You Have No Medical Privacy

https://youtu.be/4sfIBRTcRpUhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/HIPAA:7Most people think that HIPAA means that their medical records are kept private. But what if I told you that HIPAA doesn’t protect your privacy at all?This is our first video in a series about medical privacy, specifically looking at legislation that stripped individuals of the right to consent to medical data sharing. We focus on what HIPAA actually is, how it came to allow our data to be shared without us even knowing, how we’ve been tricked into thinking we have privacy, and steps we can take to reclaim control of our medical data.00:00 The State of Medical Privacy is a Mess02:29 What is HIPAA07:39 How Your Data is Shared12:10 The Illusion of Privacy14:48 What Can We Do22:16 We Deserve Medical PrivacyWe deserve privacy in our medical system. Our health information is sensitive, and we should be allowed to protect it. Even while we fight for better medical privacy, please always prioritize your health.

Surveillance: The New Normal

https://youtu.be/aXhXkXcMXyMhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Fish:e28What do Fish and Privacy have in common? This video will explain. Our expectations of privacy have shifted dramatically in the past few decades. What was once considered outrageous overreach has become normal, and we've lost sight of what a healthy amount of privacy even looks like. It's called shifting-baseline syndrome, first coined in relation to fish populations. This video is based on a fantastic essay by Bruce Schneier and Barath Raghavan: We take stock of how privacy expectations have changed, and think about whether this is really the future we want to be moving towards.00:00 Privacy is Like Fish - Huh?00:38 Our Perception of Privacy04:35 Fish???05:55 Shifting Baselines08:37 Is This the Future We Want?10:43 Privacy is Like My PlantA huge thank you to Bruce Schneier and Barath Raghavan for letting us reproduce their ideas in video form.

Should You Use Fingerprint Unlock?

https://youtu.be/c0ZAPaRddfohttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Fingerprint-unlock:eShould you use fingerprint unlock on your device? The answer is not going to be the same for everyone. In this video, I look at the benefits and tradeoffs of using fingerprint readers, and try to compare the security of fingerprint unlock vs a pin or password. A major factor to consider is actually what kind of device you have. 00:00 You Asked, I Delivered!00:56 What is Fingerprint Unlock02:13 Should You Use Fingerprint Unlock03:15 Convenience Consideration04:18 Shoulder Surfing Protections04:49 Biometrics are Forever06:30 Brute Forcing12:07 Coercion14:40 SummaryFingerprints are more like usernames than passwords. They’re unique, static and identifiable as belonging to you. But Fingerprint security is also very convenient, and for many people shouldn’t be ruled out as an option. We are constantly unlocking our phones all through the day. So choose something that will be sustainable for you and is justified by your threat model, otherwise you might drive yourself insane. There is no perfect answer when it comes to phone security, so make a decision based on your unique context.Brought to you by NBTV team members: Lee Rennie, Cube Boy, Reuben Yap, Sam Ettaro, Will Sandoval and Naomi Brockwell.Thanks to the GrapheneOS team for always being super helpful!To support NBTV, visit:https://www.nbtv.media/support(tax-deductible in the US)Visit our shop!https://Shop.NBTV.mediaOur eBook "Beginner's Introduction To Privacy:https://amzn.to/3WDSfkuBeware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.

Your Phone Contacts AREN'T Private

https://youtu.be/FloGxOlMSyIhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Phone-Contacts:9The humble Contact List in our phone is a goldmine of data. Each contact is filled with the personal information like names, numbers, email addresses, home addresses, birthdays, work details and social media information. It’s the kind of information that data brokers salivate over because it allows unprecedented insight into consumer behavior, political leanings, and even potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The worst thing is, it's not even your information that's being taken -- When we don't protect our contacts list, it's the information that OTHERS have entrusted to us that we're sharing. In this video I talk about Contact Lists, why you might not want to store them in your phone or share them with other apps on your device, and finally I’ll talk about more private ways to store them.00:00 Your Phone Compromises Your Contacts00:28 Overview00:39 Why Contacts Lists Are Important01:51 Who Sees Our Contact List05:37 Private Ways To Store Contacts06:23 Reviewing App Permissions06:57 Third Party Contact Apps07:53 Encrypted Contact Storage08:43 Graphene: The Ultimate Solution09:57 It’s Time to Take Back Control!By disabling automatic cloud syncing, regularly reviewing and managing our apps’ contact permissions, and using privacy-focused apps and services, we can reduce the indiscriminate harvesting of our social graph. Our contacts deserve to be treated with the utmost care and respect.Brought to you by NBTV team members: Lee Rennie, Cube Boy, Kieran Mesquita, Reuben Yap, Sam Ettaro, Will Sandoval and Naomi BrockwellWatch all of the tutorials in our Phone Privacy Playlist HERE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt3zZ-N423gXV-0pdxnRn-nw0WzVKh4NYTo support NBTV, visit:https://www.nbtv.media/support(tax-deductible in the US)Visit our shop!https://Shop.NBTV.mediaOur eBook "Beginner's Introduction To Privacy:https://amzn.to/3WDSfkuBeware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.

They lied to you about car surveillance

https://youtu.be/pA0zYTmi5ckhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/car-privacy-part-3:1We now know that the data collection in modern cars is out of control -- The question is, how does that data even leave your car? And what, if anything, can you do to stop it?That's what we cover in this video, Part 3 of our car privacy series: SIM cards, WiFi, and OBD ports. We also talk about how companies trick us into handing over our data, things that we can do to push back against this insane overreach that we’ve somehow normalized, and the giant legal loophole for cars that makes it super easy for law enforcement to collect your data without a warrant. 00:00 Your Car Saw What You Did in the Backseat!02:57 Don't plug in ANYTHING04:41 Satellite and Bluetooth05:47 WiFi06:29 SIM Cards08:22 Find out what's going on!11:10 Shady Tactics14:38 Challenging Data Overreach16:35 Car Warrant Loophole18:00 There is HopeThere currently are no easy fixes to the problem of car surveillance.
