NBTV: Your Money, Your Data, Your Life

https://youtu.be/rtRQKQkvUfEhttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Telegram:68Telegram advertises itself as a private messaging app, and has attracted over 800 million users. But Telegram is one of the last apps I'd recommend if you're looking for private communication.In this video we explain how encryption actually works on Telegram: how it's not possible to end-to-end encrypt group chats, and how direct messages are not private by default. There are also some red flags about their encryption protocol, and how they present their overall privacy to the broader public. 00:00 Intro00:47 Group Chats01:38 One to One Messages04:25 Encryption05:54 Who Gets Access to Your Data?08:27 ConclusionGroup chats on Telegram are wildly popular. But just remember that those messages are all able to be read by Telegram, as well as anyone else who is able to get access. I don't want anyone being misled about the privacy on the platform due to impressive marketing campaigns.Best Messaging Apps:YT: https://youtu.be/rTPBqWzjuyo?si=j9-umhbiTqRrB9QmLBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/MOST-Private-Messaging-Apps:3?r=GUK6PrynXgHhu1LzZDT5WDeFDtJLbvUvWorst Messaging Apps:YT: https://youtu.be/47_3_vaUSIU?si=qrmrTyrZhJQ7wv0oLBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Worst-messaging-apps-for-privacy:a?r=GUK6PrynXgHhu1LzZDT5WDeFDtJLbvUvBrought to you by NBTV team members: Lee Rennie, Cube Boy, Sam Ettaro, Will Sandoval, Reuben Yap, 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.

They silently harvest any information they can find, by purchasing information, using trackers, scraping social media, ingesting data breaches.They compile this information into databases, and sell access so that others can sift through the most private and sensitive areas of our lives.

https://youtu.be/tIr9GfCtd9Uhttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Private-Transactions:bFinancial privacy is essential for a free society, because it allows us to support causes we believe in without fear of retribution, to flee dangerous situations without being tracked, to live our daily lives without feeling like every choice we make is on display and needs to be self-censored.How can we have a truly free society if the way we interact with the world around us is constantly monitored and controlled? But that's exactly what's going on right now. In this presentation I explain how surveillance of the traditional financial system works, and what solutions there are for reclaiming your right to financial privacy. 00:00 Financial Privacy Is Crucial for a Free Society2:22 Traditional Financial System is Controlled, Censored, and Monitored3:29 Talk Overview5:38 Everyone Is Selling Your Financial Data6:42 People Are Persecuted Because Their Payments Are Monitored8:42 History of Financial Surveillance13:02 3rd-Party Doctrine14:07 Cash17:59 Bitcoin18:40 Cryptocurrencies are NOT private!19:53 Tip #1: Use Privacy Coins26:20 Tip #2: No Pass-Through Privacy29:11 Tip #3: Break Up Patterns33:57 Tip #4: Protect Against OSINT Privacy Leaks39:23 Tip #5: Beware of Active Analysis Tricks44:55 Alternative Financial Systems ARE The Answer47:03 Audience Q&ATraditional privacy tools like cash continue to dwindle in relevance, but cryptocurrencies like privacy coins present themselves as torchbearers of financial privacy in this new digital era.But the level of privacy you get is contingent upon the choices you make -- it's not enough to use things like privacy coins, you have to know how to use them properly.Special Thanks to Zcon for inviting me to speak!Brought to you by NBTV team members: Lee Rennie, Cube Boy, 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/pURzvhYQ2FQhttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/DNS-Blocklists:3These days, trackers infiltrate nearly every webpage. Advertisements demand your attention and monitor your online movements. Your own devices and software send telemetry back to manufacturers and developers, leaking all kinds of information about your activities. DNS blocklists can help you regain control over your network traffic. They can stop your devices from ever connecting to certain data tracking sites, malicious content, or servers that collect telemetry.In this video, we explain exactly how they work, and how to set them up on your home network using the open source router and firewall software, pfSense.00:00 Intro00:53 Understanding DNS Blocklists02:32 Setting Up DNS Blocklists13:36 Note for Quad9 Users14:17 The Looming Threat15:12 ConclusionDNS blocklists and the reports they generate are a great way to become more aware of how our data is being collected and our privacy invaded without us realizing.Special Thanks to John Todd for guiding us through the tutorial process!More information about Quad9:https://quad9.net/Brought to you by NBTV team members: Lee Rennie, Sam Ettaro, Cube Boy, 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/MBBOjf7fLrchttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/The-erosion-of-privacy-and-its-consequences:3Privacy is assaulted in broad daylight and everything we do is recorded with an unforgiving permanence. We trade away our private data for services and conveniences -- not realizing that the government has become party to every agreement we enter into. Due to the 3rd-Party Doctrine, we have no reasonable expectation of privacy in the digital age. The government uses this loophole to purchase data from brokers, completely evading the boundaries established by the 4th amendment.This invasion into our lives has become completely normalized.Even if we don't value privacy ourselves, by not standing up for privacy we actually hurt the most vulnerable in society.In this video I talk about the very real horrors that have occurred throughout history when surveillance becomes a tool for oppression, stripping away the freedoms of the people, and changing the fabric of society. I explain why this is where we are heading. I also explain some simple steps you can take TODAY tell you what steps you can take TODAY to protect yourself.00:00 Terrifying Poll: Yes, you're complicit too!04:31 1984 is NOW07:02 Government Data Collection16:21 Modern Dystopian Governments23:26 Historical Losses of Civil Liberties26:00 Surveillance Today31:29 Free Speech is in Danger34:01 What Can We Do?38:26 Privacy Tools43:28 ConclusionIt’s essential that we start to reclaim the narrative and remind people that privacy is crucial for a free society.

https://youtu.be/NtXRkKs_PA8https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Youtube-alternative-apps:3When you want to watch videos on your phone, you're probably using an app whose dual role behind the scenes is to gather as much information about you as it can. It observes all of your actions, and adds all this information to a database about you that it shares with thousands of other companies. Why not use a more private video-streaming app?In this video we explore alternatives, and explain how each works.00:00 Intro01:00 Overview01:10 Data Collection04:27 Important Disclaimer!04:58 NewPipe09:38 LibreTube10:36 LBRY/Odysee13:39 TryLBRY App13:49 ConclusionWe have the power to choose how much of our digital self we share and who has access to that information.

https://youtu.be/xAo61IaXun8https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/encrypted-DNS:dWe presume what we search for on the internet stays private. But you might be leaking all of your internet activity through something called a DNS request. It's possible that every site you want to visit is being collected and sold by your ISP, or monitored by countless other entities.In this video we review what DNS is, and explain how to encrypt your DNS requests, to stop unwanted snooping on your internet activity.00:00 Intro00:45 Overview00:53 What is DNS?03:48 Protecting Your DNS?07:31 Setting Up Encrypted DNS07:56 Tutorial09:55 ConclusionProtecting DNS privacy should be a part of everyone's online safety practices. We want to be able to navigate the internet safely and with the peace of mind that not everything we're doing is under constant surveillance. As always, we have no partnership with Quad9 or any other company, we just like to spread awareness of tools that we think will help people preserve their rights online.
