
In this video we’re going to give an example of a clean up strategy you can use to lock down your existing number, and create multiple VoIP numbers not associated to your real world identity, that don’t tie all your activities together.
00:00 Why Handing Your Cell Number Out Is Dangerous
02:36 VoIP vs Cell Number
05:16 New Phone Strategy Overview
05:47 Porting Existing Number to VoIP
06:17 Number Porting/SIM Swap Attacks
07:23 Google Voice Porting
08:24 VoIP Communications are NOT PRIVATE
10:10 New SIM
10:26 Creating Multiple VoIP Numbers
12:02 MySudo
Note: The specific products mentioned are available in a few countries including America, but the overall ideas that you should never hand out your cell number, should lock down existing cell numbers by porting to voip, should get a new sim phone number you don't share with anyone, and should only use voip numbers going forward, are universal concepts. Hopefully this video will help you choose the right strategy for wherever you are based!

How Your WiFi is Betraying You Jul 02, 2022

Assange once said, “A mobile phone is a tracking device that also makes calls”. He’s not wrong. There are countless ways that phones track our movements, and one of them is via WiFi probe requests.
In this video we explain how your phone automatically connects to your WiFi whenever you return home or to your favorite coffee shop, and why it leaves your device vulnerable to all kinds of attacks and surveillance -- it can allow people to maliciously intercept your internet traffic, track you, or find out personal information about you.
Main takeaways:
Turn your WiFi OFF when you're not using it
Don't automatically connect to WiFi networks
Forget networks after joining them
Keep your OS and device updated

They're not SELLING your data. It's MUCH worse... May 31, 2022

It says on the Big G's website:

The truth is, they ARE SHARING your personal and sensitive information, and being compensated handsomely in return. But what’s ACTUALLY going on in this exchange is far WORSE that you can possibly imagine.

ISPs Share "Netflow" Data & Trace Traffic Through VPNs May 19, 2022

Apple's Private Relay: better than a VPN? May 14, 2022

Apple’s iCloud Private Relay was unveiled in the middle of last year, and it made a big splash in the tech community. It makes browsing using Safari, Apple’s web browser, more private and anyone who has a paid iCloud account can turn it on. For the average user, it seems to be a huge step forward for privacy.
But does this mean you should add it to your security toolbox?
We’ll dive into how private relay works, all the pros and cons, and how it compares to VPNs and Tor, so that you can decide whether it’s the right fit for you.
00:00 - Intro

EU's TERRIFYING Mass Surveillance Plan - w/ Matthew Green May 12, 2022

A leaked document from the EU, proposing new regulation, describes the most sophisticated mass surveillance machinery ever deployed outside of China and the USSR.
The proposal is for a new mass surveillance system that will read private text messages, not to detect CSAM, but to detect “grooming”.
It would mandate scanning of encrypted messages for CSAM material.
Once you open up “machines reading your text messages” for any purpose, there are no limits.
Matthew Green, renowned security expert and cryptography professor, says:
"Let me be clear what that means: to detect 'grooming' is not simply searching for known CSAM. It isn’t using AI to detect new CSAM, which is also on the table.
It’s running algorithms reading your actual text messages to figure out what you’re saying, at scale."
Matthew and I dive into everything you need to know.

Snowden participated in the creation of Zcash! Apr 28, 2022

In a video just released by Zcash media, he said that he was happy to be involved because it was an interesting project being worked on by trusted cryptographers. He had used a pseudonym "John Dobbertin" during his participant, and Dobbertin's real identity had remained a mystery until today.

Apple Users' Privacy & Security Under Threat! Apr 14, 2022

Apple CEO, Tim Cook, spoke at a conference this week about how Apple privacy may be under threat. Cook says Cook that potential legislation in both the USA and EU would loosen Apple's grip over their walled garden, and create a security risk to users. One of the potential threats he discussed was sideloading, another was backdoors in encryption.
We discuss some of the legislation being discussed, what sideloading is, and why this and encryption backdoors could affect the privacy and security of Apple users.

THESE apps had HIDDEN code secretly sending data to US Intelligence! Apr 07, 2022

Hidden code in certain apps has been sending your data to... a US Intelligence defense contractor??
Apparently app creators were PAID to put an SDK from Measurement Systems into their app, which harvested data like precise location, email, and phone numbers, nearby computers and mobile devices, information that is stored in the phone’s clipboard including passwords, and it had the ability to scan parts of the phone’s file system, including specifically the files stored in the WhatsApp downloads folder.
According to the WSJ, the company collecting the data "is linked through corporate records and web registrations to a Virginia defense contractor that does cyber intelligence, network-defense and intelligence-intercept work for U.S. national-security agencies."
We give you all the details.

Assange's Appeal Denied Mar 16, 2022

#Shorts Quick update: The UK Supreme Court just refused Assange the right to appeal against the US extradition request.
A spokesperson stated that the reason it was denied was because Assange's application did not raise "an arguable point of law".
Now the decision goes to UK Home Secretary Priti Patel to authorize the extradition.
After approval, Assange will have one last opportunity to challenge the ruling in a final appeal to the High Court.
The corruption & vindictiveness of this case is staggering.

The Secret NSA building hidden in plain sight Mar 10, 2022

Once the most trusted search engine for private and neutral search results, Duck Duck Go, just announced that they will now be censoring and filtering content. It may have lost them their core userbase. We'll dive into some alternative search engines, and share Brave CEO Brendan Eich's responses about how Brave Search works.
Also, it turns out that one of NYC's most iconic skyscrapers, shrouded in mystery for years with no publicly available information about it, is actually a giant NSA surveillance center. Codenamed TITANPOINTE, the center is hidden in plain sight right in the middle of Manhattan, but is actually one of the most important NSA surveillance sites on U.S. soil.
Ryan Gallagher and Henrik Moltke wrote a couple of great pieces for the Intercept a while ago diving into these, which recently resurfaced again on Hacker News, that we'll explore on the show.

THIS 2-Factor-Authentication method is NOT secure!! Mar 06, 2022

If a hacker gets access to your email, bank, or crypto account, they can turn your life upside down. How secure are YOUR accounts?
One thing that can help you secure them is to use 2fa (2-factor-authentication) where you have to use multiple methods to sign into an account, rather than just a single password on a website. 2FA makes your account MUCH more secure.
But not all 2FA methods are create equal. For example SIM swaps allow hackers to intercept certain 2FA methods, so if your account is tied to a phone number then you're more vulnerable to being hacked.
We dive into various 2FA methods, including SMS verification, TOTP apps (authenticator apps), and security keys (like YubiKey), explain which is the most secure, and also talk about the tradeoffs of each.
For more info about 2FA, check out this awesome article from Paul Stamatiou: https://paulstamatiou.com/getting-started-with-security-keys/

How much do you know about what your router is actually doing with that data?
Which data does it collect?
Is it tracking the websites you visit?
Is it selling your data to 3rd parties?
A great article was released this week in CNet by Ry Crist, diving into all of this, and as an expert who has been researching routers for years he was able to dig into the privacy policies of major router companies and also ask them directly about their data policies.
We dive into what you need to know about routers: the data your router has access to, whether your privacy is at risk, and tools you can use to protect yourself.

No, we're NOT entering Crypto Winter Mar 03, 2022

Bank of America just released their “Digital Assets: In the Flow” report. Their analysts predict that, while the upside for cryptocurrencies will be limited for the next 6 months, we're not entering a "Crypto Winter", given the current "levels of user adoption and growth in development activity".
We actually agree. This market downturn isn't like previous downturns: the use case of uncensorable money is loud and clear right now.

Meanwhile another fundraising campaign on Patreon raising money for a nonprofit giving body armor to Ukrainian army, was shut down by Patreon.

2 Legendary Hackers REVEAL Their Early Lives Feb 24, 2022

In the 90s the term Cypherpunk became commonly used to describe a movement of coders who wanted to change the world via privacy-tools like encryption. They fought against the US government's war on encryption and won, and their legacy continues today as many of the most powerful tools we use for protecting privacy today were built by some of these early cypherpunks.
I chat to 2 OG and legendary cypherpunks, Zooko Wilcox and Michael Tiffany, about the early cypherpunk years, how times have changed, and which battles remain the same today.

Canada's SHOCKING Payment Blockade: Crypto Saves the Day! Feb 18, 2022

Canada's authoritarian response to protestors has shocked the world, as they declare that bank accounts and digital assets can be frozen with no due process or court orders, and no liability for the banks that shut them down. They have added crowdfunding (fiat and crypto) platforms to be regulated as part of their terrorism laws, and announced that multiple crypto addresses have been sanctioned because those people either received or donated funds associated with protestors.
We dive into the crackdown, and how privacy coins are more important than ever, with special guest Ben Armstrong of BitBoy Crypto!

Fined $100 MILLION for... having a popular product? Feb 16, 2022

BlockFi is being forced to pay a $100 million settlement with the SEC and state regulators for offering people high yield on their accounts. They've been under investigation since the end of last year for offering earnings as high as 9.5%. With Inflation currently at 7.5% (according to official numbers), it's no wonder that this opportunity for people to safeguard some of the value of their savings has been so popular. But now the SEC are cracking down.
As Erik Voorhees said:
BlockFi did nothing wrong; they harmed nobody. They built a great company that provides a service customers love. It's disgraceful that regulators are stealing $100m from them. The absurdity of penalizing an innovative company that offers 8% yield on the dollar while inflation ravages peoples' savings...

CIA Mass Surveillance, Tracking Crypto Transactions, Inflation, & a bill to ban E2EE! Feb 11, 2022

TOP STORIES:
Inflation hits 7.5%
Bull Market Again?
Hungary Wants EU Crypto Ban
How Private Are Your Crypto Transactions?
CIA Secret Surveillance Program
EARN IT Bill is BACK
Huge news: CIA's bulk surveillance program revealed, and the insidious EARN IT bill that Snowden called a "disgrace", passed unanimously.
The biggest crypto news this week was the couple who were arrested for allegedly laundering $4.5billion from the 2016 Bitfinex hack. But the most interesting part of the story was how the government was able to trace these funds through dark market accounts, in and out of bitcoin and into privacy coins.
We chat to a chain analytics expert about how this was possible, and the data that is leaked every time we transact in crypto.

Rep. Emmer: “Financial privacy is the definition of freedom” Feb 10, 2022

This year Congressman Emmer proposed a bill to limit the Fed's ability to issue its own digital currency.
He says that a CBDC is an Orwellian surveillance tool, and that we should not be trying to emulate China.
He has been an outspoken advocate for financial privacy, and so we chatted to him about cryptocurrencies, and whether the SEC and Fed are taking us down a dangerous path.

Inflation hits 7.5% -- 40-YEAR HIGH! Feb 10, 2022

CPI numbers just released, and US inflation has soared to 7.5% in the past year, which is a 40-year high.
Price increases covered the entire economy:
Wages have risen at the fastest pace in at 20 years.
Electricity skyrocketed 4.2% in January alone, up 10.7% over the year.
Furniture and supplies saw the largest one-month increase on record since 1967.
Food costs, air fares, all rose.
Used-car prices: Up 41% from a year ago!
This is what happens when you quadruple the money supply in a year.
And yet the money printing continues.
Might be a good time to think about where to park your money outside of cash.

More about the Assange NFT:
'Censored' is a 2-part NFT collection by artist Pak in collaboration with imprisoned WikiLeaks-founder Julian Assange.
It will be auctioned on February 7th.
The first part is a one of a kind ("1/1 edition") NFT, which Pak describes as "dynamic and generative" - meaning that the digital art piece changes over time.
The second part of the collection is an "open edition" which will also be participative.
Renowned digital artist Pak is one of the highest grossing artists alive, known for pushing conceptual and stylistic boundaries. Pak became a household name in the traditional art world after Sotheby's auctioned his collection 'The “Fungible' in April 2021, selling for US $16.8 million. In December 2021, Pak again made headlines as his collection 'The Merge' set a new record for an artwork sold publicly by a living artist at US $91.8 million, surpassing Jeff Koons's "Rabbit".
Proceeds of the NFT will go to benefit Julian Assange's defense fund as he fights against a US extradition request.

ASSANGE FIGHTS the FATAL blow to Press Freedom Jan 24, 2022

Today the UK announced the Julian Assange has won the right to appeal his extradition to the USA.
Assange's brother, Gabriel Shipton, reveals the full story of government corruption, assassination attempts, and why this case sets the most dangerous precedent for freedom of the press of our lifetime.
"The national security state doesn't want its secrets exposed. They're using the espionage act to clamp down on publishers. They're afraid of leaks. They're afraid of being surveilled. ... Julian turned the lens of surveillance back around onto them. ... They want Julian dead. ... There's a worldwide movement of people who see this case for what it is.
It's the criminalization of telling the truth - the criminalization of journalism. ...
He's my hero actually. But he's also my brother."

RegFi vs DarkFi: The Coming Storm Jan 14, 2022

Crypto was created to exist outside the control of any government, yet regulation keeps getting more severe. The result of this regulation is that crypto will split into two:

"RegFi will be unusable and bolted down. It will be toothless.

The other side will be the underground DarkFi. It will have bite."

Crypto OG Amir Taaki talks about the coming storm in crypto, and why the crypto narrative we support is the difference between this being a powerful tool for freedom, or nothing at all.

SECRET MSGS phone companies DON'T want you to know about Dec 13, 2021

What is AT&T doing at 1111340002?
That is what SIM expert David Allen Burgess asked when he found secret records of phone activity that the user had no idea about.
Welcome to the magical world of proactive SIMs - SIM cards that send data off your phone without you or your phone's operating system knowing.
There is no public documentation about these messages, there's no way to see all the information in the messages, and the cell companies won't talk about it.
Are SIM cards more vulnerable than we'd thought?
Huge thank you to David Allen Burgess for his time and expertise! You can read his original report here:

The BEST Ways Protect Your Computer Dec 04, 2021

We all want to protect our computers from Malware: things like computer viruses, spyware, and ransomware. Advertisements will tell you that having extra antivirus software installed on your computer is the best solution, but a lot of people don't realize that most computers these days already have antivirus protection built in.

Also, is 3rd party antivirus software really all that it is cracked up to be?

In some cases, having this installed in your machine can actually be WORSE than having none at all.

In this video, I go over how antivirus software works (and how it doesn’t), how it can be exploited by hackers, and the BEST protections agains malware.

Chapters:

00:00 - Intro

00:16 - Types of Malware

01:27 - What is Anti-malware Software

01:52 - Pros and Cons of AM Software

10:24 - Operating Systems: Linux

11:38 - Operating Systems: Chrome OS

12:55 - Best Protections Against Malware

Antivirus protection is important, but remember that having good computer hygiene is the first step towards protecting yourself! Keep your computer updated, be mindful of links that you click and files you download, and always have your computer backed up.

Best Places in the World for Crypto? Part 1 (2021) Nov 26, 2021

Where is the best place in the world for crypto? This could mean multiple things:

Glenn Greenwald says Decentralized Media is the Ultimate Solution Nov 19, 2021

"Ultimately the only real solution ... is to stop using platforms and start using protocols, things like Ghost and Odysee and places like that. There is no CEO that you can sufficiently pressure into deplatforming somebody. It just technologically can't be done because of how decentralized blockchain is."
That is what Glenn Greenwald said in an interview with me this week, but he also recognized that he's not sure these protocols are pervasive and user friendly enough yet. Greenwald has been embracing the world of alternative media platforms recently, building one of the most successful Substacks, where he sends regular articles directly to his subscribers without fear of censorship.
00:00 Intro
00:14 The Fourth Estate
05:12 Government Control of the Narrative
11:34 The Migration to Alternative Media
20:06 The Ultimate Solution to Censorship
Glenn Greenwald was central to the publication of the Snowden revelations, was awarded the 2013 George Polk Award, and his journalism led to The Guardian and The Washington Post winning a Pulitzer Prize.
In 2014, he launched The Intercept with Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill, and was co-founding editor until he resigned in October 2020 over censorship.
Since then has been publishing on Substack, an online newsletter-based journalism platform, which you can find here: https://greenwald.substack.com/

How To DE-GOOGLE Your Phone! Nov 04, 2021

(Note: graphene only works on Pixel phones, if you have a non pixel phone you can instal lineage, but it’s a more complicated process)
Google is all over our phones. The amount of data that they’re collecting about us is astronomical, regardless of whether we’re using an iPhone or an Android.
But why does it matter if Google knows so much about us?
First, that data is being siphoned up by governments: Not just the US government, but governments all over the world. While we’re probably not doing anything wrong, what is considered “normal” or “acceptable” today may not be tomorrow. Regimes come and go, culture changes, but that data is forever.
Second, carving out some privacy in our digital lives is important. Surveillance has dramatic effects on a society: We self-censor and conform when we know we’re being watched.
Luckily there are lots of ways that we can protect our data so that it’s not all collected and stored in a permanent record attached to our identity.
I went to a “de-google your phone” install party the other weekend, where we learnt how to install a new operating system on our phones that will better protect our privacy.
We installed “GrapheneOS”, a privacy and security-enhancing phone operating system recommended by Snowden. We also downloaded some awesome google-alternative apps.
In this video I’ll teach you how to do this too. (NOTE: GRAPHENE ONLY WORKS WITH PIXEL PHONES)
00:00 Intro
02:29 What is GrapheneOS?
03:51 Install Tutorial
07:44 Alternative to Google apps
11:02 My takeaways
11:25 Purchasing a pre-installed Graphene phone
Difficulty level for this tutorial:
1.5/3
It is actually not that difficult to live a Google-free lifestyle, enjoying almost all the things you would normally do on your phone, without compromising your privacy.
Huge thank you to members of Boston Zcash for their help organizing this de-googling installation party, Kieran from Railgun for his help with research, and the many other privacy experts I consulted!
I’m considering offering phones on my website with graphene and all the core apps that I use preinstalled. Visit https://nbtv.media/essentialprivacy if interested in learning more!

Snowden recommends THIS operating system: Tails Oct 28, 2021

If you want more privacy on the internet, the operating system you choose plays a crucial role.
We’ve all heard of Windows and Mac, but the “Tails” operating system puts privacy first. Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, and Laura Poitras swear by it.
Tails aims to “do the right thing” right out of the box by default, to protect less tech-savvy users from the most likely and highest impact risks to their privacy.
On of the most interesting aspects:
It wipes the memory of the system every time you log off, leaving no trace of what was done on the computer. You run if from a USB stick, and it doesn’t affect anything else on your computer.
To be clear, this isn’t going to be your every day system: It’s an extreme privacy measure for high risk people like activists and journalists. But if you don’t like the idea of everything you do on the internet being monitored, this might be an option to try out.
I’ll walk you through how to install Tails, how to use it, and will go over important warnings you need to know when using it.
00:00 - What is Tails?
02:52 - How to Install Tails
06:29 - How to Use TAILS
07:00 - Important Warnings
07:53 - My Takeaways
Give Tails a try, you might be pleasantly surprised.

You might have SPYWARE on your phone! Oct 14, 2021

Does someone have remote access to your phone? Can they access your cameras without you knowing, and see everything you do on the device? How would you know if they could?
There are hundreds of spyware apps that can be used to spy or track people without their knowledge. It's often called "Stalkerware". Sometimes these apps are targeted towards nervous parents who want to keep tabs on their children for their safety. But other times it’s a controlling domestic partner who installs the spyware.
Not only is Stalkerware an extreme violation of trust, but it's also incredibly dangerous, because the spyware company itself also gets access to all the sensitive information on the phone.
We dive into different types of stalkerware, how to detect it, and what to do if you find any on your device. We’ll also give some tips to beef up your phone security to prevent this stuff from being installed in the first place.

What is a GOOD VPN? Oct 07, 2021

VPNs are often considered an essential part of your toolkit if you want to live a modern, privacy-conscious lifestyle... but most computer security experts will tell you that they’re not tools for privacy AT ALL!
When you use a consumer VPN, the VPN company is able to see everything you’re doing. Many log and even sell all of your data.
And even if they promise not to, it’s difficult to verify.
But that doesn’t mean we need to avoid commercial VPNs altogether -- there can be good reasons to use one.
For example, if you’re on public wifi at an airport or coffee shop, or if you want to spoof your location.
But not all VPNs are created equally, and a big piece of evaluating a VPN provider is understanding how they make their money and how responsibly they handle data.
In this video, I go over how VPNs work, when to use them, and criteria for choosing a good one.
00:00 - Intro
01:04 - How VPNs Work
01:14 - Why use a VPN?
03:10 - Criteria for a VPN
08:04 - Recommended VPNs
VPNs do have their place in your privacy toolkit - just make sure you are using them correctly!

Charles Hoskinson: Cardano, Crypto Toxicity & Institutional COLLAPSE Sep 30, 2021

Charles Hoskinson is best known as the creator of Cardano, a top 4 cryptocurrency that has been comfortably in the top 10 for a while now.
But before that, he was a co-founder of Ethereum, he was part of BitShares with Dan Larimer, and he was the creator of the Bitcoin Education Project.
Back in 2014, long before Ethereum had even launched, I first met and interviewed Charles, at a conference in Toronto. Now 7 years later, we reconnected in Mexico at the Satoshi Roundtable, and dived into everything that’s happened since then. Cardano’s meteoric rise, Ethereum’s success, and the shift of Bitcoin culture.

What is a VIRTUAL credit/debit card? (2021) Sep 23, 2021

Credit cards are a notoriously insecure means of payment and credit card fraud is one of the most common types of identity theft in the US. We give out our credit card number constantly without even thinking about it, and with it our name and home address.
Enter Virtual Credit Cards: they're like a VPN for your credit card. No more revealing private information to every stranger from whom you want to make a purchase. No more handing out the keys to the kingdom that allow anyone to draw money from your account.
Crypto is my preferred means of payment because you retain sovereignty over your money, you can have much better financial privacy, and you can save a bunch of money if you use services like Purse.io, Bitrefill, and Dash Direct.
BUT...
Some people are not yet ready to take the plunge completely into crypto. So if you enjoy the world of recurring payments and credit card purchases but are looking for a more private option, VIRTUAL credit cards may be for you!
In this video, Josh Summers from “All Things Secured” explains how virtual credit cards work and why they're great for giving back some privacy and control over your money.

Snowden’s FAVORITE privacy coin: Zcash Sep 10, 2021

More and more people are waking up to why financial privacy is so important, and just how invasive the traditional banking system is.

Scrub your Metadata with THESE Tools Sep 03, 2021

Did you know that when you share a photo online, you might be revealing the exact location of your home? Or that when you print a document, there are hidden dots on the page that reveal the exact printer the document came from?
Metadata is data about data. It's attached to EVERY digital artifact, and when you share a digital file, you're probably revealing a lot more information than intended.
How do you find this metadata and erase it? We'll teach you in this video.

The Most PRIVATE Search Engine (2021) Aug 27, 2021

Search engines completely revolutionized how we access the web. If you want to find a website, you can type in keywords and search engines will show you a list of websites that match your criteria.
But your searches can reveal a lot of private information about you: your interests, location, medical conditions, political affiliation.
Google has 90% of the market share for searches, and they track everything you do. This gives them a deep, granular insight into who you are, and this is information that they sell.
Search engines are also an effective tool for controlling what information people have access to, and there are many studies that look at how search engines influence the behavior of users by filtering out some search results and prioritizing others.
Luckily there are many ways you can protect your privacy and take back control over your quests for information. Sometimes you sacrifice the quality of your search results by doing this, but other times you’d be surprised at how good alternative results are.
We look at the following privacy-focused browsers:
00:00 - What is a search engine?
5:00 - DuckDuckGo
6:56 - MetaGer
8:00 - SearX
9:15 - Qwant
10:17 - StartPage
11:57 - Mojeek
13:01 - YaCy
14:24 - Brave Search
Always assess your personal risk and threat-level when choosing a search engine, and remember that taking small steps to minimize your internet footprint can go a long way in protecting your privacy!

How to Live ENTIRELY on Crypto Aug 20, 2021

Now that you've gotten into crypto, what do you DO with your crypto?
Many people are building their savings in cryptocurrencies that can't be debased, in preparation for potential future economic upheaval.
But there are some who argue that this day of upheaval is already here:
- We have a financial system where you have to ask permission to use your own money, and payments can be blocked
- Where every time you swipe your card your purchases are tracked & monitored.
- Where any savings that you do leave in fiat in your bank account are losing value fast.
So for this reason, more and more people are choosing not to have any money in fiat at all. They convert all their savings to crypto, and then live entirely off that crypto.
As part of my beginner’s guide to using crypto everyday, I spent a day with Joël Valenzuela to find out how he lives 100% on crypto:
How does he buy groceries? Pay rent? Buy from major chains that don't accept crypto? Manage volatility?
His answers are really helpful for anyone ready to take the plunge!

WHY Snowden Says Don’t Use WiFi: RESPONSE VIDEO (2021) Aug 13, 2021

Snowden once tweeted:
"I wouldn't use WiFi at home, because global maps of every wireless access point's unique ID—including yours—are free and constantly updated. I would use ethernet; yes, ethernet on a phone."
A while ago I made a video that explained why you should never turn your phone into a hotspot, and why wifi is less secure than a wired ethernet connection. It was shocking to me how much data we're sending out via radio-waves without realizing.
The video went viral with over a MILLION views! And there have been so many FANTASTIC questions and comments that I felt it warranted a follow up response video. This new video also updates, clarifies and corrects some information that was not 100% explained the first time around.

How to set up an ANONYMOUS iPhone & Apple Computer Jul 03, 2021

Our lives and day-to-day activities have largely moved onto our digital devices. But this new digital landscape is filled with people trying to monitor these activities and figure out exactly what we’re doing on our devices.
What if we don’t want all of our online activity to be viewable by strangers?
I decided to see if it were possible to set up new apple devices that weren’t tied to my identity in any way – that were completely anonymous. And I found the more private I wanted to be... the less convenient it was.
Some quick tips:
Use cash
Beware of iCloud
Disable Siri
NEVER remember wifi networks!
I chose Apple products for this video because they’re mainstream, and will go over some other private solutions in other videos.
One resource I highly recommend if you’re interested in extreme privacy is a fantastic book by Michael Bazzel called “Extreme Privacy: What It Takes to Disappear”

Bitcoin and Inflation: What's the connection? Jun 26, 2021

Are we in for another bear cycle lasting years, or are we going to the moon? To figure that out, we have to look at what caused the recent run up.
Brian Brooks is the former Acting Comptroller of the Currency, and current CEO of Binance.US, so he has a particularly insightful perspective that bridges the worlds of traditional finance and crypto.

The MOST private email service (2021) Jun 22, 2021

E-mail remains an essential backbone of internet communication, with over 4 billion users worldwide. But is it private?
Actually it's inherently insecure. Furthermore, the vast majority of users rely on free online email services.
Did you know that they use AI algorithms to scan your emails in order to learn more about you? Or that emails are stored in the clear, meaning in the event of a hack, all your emails would be leaked?
Do you know what Metadata is and how much is collected by your email provider?
In this video, we go over what makes a good private email service and provide you with valuable suggestions for safer alternatives than the big names you are used to.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer for email, as it depends on your own threat model. But moving away from that old gmail or yahoo account is a GREAT place to start.

Amazon sidewalk... a surveillance network? Jun 09, 2021

Amazon Sidewalk has launched! But how secure is it?
As of today, owners of Ring security cameras and Alexa devices are contributing a small portion of their internet bandwidth to create a network that makes it so devices stay connected further away from a home router and remain online when local Wi-Fi goes down.
Sounds great for home security, but what about privacy? It means Amazon can stay connected to you AT ALL TIMES. And everyone with an Amazon device is automatically opted-IN by default. Millions of people will now be co-opted into the program whether they know anything about it or not. It's also worth noting that fmr NSA director Keith Alexander now works on the board of Amazon.
As always, your privacy choices are your own preference, but you should ALWAYS be aware when people are collecting your data so that you can make informed decisions. But if you are privacy conscious, you might want to Opt out of Sidewalk!

Ryanair Flight ILLEGALLY Grounded to Catch Dissident… Déjà vu? May 27, 2021

Outrage sparked after a Ryanair flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Belarus this week, so that authorities could arrested an opposition activist on board. The orders to arrest journalist, Roman Protasevich, came directly from Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
US and EU officials have condemned the actions calling it "outrageous and illegal behavior” and some are even calling it “unprecedented”.
The government’s attack on the media in Belarus is disgraceful. However, some of the very same figures who are now outraged at Belarus are conveniently forgetting their own actions just eight years ago when the US and EU conspired to ground a plane carrying the President of Bolivia in order to conduct a search for Edward Snowden.
I’d like their pro “freedom of the press” narrative more if it were actually sincere, but while Julian Assange is still behind bars, it’s hard to believe that the Biden administration and US pundits have suddenly embraced dissident journalists and information freedom.

The UNTOLD story of Bitcoin Pizza Day May 22, 2021

The story of the $400,000,000 Pizza! (or $380,000,000 to be precise...)
Eleven years ago today, Laszlo Hanyecz made what would become one of the most famous food purchases of all time, and now today will forever be known as Bitcoin Pizza Day.
Hanyecz asked an online forum if anyone would be willing to send him 2 large pizzas in exchange for 10,000 Bitcoins.
Jeremy Sturdivant took the offer, and it was the first exchange of real world goods for Bitcoin in history.
Some say both men were ultimately fools for not holding onto those 10,000 Bitcoin.
Others recognize that this exchange grounded bitcoin’s price in terms of real world goods for the first time ever, and became a catalyst for greater adoption. We finally had a money that was uncensorable, peer-to-peer, permissionless, and you could actually use it in your every day life to buy things.
It was a revolution, covered in marinara sauce.
Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day, everyone!
And thank you Hanyecz and Sturdivant for helping ignite what quickly became a full fledged crypto revolution!

The End of Centralized Exchanges: THORchain May 16, 2021

Cryptocurrency holds the key to our decentralized and permissionless future. But one of the biggest problems in cryptocurrency is that all of these decentralized blockchains are like isolated islands. You have the bitcoin blockchain, the ethereum blockchain, the cardano blockchain. And to move from one island to another you have to rely on gatekeepers: centralized exchanges. They can deny you access, seize your funds, they can be shut down by governments or forced to delist certain coins.
There have been experiments with decentralized exchanges, but none of them have achieved the success of something like Uniswap -- a major breakthrough in dexes that allows you to exchange assets within the walled garden of Ethereum.
But now there’s Thorchain: It’s like a highway connecting these islands. A cross-chain Uniswap. It allows people to move assets from one chain to another freely, without KYC, without them losing control of their funds, without them having to get permission first.
Plus you can earn yield on your native assets.
I chat with Thorchain community member Chad Barraford about how Thorchain and the Rune token work.

Confused by Crypto Taxes? What you need to know May 11, 2021

First of all, this is not tax advice. These are things that I've learnt and I wanted to share them.

Second, this is not an endorsement of taxes. Many will argue it’s ethical to pay taxes because they support public goods. But a significant portion of your taxes goes towards funding things like the military invasions and occupations, so I can't get behind an ethical justification of taxes.

Third, many people use taxes as an excuse for why they shouldn't use crypto everyday. Taxes are really not a show stopper, and I hope through this video to make them a little less daunting!

Fourth, there are some neat tricks regarding retirement accounts and donations that might be able to help you.

Huge thank you to Roger Brown for his help with this video. You can check out his company Lukka here:

Signal's BRILLIANT Ad Campaign May 06, 2021

When we think about how Facebook and Instagram target ads towards us, we typically think of cold, clinical terms like “metadata”, “abstract analytics” or “the algorithm”. And whether you like targeted ads or find them uncomfortable, I’d bet almost no one gives enough thought to JUST how personal the ads we see are.

In their most recent ad campaign, renowned private messaging app, Signal, exposed how social media companies “...collect everything they can from you, in order to sell visibility into your life,” and it is WAY creepier than ever you ever thought possible.

Your privacy is of the utmost importance! Switch to a secure messaging app like Signal where possible, and use app extensions like Facebook Container on Firefox, or similar settings on Brave, to keep the algorithm from invading your private life!

The MOST Private Browser (2021) May 01, 2021

Web browsers are the gateway to the internet so it is no surprise that they often become the target of companies or hackers who want to collect information about YOU! Not only can websites can track you, but browsers themselves can also send back information about you to the browser’s parent company - In other words, your browsers become spies for the likes of Google or Microsoft and send all these information back to them to monetize! This video will compare the most popular browser options out there and help you make an informed decision best suited to you!

The major browsers discussed in this video are Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Tor Browser, Microsoft Edge, and Brave. There is often a trade-off between privacy and convenience with browsers, but there are some great options that give you a good degree of both.

An important note: A privacy-focused browser is essential for private internet usage… but it’s not sufficient. There are many ways your internet usage can be tracked. To learn more, check out some of the other videos in my privacy series, that will give you a great introduction to how to live a modern, privacy-conscious lifestyle!

NFTs: What are you REALLY buying? Apr 26, 2021

NFTs are taking the world by storm!
Non-fungible tokens, mainly used for collectibles and art. People are buying into these digital keepsakes thinking they'll last forever.
But often, this isn't true.
Most people think that when they’re buying an NFT, they’re getting an image that will sit in their account on the website they purchased it from. But what they’re actually getting is a link on a blockchain. And links can break.
Some people's NFTs have been disappearing from their accounts, and some have been disappearing from the internet altogether!
I dive under the hood of NFTs with Aaron Gooch, CTO at Realio Fund, to talk about which NFTs will last forever, and which are vaporware.
There are many NFT platforms out there to be wary of. But for the record, I think that NFTs are super cool -- only if they're done properly and are actually decentralized and stored with redundancy and permanency! Check out my beginner's guide to NFTs: https://youtu.be/lvEOgtjrrqc

"See Something Say Something Online" takes aim at Freedom of Speech Apr 13, 2021

The Senate is taking aim at something called Section 230.
Elizabeth Nolan Brown, a senior editor at Reason Magazine, says:
“Section 230 is more important than the first amendment for online speech”
That’s because Section 230 protects online platforms from getting in trouble for publishing your opinion. It’s basically the law that made the internet what it is today. Without it platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, Hacker News and others wouldn’t be able to operate as they do.
So of course, both the left and right want to destroy it.
One bipartisan attempt to reform the law is called the "See Something Say Something Online” Act, which is a really scary piece of legislation that would put the DOJ in charge of filtering internet content, and allow everyone to file a “suspicious activity report” against any website. This would not only be weaponized against those with views others don’t like, but it would also create a mountain of bureaucracy on the internet, and essentially eliminate free speech. Furthermore, it would also be a completely opaque reporting system not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
Will decentralized social media be the solution to such attempts to shut down freedom of speech on the internet? Jack Dorsey, Charles Hoskinson, and Dan Larimer think it might.

4 Reasons to Use Crypto Everyday: beginner’s guide Apr 07, 2021

This beginner’s crypto series starts with 4 reasons more and more people use cryptocurrency everyday.
- ECONOMIC HEDGE
The first reason is the most well known: a hedge against economic instability. 27% of all money ever created by the FED was created in the past 12 months. This is staggering, and a big reason why the likes of Microstrategy, Square, and Tesla are pouring billions into bitcoin. They want a hedge against inflation of the US dollar.
But there are 3 other VERY important reasons you might want to use cryptocurrency every day instead of your bank card.
- PRIVACY
Cash is great, but you can’t use it on the internet. And it’s not possible to use your bank card without everything you do being tracked and recorded. Cryptocurrency allows you financial privacy in the digital age.
- CONTROL
When your money is in a bank account, you don’t control it. Someone else decides who can access it, and what the money can be used for. In 2010 banks decided people could no longer donate to wikileaks. In 2013, people in Cyprus woke up to find half the savings in their bank accounts had been seized. Cryptocurrency doesn’t need banks. You can control your own money without getting someone’s permission.
- SAVE MONEY
Websites like purse.io can save you over 30% on every amazon order you make if you pay in crypto bitcoin or bitcoin cash. Many stores offer a premium for crypto. Places like bitrefill.com or anypayinc.com give you crypto back when you spend it.
In this series you’ll learn all about how to make money and save money using crypto in your every day life. Cut the strings tying you to money that is tracked, controlled, inflated, and seized. The future is crypto, and the power in your hands.
Episode 2: The best wallets for every day use!

Govt Sues LBRY, Endangering ALL Crypto! Mar 31, 2021

Sec just announced a lawsuit against LBRY for “selling unregistered securities.”
SEC is classing LBRY’s LBC token as a “a security”, but by their definition, almost every crypto project would also be considered a security.
They say it’s a security because it lacks sufficient utility… I literally use LBC every day, you can’t post videos on the LBRY blockchain without it.
They also say it’s a security because the blockchain is being “actively developed”. I don’t know of any tech platform that isn’t being actively developed!
Initially the SEC was giving blockchain projects a slap on the wrist, but now they’re ramping up. LBRY inc. tried to settle with them in private for 3 years, and they refused. If the SEC wins, the LBRY network would continue to run, but LBRY inc. would effectively cease to exist.
This would affect users too! Anyone who posted videos or tipped someone on LBRY would now be guilty of “trading securities without a license.”
This lawsuit puts the whole crypto industry at risk. LBRY had best win their case.

Apple vs Facebook: The Privacy Battle Mar 19, 2021

Apple's new "Tracking Transparency" feature will add a pop-up to your iPhone whenever an app wants to track you. It's to let people know when their "IDFA" system is being used.
Cybersecurity and privacy journalist Kate O'Flaherty explained to me in this latest video that the IDFA, or ID for Advertisers, is a way for iPhone apps to determine when things like advertising campaigns have been effective, by allowing the apps to monitor a user's activities across the phone. It is a more private way of tracking than cookies in browsers, but Apple says that more transparency is needed. They argue that many people don't realize this kind of tracking is going on, and that users should be made aware of it and given the option to opt out. That's why they've added this feature, and also things like privacy labels to their app store.
A great step forward for privacy!
Facebook isn't happy, because their entire business model is built on being able to track users. They're even talking about legal action on the grounds of antitrust. What will become of companies like Facebook if users decide they no longer want to be tracked?

NFTs are taking the world by storm.
A video highlight of a LeBron James dunkshot went for over $200,000.
Kings of Leon released their album as an NFT.
People are selling NFTs of their tweets.
And the most expensive NFT to date: Artwork by Beeple, which sold for over 69 million dollars!
But what is an NFT, and what's all the hype about?
I explain how blockchain and art have merged to create this phenomenon, and show you how to get involved.

Video Makers are Moving HERE! Mar 04, 2021

Many video makers are angry. Angry for being demonetized, deplatformed, or angry because major video platforms prioritize corporate content over independent creators.
Fortunately, people have alternatives, and one that is really huge right now is called Odysee. With over 20 million active monthly users, it's the hot new place to upload video content. And the technology it's base on... is decentralized.

SpaceX Spoiled The Mars Rover Landing For Me Feb 24, 2021

I watched the live Mars landing last week, excited to see a rocket touchdown, live, on the red planet.
Instead, I was underwhelmed.
The live stream only showed an animation of the landing, not the real thing, and some reaction shots from NASA personnel.
It's not that landing on Mars isn't super cool -- it is! It's just that I've been spoiled by SpaceX, who provide awesome livestreams of everything they do, and always put on such a good show.
NASA eventually came through with the goods, and shared some breathtaking visuals, so in the end I was happy.
But what a time to be alive, when I can see incredible achievements like this, and feel like they’re NOT the best we’re capable of.
Meanwhile, I'm hanging out for that first commercial flight to Mars...

Facebook BLOCKS Australians from Sharing News! Feb 19, 2021

The Australian government passed a law that would force Facebook to pay every time someone shares a news article on their platform. Facebook decided that this was not a privilege they were willing to pay for, and in response have instead blocked Australian Facebook users from sharing or viewing news content.
As a result, they have also inadvertently blocked many charities or government pages which are not news sites, which has made people very angry. It does beg the question of how they were meant to be expected to identity news sites in order to pay for them, if they couldn’t identify them to shut them down.
Is this a David Vs Goliath story with Facebook being expected to pay “their fair share”, or is this just a Goliath vs Goliath story, with the Rupert Murdoch juggernaut News Corp using the government to get money from Facebook, and small, independent journalists are just the collateral?

Tesla Buys $1.5 BILLION of BITCOIN: Price soars to 46k! Feb 09, 2021

Today the price of bitcoin exploded past 46k after Tesla announced their purchase of $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin.

"Moreover, we expect to be accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment for our products in the near future," they said.

Juggernauts like Microstrategy, Square, and Telsa are making bitcoin part of their reserve assets, as a hedge against inflation and economic instability.

This is a dramatic move, cheered by those who value financial sovereignty, and derided by those who feel it was reckless for their shareholders, and ties the stock too closely to the price of Bitcoin.

But given the TSLA stock price just after the news, the question is, which S&P500 company is next?

The MYTH about Bitcoin’s Role In Illicit Activity: DEBUNKED Jan 23, 2021

Janet Yellen was just unanimously approved by The U.S. Senate Finance Committee for Treasury secretary. She’s taking over from Mnuchin, and is so far not off to a good start regarding cryptocurrency.
Earlier this week she said that cryptocurrencies are “a particular concern” when it comes to criminal activity and terrorist financing.
“I think many [cryptocurrencies] are used, at least in a transaction sense, mainly for illicit financing."
Forbes contributor Hailey Lennon noted in a recent article that Yellen is just plain incorrect. The money laundering tool of choice is still the good old US Treasury.

Assange: The case, & the threat to Press Freedom Jan 06, 2021

The request for extradition to the United States of Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, was denied by a UK judge.
This is fantastic news, because the US wants to put Assange on trial basically for being an investigative journalist. The indictment from the DOJ against Assange is one of the single biggest threats to freedom of the press of the last decade. I explain in detail what it all means.
But the judge didn’t deny the extradition request based on freedom of the press, it was based on Assange's mental condition. The danger of journalists being persecuted for challenging power is greater than ever.
What happens to us when no dissent from the press against government is allowed anymore?
Huge shout out to Glenn Greenwald, the Freedom of the Press Foundation, and journalists like Richard Medhurst and Kevin Gosztola who have been covering this case in detail and are staunch advocates of freedom of the press.

Snowden: Bitcoin needs better privacy Dec 23, 2020

Recently Snowden was awarded the Thomas Szasz Award from the Center for Independent Thought, which was presented to him by my boss John Stossel. During the call I was able to ask Snowden about Bitcoin and the need for anonymous digital payments.
Bitcoin played an important role in the 2013 Snowden leaks: the servers that Snowden used to transfer information to journalists were paid for using bitcoin, because he didn’t want those records connected to his name.
Snowden explained to me that Bitcoin is superior to credit cards, because it's at least pseudonymous. But steps need to be taken to add privacy.
He once tweeted: "Bitcoin is great, but "if it's not private, it's not safe,"” and he said that Zcash's privacy tech makes it the most interesting Bitcoin alternative.
I asked him about all of this when we spoke.

Trump Considers Ross Ulbricht Clemency Dec 18, 2020

According to The Daily Beast this week: "Trump Is Considering Clemency for Silk Road Founder: Two sources tell The Daily Beast that the president has expressed sympathy for the situation of Ross Ulbricht, who is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole."
The attempt to get Ross’s case in front of Trump has been ongoing for the last 4 years.
Ulbricht’s court appeals were denied, so the focus for those fighting for justice on his behalf switched to presidential pardon. A petition was started on change.org, which has since garnered 367 thousand signatures.

Government vs Crypto: The Battle Begins Dec 11, 2020

The inevitable war between government and crypto is getting started.
German Finance Minister on Monday:
“We must do everything possible to make sure the currency monopoly remains in the hands of states.”
The G7 this week: "We want to regulate digital currencies."
European Central Bank President: "Stablecoins threaten monetary sovereignty.”
Between the STABLE Act, which would ensure that only banks could issue stablecoins and would make all others illegal, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin’s plan to go after crypto, and the French Finance Minister trying to fight anonymous crypto transactions, things are getting heated up.
We’ll get to see if bitcoin and other decentralized innovation can hold their own in an arms race against the most powerful entities in the world.

This bill will BAN "illegal" stablecoins! Dec 04, 2020

Yesterday a disastrous new bill was introduced to congress:
The STABLE Act, which stands for Stablecoin Tethering and Bank Licensing Enforcement.
Under the guise of "protecting people" it will require stablecoin issuers to obtain a banking charter. Meaning, only banks will be able to issue stablecoins.
They said: “Digital currencies, whose value is permanently pegged to or stabilized against a conventional currency like the dollar, pose new regulatory challenges while also represent a growing source of the market, liquidity, and credit risk.”
Indeed it does seem highly suspicious that the act seems to further entrench the interests of juggernauts like JP Morgan Chase, a bank that already has its own stablecoin, to the detriment of those who are looking for alternatives to the banking system rather than forced participation in it.

Gag Orders! What these companies CAN'T tell you Dec 01, 2020

Many companies are forced to hand over customer data, or weaken their security, and they can’t tell you about it. The FBI has a thing called a National Security Letter, which is a request for information and gag orders rolled into one. Although judges have ruled them to be unconstitutional, they are more common than you realize, and each branch and agency in the US government has something similar.
Recipients of the letter are forced to comply with requests, whether they be weakening security or handing over data, and companies face serious criminal sanctions if they publicly discuss what is being done to their company. You can’t even tell anyone you received a National Security Letter.
The letter from the FBI is signed by an attorney, and you can’t even tell a lawyer about it.
How many platforms that we use, which we think are secure and private, are under gag orders? Probably a lot more than we think. One tool that privacy platforms use to warn people if their site has been compromised is a “warrant canary”. They’re not ideal, because they rely on people knowing about them, noticing when they’re taken down, and drawing the right conclusions from that, but they’re still probably the best tool we have.
Let me know of any sites you’ve found that still have warren canaries, or any that have been used effectively.

Mnuchin’s DISASTROUS Crypto Regulation Nov 27, 2020

Treasury Secretary Mnuchin plans to rush out new regulation regarding self-hosted crypto wallets before the end of his term.
Apparently the proposed regulation would “require financial institutions like Coinbase to verify the recipient/owner of the self-hosted wallet, collecting identifying information on that party, before a withdrawal could be sent to that self-hosted wallet” according to Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong
So what would this ruling mean? Don’t want to have to KYC a store before buying groceries? Want to participate in DeFi? Then move your money out of financial institutions and into non-custodial wallets. Remember: not your keys, not your coins.
Happy thanksgiving everyone!

$1 Billion Bitcoin Seized: “Modern-Day Robin Hood” Responsible? Nov 13, 2020

Last week, $1 billion of bitcoin was seized by the DOJ, money that a hacker allegedly stole from the Silk Road in 2012.
The hacker's lawyer calls him a "modern-day Robin Hood".
But a couple of things to keep in mind:
1) The Hacker was most likely coerced to hand over the keys under heavy duress
2) The money was given to the DOJ so that they can continue their war on p̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶ drugs, sending non-violent people to jail. Possibly the least noble use of the money I can think of.
And I still have a LOT of questions about what actually took place.

Binance hacked! 7000 BTC Stolen May 06, 2019

Just announced, Binance was hacked today, 7000 BTC stolen, which is around $40 mil.Earlier today CZ tweeted:"Have to perform some unscheduled server maintenance that will impact deposits and withdrawals for a couple hours. No need to FUD. Funds are #safu."Then 5 hours later this security breach update was released:https://binance.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028031711-Binance-Security-Breach-Update"We have discovered a large scale security breach today, May 7, 2019 at 17:15:24. Hackers were able to obtain a large number of user API keys, 2FA codes, and potentially other info. ...The hackers were able to withdraw 7000 BTC ...The above transaction is the only affected transaction. It impacted our BTC hot wallet only (which contained about 2% of our total BTC holdings). All of our other wallets are secure and unharmed."Binance will cover these funds with their "SAFU fund" that was set up last year as a security measure for emergency situations like this.Withdrawals and deposits will be frozen for 1 week, but trading will continue. As a show of support, Justin Sun has offered 7000BTC in USDT to cover Binance if needed, but it seems like the SAFU fund has things in hand.Will update you with more details as they become available!To watch the video version of the segment, visit:https://youtu.be/VsihQAQCq1Q

Julian Assange Arrested: Freedom of Press, Bitcoin and Wikileaks Apr 10, 2019

This morning Julian Assange was dragged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and arrested in relation to a US extradition request for "conspiracy with Chelsea Manning".The allegation is that Assange tried and failed to help crack a password, and this is an allegation for which the Obama administration tried to find evidence for many years, without success. Snowden remarked "The weakness of the US charge against Assange is shocking", and previously Obama's DOJ refused to charge the same count, saying it endangered journalism. The DOJ has justified the prosecution of Assange by saying that his request for "more information" from Manning was criminal. That is what journalism is: asking for information from your sources. This is literally the criminalization of journalism. The only news outlet that captured Assange being dragged out of the embassy this morning was Ruptly, a subsidiary of RT. It is "inconvenient" that all other outlets left 2 days ago, and also "inconvenient" that Ruptly could not post the video live, because apparently their transmission line to their van was inexplicably cut. As Snowden says:"Images of Ecuador's ambassador inviting the UK's secret police into the embassy to drag a publisher of--like it or not--award-winning journalism out of the building are going to end up in the history books. Assange's critics may cheer, but this is a dark moment for press freedom."Indeed, today is a dark day for freedom of the press.

Does Bitcoin's Fungibility Mean Paying More Taxes? Jan 09, 2019

All currencies work as if the tokens of money in circulation are interchangeable with one another. This fungibility means a dollar is always worth another dollar. Bitcoin is no different. However, money can also act like a unique and discrete asset. A coin’s rarity, age, or its easiness to spend can gain or lose it additional value. These opposing sides come into conflict when capital gains tax is applied to a sale of a coin and how a seller must pay a percent of the profits to the government. In this video, I explain how if tax laws assess bitcoin as fungible it could mean paying higher taxes than if it’s a commodity.

What Does The SEC Really Think About Cryptocurrency? Dec 01, 2018

On Tuesday, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton reiterated his strict stance on digital currency ETFs, citing fears over theft and market manipulation.Speaking at New York’s Consensus Invest conference, Clayton emphasized that he would not be comfortable with a bitcoin ETF until he saw better market surveillance and custody for cryptocurrencies."We've seen some thefts around digital assets that make you scratch your head," said Clayton. "We care that the assets underlying that ETF have good custody and that they're not going to disappear."The Chairman’s skepticism is not surprising, given that the SEC has repeatedly rejected crypto-ETF bids in the past. Custody concerns, and worries about the potential of market manipulation have been offered as reasons for rejections in the past, but not everyone at the SEC is in agreement about these rejections. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce criticized the agency’s disapproval of a Winklevoss-backed bitcoin ETF back in August. There is also concern in the crypto-community about the lack of clarity provided by the SEC regarding what does and doesn’t constitute a security. Back in 2017 the SEC announced that the tokens issued by the “Decentralized Autonomous Organization” – The DAO – were securities, and then commented that Ethereum was not. These definitions were later put on shaky ground when Clayton remarked that that while SEC employees are authorized to provide guidance to industry stakeholders on how regulations apply to specific circumstances, this guidance is nonbinding and creates “no enforceable legal rights.” Many were hoping to gain some clarity with Clayton’s remarks at the conference, but he was quick to point out at the beginning, “these views are my own, and do not represent the SEC”. He further avoided questions throughout the discussion, and when pressed about how to classify XRP – a controversial and popular cryptocurrency -- Clayton declined to answer.One thing that is clear, however, is that the SEC is going to continue to continue to aggressively pursue any company that they deem to be skirting SEC regulations.In an interview immediately following his conference appearance, Clayton said: “This technology that we’re talking about today is a powerful technology. But if you’re going to raise money in America, you need to follow our securities laws.”He added, “The defense ‘I didn’t know’ is no longer really viable.

How Australia Plans To Ban Encryption Nov 28, 2018

Would you be willing to hand your phone code and password over to a government agent if asked? How would you feel about everything on you phone and computer being monitored regardless?Australia plans to take Government Surveillance to the next level, banning encryption and putting back doors in devices so that they have access to every text, email, document, and photograph on everyone's devices. This isn't just problematic for Australians, as Australia is part of the "5 eyes", meaning that now the USA, Canada, Great Britain, and NZ will all have access to this information also.I talk to Cryptography expert Perry Metzger, and popular cryptography podcaster Patrick Gray about what is happening in Australia right now.If you liked this, please subscribe to my YouTube Channel!YouTube.com/NaomiBrockwellTVIf you would like to support my podcast on Patreon, please visit:Patreon.com/NaomiBrockwellFor any links mentioned in this podcast, please visit NaomiBrockwell.tv

Start-up Nation — Israel's Economic Miracle Oct 20, 2018

Israel is known as "startup nation". That's because "Israel has the highest concentration of startups per capita in the entire world," says David Blumberg of Blumberg Capital. I went to Israel to find out why, and interviewed Blumberg for Stossel TV.Blumberg tell me, Israel took "advice of economists from the University of Chicago, MIT, following in the Milton Friedman school of thought ... [they] basically said 'Israel you have to free the entrepreneurs'." So Israel got "rid of taxes and tariffs and stupid red tape," according to Blumberg. The result was creation of remarkable wealth and opportunity for people in that tiny country.If you liked this, please subscribe to my YouTube Channel!YouTube.com/NaomiBrockwellTVIf you would like to support my podcast on Patreon, please visit:Patreon.com/NaomiBrockwellFor any links mentioned in this podcast, please visit NaomiBrockwell.tv

Junk Forensics Ruining Innocent Lives: Radley Balko Sep 22, 2018

Advances in technology, such as DNA testing, have changed the way that crimes are solved. DNA technology can not only help prove when people are guilty of crimes, but also prove when innocent people have been wrongfully convicted. Finding patterns in wrongful convictions has also uncovered huge corruption within law enforcement. Washington Post Journalist and winner of the 2017 Bastiat Award, Radley Balko, writes about criminal justice, the drug war, and civil liberties, and he recently wrote "The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist: A True Story of Injustice in the American South": a book detailing a shocking and deeply reported account of the persistent plague of junk forensic science in our criminal justice system, and its devastating effect on innocent lives.I chatted to Radley about this at the Freecoast Festival.

Bitcoin in Switzerland Sep 12, 2018

There might be something special about Switzerland that attracts so many blockchain startups to the country.During 2017, Swiss-based ICOs raised about $550 million in funding, which was about 14 percent of the global ICO market.Zug Switzerland is known as "Crypto Valley" and home to over 50 blockchain startups despite its small population of less than 30000 people. Davos Switzerland is renowned for hosting the World Economic Forum each year, and this year for the first time there was a really strong crypto presence there thanks to the team from DecentraNet.

Seeing as the Bitcoin and Taylor Swift markets don't exactly coincide at the moment, I thought it would be a great opportunity to ask people what they know about crypto, and what it would take for them to get involved.If you liked this, please subscribe to my YouTube Channel!YouTube.com/NaomiBrockwellTVIf you would like to support my podcast on Patreon, please visit:Patreon.com/NaomiBrockwellFor any links mentioned in this podcast, please visit NaomiBrockwell.tv

At the Satoshi Roundtable in Cancun this year I got to sit down with the amazing Ron Paul and discuss why cryptocurrency is important.

Blockchain to Revolutionize Travel? Jan 20, 2018

Recently in Kyiv I met an awesome company called "Winding Tree" that is disrupting the 7 trillion dollar travel industry using blockchain. In online travel today, a few companies have a stronghold over the industry, and this raises costs and makes it really hard for innovation in the space. But perhaps Blockchain is the solution to this problem: decentralize the information and allow innovation to flourish.That's what Winding Tree is doing, a company that is already in partnership with Lufthansa, Austrian, Air New Zealand, Eurowings, Swiss, Brussels Airlines, and Nordic Choice Hotels.I chatted to them about their plans and about why they believe decentralization in this industry is important.
