Assange: The Truth They've Been Hiding from You
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.

Microsoft Is Spying On You!
https://youtu.be/p3L7bLYz-mkhttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Libreoffice:5Microsoft's 365 Office Suite was recently banned in Germany over privacy concerns. Should you be using a more private office suite instead?Microsoft Office is one of the most used suites of programs worldwide. They have become so common that their programs have worked their way into our daily vocabulary, and they set the standards for document formats. It turns out that they collect a lot of data from their users, both when used online via their collaborative tooling, and "offline" with their downloaded software. Microsoft is also very closed lipped about the details of their data collection. We dive into a report that recently came out of Germany looking at the privacy of Microsoft. We also look at a privacy-focused office suite alternative, LibreOffice, and how it compares.00:00 Intro00:42 What is Microsoft’s Office Suite?01:37 Online vs Offline Products03:08 Connected Experiences04:27 Microsoft’s Data Collection Practices07:20 Telemetry and Diagnostic Events Explained08:52 Types of Diagnostic Data Microsoft Collects10:05 Aria11:22 LibreOffice13:48 Other recommendationsRemember, your privacy is largely in your hands, and you can choose not to use products and services that collect all your data.
