Apple's Private Relay: better than a VPN?
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 00:47 - VPNs and TOR: What are they?02:58 - How Privacy Relay Works05:03 - Apple’s Second Servers05:36 - Private Relay’s Three-fold Outcome06:15 - Pushback06:54 - My Recommendation07:49 - Privacy Comparison08:40 - SummaryPrivate relay is a significant upgrade for the average user, but there are caveats that a privacy-conscious person should be aware of.Brought to you by NBTV members: Lee Rennie, Will Sandoval, and Naomi BrockwellTo support NBTV, visit https://www.nbtv.media/support(tax-deductible in the US)Sign up for the free CryptoBeat newsletter here:https://cryptobeat.substack.com/Beware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.

EU's TERRIFYING Mass Surveillance Plan - w/ Matthew Green
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. 0:00 Pre-roll0:53 Intro2:00 The EU SILL SCAN Your Computers2:23 Matthew Green4:12 System will READ text messages between people to try to detect "grooming".7:52 "This is not voluntary."18:47 Targeting dissidents and election disinformation23:40 Apple's CSAM-scanning proposal27:38 Decentralization: "They can't win."30:55 Quiz Winner: Congratulations SpeedRacer111!32:40 Show Out and ThanksEU report:https://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/system/files/2022-05/Proposal%20for%20a%20Regulation%20laying%20down%20rules%20to%20prevent%20and%20combat%20child%20sexual%20abuse_en_0.pdfBrought to you by NBTV members: Sam Ettaro, Will Sandoval, and Naomi BrockwellTo support NBTV, visit https://www.nbtv.media/support(tax-deductible in the US)Sign up for the free CryptoBeat newsletter here:https://cryptobeat.substack.com/Beware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.

These Mental Health Apps Are A Privacy Nightmare

It was revealed today that Edward Snowden, famed whistleblower and privacy advocate, was one of the 6 participants in the Zcash "ceremony" of 2016! 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.
