There are data breaches every single day. Former president of Cisco John Chambers once said, “there are two types of companies in the world, those that have been hacked and those that don’t yet realize they have been hacked”. We need to start taking back the narrative that these entities know what is best for our data, and our lives, or else we risk an Orwellian future we will not be able to reverse.Special Thanks to Al Jazeera and The Stream for inviting me back on the show!Watch the full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy90CrTr0i0Brought to you by NBTV team members: Lee Rennie, Cube Boy, Sam Ettaro, Will Sandoval and Naomi BrockwellNBTV is a project of the Ludlow Institute, a 501c3 non profit whose mission is to advance freedom through technology.To support NBTV, visit:https://LudlowInstitute.org/donate(As a 501(c)(3) non profit, all donations are tax-deductible in the USA as permitted by law.)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.

https://youtu.be/Hcqh0ZSza50https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/nothing-to-Hide-v7-ODYSEE-20241213-001:a“I have nothing to hide”.It’s become a default response from many to overreaching surveillance.When did privacy start being about having something to hide? It used to simply be about having the right to decide for ourselves who gets access to our data. But over the past decade we’ve lost that choice, and so much of our personal and sensitive information is shared without our knowledge or explicit consent. In this video I want to give you a list of arguments you can use in response to anyone who dismisses the importance of privacy because they “have nothing to hide”.00:00 “I Have Nothing To Hide”01:33 Privacy is About Consent02:35 Nothing to Hide, Everything to Protect04:34 Privacy is NOT Dead05:18 Your Data Is Forever06:03 It’s Not About You08:14 Uncertain Future10:10 Surveillance Stifles Creativity and Dissent11:30 Surveillance Isn’t About Criminals12:29 Your Data Puts Others at Risk14:25 You Send A Signal With Your Choices16:21 A Fight We Can’t Afford to LoseSurveillance is a weapon that is too often used to silence opposition, suppress individuality, and enforce conformity. Privacy is what allows us to think, act, and connect without fear. Without privacy, we lose the ability to dissent, to innovate, and to live freely. The next time someone says, “I have nothing to hide,” remind them of this: Privacy isn’t about hiding. It’s about protecting your rights, your choices, and your future.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)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.
