NBTV: Your Money, Your Data, Your Life

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 - DuckDuckGo6:56 - MetaGer8:00 - SearX9:15 - Qwant10:17 - StartPage11:57 - Mojeek13:01 - YaCy14:24 - 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!Edited by Lee RennieWritten by Reuben Yap, Will Sandoval, and Naomi BrockwellTech advisor: Reuben YapWatch this video on LBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/The-Most-PRIVATE-Search-Engine:a?r=65CZ4khtLVosPYvDbjTstVZydgm3NDF8To make a tax-deductible (in the US) donation to my channel, visit https://cointr.ee/nbtvSign 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.

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?

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.Watch the first video here: https://youtu.be/KXEe2kqiYIMWatch this video on LBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Snowden-says-dont-use-wifi-RESPONSE-VIDEO:e?r=65CZ4khtLVosPYvDbjTstVZydgm3NDF8Map site referenced: Wigle.netGreat article: https://osintcurio.us/2019/01/15/tracking-all-the-wifi-things/Huge thank you to Andy for his help with the research for this video!Edited by Lee RennieTo make a tax-deductible (in the US) donation to my channel, visit https://cointr.ee/nbtvSign up for the free cryptobeat newsletter here:https://Naomibrockwell.com/cryptobeatBeware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.

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 cashBeware of iCloudDisable SiriNEVER 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”https://amzn.to/3dGycNQWatch on Odysee:https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/anonymous-apple-products:f?r=GBKV3BnkTF8CCXcAX4Epab9vvHEgnLE1Edited by Lee RennieTo make a tax-deductible (in the US) donation to my channel, visit https://cointr.ee/nbtvSign up for the free cryptobeat newsletter here:https://Naomibrockwell.com/cryptobeatVisit website:  https://www.nbtv.media Support the show

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.Watch on Odysee: https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/most-private-email:4?r=GBKV3BnkTF8CCXcAX4Epab9vvHEgnLE1Written by Reuben YapEdited by Lee RennieTo make a tax-deductible (in the US) donation to NBTV, visit https://cointr.ee/nbtvSign up for the free CryptoBeat newsletter here: https://Naomibrockwell.com/cryptobeat Support the show
