The Courtenay Turner Podcast Dangerous Dames | Ep.84: Reclaiming Privacy in the Digital Age
Dangerous Dames & Privacy Academy's Glenn Meder Expose the Three Biggest Threats and Deliver Simple, Powerful Steps to Protect Yourself
In this practical, no-fluff episode of Dangerous Dames, hosts Courtenay Turner and Dr. Lee Merritt welcome Glenn Meder from Privacy Academy to break down the three core threats stealing your privacy today:
- Hackers & Scammers — always hunting your data for profit
- Big Tech — monetizing every click, search, and purchase
- Big Brother — government surveillance turning "safety" into total control
Glenn explains why these threats all want the same thing — your newest, freshest data — and why "they already have everything" is the myth keeping people complacent. He shares his story (sparked by COVID's coordinated tyranny via technology) and delivers real first steps: cover your camera and mic (with mic locks and webcam covers), stop unnecessary data leaks, and understand why even "free" tools like VPNs are only part of the puzzle.
The Dames and Glenn emphasize self-responsibility, critical thinking, parallel systems, and local action — because privacy is 21st-century self-defense.
