    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Your phone is more than just a communication tool; it’s a powerful tracking device, and the SIM card inside is a key reason why.

    I don’t actually have a SIM card in any of my phones, and in this video I’ll explain the reasons why.

    I’ll also talk about alternative ways that you can still have connectivity on the go without a SIM in your phone, and I’ll dive into the downsides of not having a SIM in your phone.

    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.

    The holidays are upon us, and it's time to ask some SERIOUS questions:
    Why do we allow Santa to spy on us through the year to see if we're being good or bad?
    Why do we allow him to dictate the behavior of our children??

    In our final video of the year, we explore the history of Santa’s inter-generational ploy to extend his unnatural life through the collection of our data.
    We also give you suggestions for how to protect your privacy this festive season!

    https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/location-tracking:7

    Our phones are complex devices that leak our location in countless ways.

    We explain 3 essential settings for protecting your location data:
    - Airplane Mode
    - Location Services
    - WiFi

    We dive into how they work and try to demystify location tracking, hopefully leaving you with a better understanding of how to use these tools in your privacy toolbox.

    13:10 Don't throw out your devices

    Our phone can be both an ally and inadvertent foe in the modern digital landscape. There are many other settings you can toggle, depending on your apps and operating system, to help decrease how much location data you reveal, and we'll go through these in another video. This can all go a long way to helping you fortify your digital life.

    Your phone is your portal to the digital world, where all kinds of sensitive activity happens. It's important to make sure your phone isn't leaking all this information about you, and the operating system you use makes a huge difference. Android and iOS collect a huge amount of data from you, so in previous videos we've explained how to instal GrapheneOS instead.

    In this video we dive into detail about what makes Graphene great for privacy, explain how to get started and what you need to know before you even buy your phone, and walk you through how to optimize your settings to really get the most from your device.

    X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, rolled out "encrypted messages" this year!
    We explain how to use it, who is eligible, but we also dive into the nitty gritty of how this encryption has been implements, and why we don't think you should trust it for anything sensitive. There are better E2EE messaging apps out there.

    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 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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    "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
    11:57 Conclusion

    By underestimating our digital importance, we put both our privacy and security at greater risk.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
