NBTV: Your Money, Your Data, Your Life

https://youtu.be/NtXRkKs_PA8https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Youtube-alternative-apps:3When you want to watch videos on your phone, you're probably using an app whose dual role behind the scenes is to gather as much information about you as it can. It observes all of your actions, and adds all this information to a database about you that it shares with thousands of other companies. Why not use a more private video-streaming app?In this video we explore alternatives, and explain how each works.00:00 Intro01:00 Overview01:10 Data Collection04:27 Important Disclaimer!04:58 NewPipe09:38 LibreTube10:36 LBRY/Odysee13:39 TryLBRY App13:49 ConclusionWe have the power to choose how much of our digital self we share and who has access to that information. Privacy isn't about hiding — it's about choosing what to share, when, where, and with whom. Choose apps that protect your personal data, and cast a vote for a more privacy-conscious internet.Brought to you by NBTV team members: Reuben Yap, Lee Rennie, Sam Ettaro, Will Sandoval, Cube Boy, and Naomi BrockwellTo support NBTV, visit https://www.nbtv.media/support(tax-deductible in the US)NBTV's new eBook out now!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.

If you’re on Android you probably get all your apps from the Google Play Store, and if you’re on iOS you get your apps from the Apple App store.

https://youtu.be/oyekPpdjAaUhttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Assange:9cJulian Assange, creator of Wikileaks, is an activist who has dedicated his life to exposing the lies and corruption of some of the most powerful governments on earth. He’s been honored with countless prestigious journalism awards, yet he languishes in prison under horrendous conditions, vilified as an enemy of the state. It’s hard for the average person to know what to think about Assange, because for over a decade his actions have been shrouded in a fog of conflicting narratives and media portrayals -- That is by design.In this video we’ll expose 6 lies about Assange that have been deliberately used to distract us from what is one of the most important precedent-setting cases for freedom of speech of our generation. If there’s one thing you should take away from this, it’s that most of what you think you know about Assange is false.00:00 Intro03:03 Recap of Assange’s Case05:40 Lie #1: Unredacted Document Dump09:19 Lie #2: People Were Hurt10:49 Lie #3: Hacked into Government Computers16:10 Lie #4: Not a Real Journalist16:48 Lie #5: “He’ll Be Safe”17:55 Lie #6: Reasons for Leaving the Embassy20:50 Assange is a Political Prisoner21:44 Journalism is in Jeopardy22:46 What Can You Do?This case represents a critical juncture for the future of press freedom. It doesn’t matter whether you like Assange or not, or whether you’ve bought into the mainstream narratives against him. You should be very worried about the fate of journalism around the world. It is time to recognize the stakes at hand and demand an end to this ordeal. Free Assange, and in doing so, protect the future of press freedom.Special thanks to Assange's Father and Brother, John and Gabriel Shipton, for their fight.
