Criminalizing Privacy (Al Jazeera Interview)

https://youtu.be/wcKtnnzsQGkhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/content-moderation:9In this interview from Al Jazeera on October 16th, 2024; I discuss the current state of global privacy legislation, ways that we can encourage free speech without censorship, and strategies for the future of privacy around the world.00:00 We Are Getting to a Real Scary Place00:30 Setting Scary Precedents Against Privacy03:17 Striking a Balance05:54 The Future of Privacy is Up the UsersIn an era where the web has converged on just a handful major companies that wield immense control over speech, we are seeing many independent voices drowned out. Instead of suppressing ideas, we can actually call out bad ideas for what they are and we can provide counterpoints. The best way to conquer bad ideas is with better ideas, not by suppressing ideas.Link to full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa1c16uTJVQBrought to you by NBTV team members: Lee Rennie, 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.

The Spyware Governments Use to Silence Dissent

https://youtu.be/07-IsfTMujohttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Pegasus:d7Journalists, activists, and human rights defenders are being targeted and silenced daily by authoritarian governments that fear losing power. One of the deadliest tools used against them is Pegasus—a powerful cyber-surveillance weapon that puts lives at risk.In this interview, I sit down with Laurent Richard, founder of Forbidden Stories and co-author of Pegasus. His team broke the story on Pegasus spyware and built a global network to safeguard journalists working on dangerous stories. Learn how Pegasus operates, the fight to protect freedom of the press, and how we can combat digital surveillance before it’s too late.00:00 CyberSurveillance is a Military Weapon01:19 Forbidden Stories04:28 Global Spyware Threat05:17 How Forbidden Stories Broke The Pegasus Story15:40 The Danger of Intelligence Spyware22:59 Privacy is Essential for Democracy26:09 How to Begin Change29:55 CyberSurveillance Needs Regulation32:39 This is Where We Are34:47 Governments Have a Vested Interest in Spyware39:44 Hope Remains43:04 There is a Lot to Do47:37 The Safe Box Network52:20 ConclusionCyber surveillance is a military weapon wielded against civilians, actually putting human lives in danger. We must protect journalists, activists, dissidents, and all vulnerable individuals from powerful, corrupt organizations as they risk everything to expose the truth.

It's Time To Uncover Who They Are

https://youtu.be/0PbL1GeClQIhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Surveillance-watch:2The surveillance industry operates by design in a shrouded, opaque manner. It's intentionally difficult for the public to understand the vast and intricate network of companies, subsidiaries,partnerships, affiliations, and even the financial backers of data brokers and surveillance-as-a-service companies. I chat with the creator of Surveillance Watch, an activist from Bahrain whose website is a mammoth effort to lift the veil on this industry, revealing the names and connections of clandestine entities, how they are funded, and which countries are using their services.00:00 Data is Being Weaponized Against Absolutely Everyone02:46 Why Surveillance Watch was Created03:58 The Shroud of Secrecy09:26  Overview of the Surveillance Capitalism Industry14:31  Why People Should be Concerned21:06 Long Term Considerations23:03 Testimonial24:09 It Is Not Too Late to Change Online Habits27:24 A Society of Orwellian Double-Speak29:35 Privacy is Not Just About You33:38 The Chilling Effect of Pervasive Surveillance39:54 Explaining the Reality of Threat Levels46:08 It Is Naive to Dismiss Privacy47:38 Your Data WILL Fall Into The Wrong Hands50:46 Explore the Surveillance Watch Website51:53 Submit to Surveillance WatchThe Public is only just starting to understand how deep all of this goes, which is why sites like Surveillance Watch are so vital.

Can Democracy Survive Without Privacy?

https://youtu.be/NciVkd6ddPohttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Zimmermann:fIn the early 90s, Phil Zimmermann, the godfather of privacy, released a groundbreaking encryption program called Pretty Good Privacy, or PGP. This software allowed people to protect their email communications with robust encryption. The government then investigated Phil for 3 years, claiming that by spreading PGP around the world as free encryption software, he was engaging in munitions trafficking and jeopardizing U.S. national security.The battle goes down in history as the first Crypto Wars, against encryption, and it was waged by people all over the world who believed that privacy was a fundamental right.PGP became the most widely used email encryption software in the world. And thanks to his effort to make sure encryption tools remain available to the public, we now have the ability to protect our privacy.But once again we find ourselves in another crypto war, with governments around the globe once again trying to undermine privacy.I chat with Phil about why he created PGP, the current state of global surveillance, and why we must fight for the future of privacy.00:00 Governments Live in a Golden Age of Surveillance00:58 Phil Zimmerman Introduction02:34 Phil’s Motivation for Creating PGP05:19 What’s at Stake if Government Abolishes Privacy10:50 The Risk of Not Standing Our Ground14:04 Surviving in a World Where Government Policy is Anti-Privacy15:15 How to Create a Groundswell Movement16:14 Highlighting Shifting Baselines18:40 We Need to Obtain and Use Privacy Tools NOW19:43 Governments are Pressuring Companies20:18 Phil’s Parting Words of Advice22:08 Policy vs ActionEverything that we do is surveilled and it’s not clear that democracy can survive governments having this level of omniscience. However, hope is not lost. By obtaining and using privacy tools now, we can preserve our right to privacy, and make a stand before it’s too late.Special thanks to Phil Zimmerman, a true hero of the privacy space!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)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.

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.

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.
