EU's TERRIFYING Mass Surveillance Plan - w/ Matthew Green
A leaked document from the EU, proposing new regulation, describes the most sophisticated mass surveillance machinery ever deployed outside of China and the USSR.The proposal is for a new mass surveillance system that will read private text messages, not to detect CSAM, but to detect “grooming”.It would mandate scanning of encrypted messages for CSAM material.Once you open up “machines reading your text messages” for any purpose, there are no limits.Matthew Green, renowned security expert and cryptography professor, says:"Let me be clear what that means: to detect 'grooming' is not simply searching for known CSAM. It isn’t using AI to detect new CSAM, which is also on the table.It’s running algorithms reading your actual text messages to figure out what you’re saying, at scale."Matthew and I dive into everything you need to know. 0:00 Pre-roll0:53 Intro2:00 The EU SILL SCAN Your Computers2:23 Matthew Green4:12 System will READ text messages between people to try to detect "grooming".7:52 "This is not voluntary."18:47 Targeting dissidents and election disinformation23:40 Apple's CSAM-scanning proposal27:38 Decentralization: "They can't win."30:55 Quiz Winner: Congratulations SpeedRacer111!32:40 Show Out and ThanksEU report:https://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/system/files/2022-05/Proposal%20for%20a%20Regulation%20laying%20down%20rules%20to%20prevent%20and%20combat%20child%20sexual%20abuse_en_0.pdfBrought to you by NBTV members: Sam Ettaro, Will Sandoval, and Naomi BrockwellTo support NBTV, visit https://www.nbtv.media/support(tax-deductible in the US)Sign up for the free CryptoBeat newsletter here:https://cryptobeat.substack.com/Beware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.

These Mental Health Apps Are A Privacy Nightmare
Before downloading an app do you check the privacy policy and encryption practices it uses for your data? Luckily Mozilla checks for you. They just updated their "Privacy Not Included" guide that tells you everything you need to know about whether an app is trustworthy or not. And it turns out that a whole lot of meditation and prayer apps have... CONCERNING data practices.
