NBTV: Your Money, Your Data, Your Life

https://youtu.be/n_kTzu8NEyghttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Back-up-Photos-privately:7Photos these days usually stay in digital form. Sometimes we back them up to the cloud for safekeeping: but who is getting access to your sensitive images when you do so? In this video we look at the built-in photo backup options on iPhone and Android, and how private they really are. We also explore more private backup solutions, and how to set them up to happen automatically so that you never have to worry about losing your precious memories ever again. There are some really simple solutions that don’t require any technical skill. 00:00 Who ELSE has access to your private photos00:55 iPhone Default Backups02:31 Android Default Backups03:13 Graphene Default Backups04:35 Proton Photos05:42 Self Hosting Photo Backups07:49 Synology11:11 Nextcloud13:09 SummaryDigital memories have become a central part of our lives.

https://youtu.be/rOtMGJVp2MUhttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/decentralized-storage:6We put a lot of trust in cloud storage providers, presuming that they’ll keep our data safe. But what if they're hacked? Or their servers go down? Or what if they decide to just kick us out of our accounts, and we lose all our emails, files, contacts, photos...There's another big problem with centralizing all our storage on a single platform: it turns out the whole world is doing it. Most of the world's data is stored by just 3 companies: Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. In this video we’re going to talk about how a handful of companies came to control most of the world’s data, how this could put our data in danger and make censorship easier, and we’ll explore the new world of decentralized storage, allowing control of the internet to be distributed back to individuals.00:00  The BIG problem with Cloud Storage02:11 The Move Towards Centralized Storage04:13 Risks of Data Centralization07:40 Decentralized Storage Options10:27 The DJ and the War Crimes11:44 Conclusion13:19 WTFWe need to make sure that we are protecting our from loss and censorship. Decentralized storage allows us to return to the ideals of the early internet, that promised a connected world where information flows freely.Special Thanks to Adam Rose and Matt Hamilton for lending their time and expertise!Brought to you by NBTV team members: Lee Rennie, Cube Boy, Sam Ettaro, Will Sandoval and Naomi BrockwellTo support NBTV, visit https://www.nbtv.media/support(tax-deductible in the US)NBTV's new eBook out now!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.

https://youtu.be/eR7D6Fx0fTQhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Privacy-in-the-Digital-Age:1Many of us don't fully grasp the importance of privacy for a free society.We allow total invasion of our privacy, making a bet that we and those in power will stay on good terms, so this data will never be used against us. But as Snowden said, regimes come and go, social norms change, but that data is forever.Privacy is not a tool for criminals, as many would have you believe. It's essential for regular people, to allow them to dissent, have independent thoughts, hold people accountable without fearing retribution.In this video, we explore the crucial link between privacy and a free society, and why we must immediately fight to reclaim the narrative around privacy and surveillance. 00:00 Intro00:33 Historical Losses of Privacy01:40 Privacy Loss Happening Right Now03:11 Why Protecting Privacy NOW is Essential05:46 People Become Targets Everyday06:51 Nefarious Truth About Data Collection08:40 The Current False Narrative on Privacy09:33 What’s at Stake?10:12 What You Can Do Right Now10:41 ConclusionThe erosion of privacy is not inevitable. But we must start to care, and stop normalizing surveillance.
