https://youtu.be/V2WrDZnk33ghttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Strava-v6-LBRY:bFitness apps help us keep track of our health, but they're also a privacy nightmare.

Later in the series we examine:- how easy it is to hack modern cars- trackers in cars that you had no idea existed- the perverse incentives that drive companies to collect as much data about us as possible- the history of when this all started- dangers of used cars: the previous owner of your car might still have access to all your car’s remote features, tracking tools, and cameras! - how to wipe your own information and location history from your car before you sell it- how to opt out of this collection and better protect yourselfWe really need to get a conversation going around car privacy, and increase awareness. It’s so important we push back against the normalization of these practices, starting now.

But while it lifts us up, it has also become the most potent enabler of totalitarian surveillance that the world has ever seen.In this talk, I explore the privacy implications of our growing digital world, and the kind of future we are paving the way towards. I also dive into what we can do today to try to ensure a better future.00:00 The Internet's Double-Edged Sword03:33 Current State of Privacy07:46 Effects of Pervasive Surveillance18:22 The Normalization of Surveillance and its Psychological Effects25:00 Recap So Far25:34 What Can We Do TODAY for a Better Tomorrow33:54 ConclusionAs we celebrate the marvel that is the modern digital world, it’s vital we recognize the internet’s dual nature: it’s as much a beacon of enlightenment as it is a potential tool for surveillance.
