#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.Watch my interview w/ Assange's brother as we dive into all the details:https://youtu.be/sUGj_TIIOJUhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/FULL-assange-story:c?r=3Dx6nvrKP5nquHCxyvoVHLPZYfw4ZFv4To 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.

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.Read the full investigation here:https://theintercept.com/2016/11/16/the-nsas-spy-hub-in-new-york-hidden-in-plain-sight/Laura Poitras, Henrik Moltke documentary:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOJugaGK0eU0:00   Show Preroll0:53   Naomi's Show Intro1:29  Welcome2:30  Duck Duck Go's announcement4:46   The "Brave" Alternative6:26  Brendan Eich replies to Naomi on Twitter11:55   Intro to Main Story:  The NSA's Spy Hub In The Middle of NYC13:42   Background of the building's construction14:31  "The Intercept" reports 17:01   AT&T24:45   Domestic surveillance revelations26:28  The Blarney Project30:00  What the whistleblowers revealed33:02  AT&T and NSA respond37:06  NSA spying on Americans39:50   Opt out of surveillance services43:19   Show Out and ThanksBrought 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.

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/Brought to you by NBTV members: Lee Rennie, Will Sandoval, Ogar, 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.
