This will change the fabric of society...
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.
