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.

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.

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.

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.

https://youtu.be/FloGxOlMSyIhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Phone-Contacts:9The humble Contact List in our phone is a goldmine of data. Each contact is filled with the personal information like names, numbers, email addresses, home addresses, birthdays, work details and social media information. It’s the kind of information that data brokers salivate over because it allows unprecedented insight into consumer behavior, political leanings, and even potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The worst thing is, it's not even your information that's being taken -- When we don't protect our contacts list, it's the information that OTHERS have entrusted to us that we're sharing. In this video I talk about Contact Lists, why you might not want to store them in your phone or share them with other apps on your device, and finally I’ll talk about more private ways to store them.00:00 Your Phone Compromises Your Contacts00:28 Overview00:39 Why Contacts Lists Are Important01:51 Who Sees Our Contact List05:37 Private Ways To Store Contacts06:23 Reviewing App Permissions06:57 Third Party Contact Apps07:53 Encrypted Contact Storage08:43 Graphene: The Ultimate Solution09:57 It’s Time to Take Back Control!By disabling automatic cloud syncing, regularly reviewing and managing our apps’ contact permissions, and using privacy-focused apps and services, we can reduce the indiscriminate harvesting of our social graph.
