As we rushed into the Web 2 era, privacy was left behind. There was a naive view that users could consent to something that was impossible to understand. The result was tracking and monitoring of every activity.
I chatted to Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript, Co-Founder of Brave, and the Co-founder of Mozilla. We talk about how the privacy landscape evolved on the internet, and the future of our technology-driven world.

In this interview from Al Jazeera on October 16th, 2024; I discuss the current state of global privacy legislation, ways that we can encourage free speech without censorship, and strategies for the future of privacy around the world.
00:00 We Are Getting to a Real Scary Place
00:30 Setting Scary Precedents Against Privacy
03:17 Striking a Balance
05:54 The Future of Privacy is Up the Users
In an era where the web has converged on just a handful major companies that wield immense control over speech, we are seeing many independent voices drowned out. Instead of suppressing ideas, we can actually call out bad ideas for what they are and we can provide counterpoints. The best way to conquer bad ideas is with better ideas, not by suppressing ideas.

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Pegasus:d7
Journalists, activists, and human rights defenders are being targeted and silenced daily by authoritarian governments that fear losing power. One of the deadliest tools used against them is Pegasus—a powerful cyber-surveillance weapon that puts lives at risk.
In this interview, I sit down with Laurent Richard, founder of Forbidden Stories and co-author of Pegasus. His team broke the story on Pegasus spyware and built a global network to safeguard journalists working on dangerous stories. Learn how Pegasus operates, the fight to protect freedom of the press, and how we can combat digital surveillance before it’s too late.

34:47 Governments Have a Vested Interest in Spyware
39:44 Hope Remains
43:04 There is a Lot to Do
47:37 The Safe Box Network
52:20 Conclusion
Cyber surveillance is a military weapon wielded against civilians, actually putting human lives in danger. We must protect journalists, activists, dissidents, and all vulnerable individuals from powerful, corrupt organizations as they risk everything to expose the truth. Together, we must signal to the world that we demand a future where technology serves us—free from the fear of surveillance.
Special Thanks to Laurent Richard

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Surveillance-watch:2
The surveillance industry operates by design in a shrouded, opaque manner. It's intentionally difficult for the public to understand the vast and intricate network of companies, subsidiaries,
partnerships, affiliations, and even the financial backers of data brokers and surveillance-as-a-service companies.
I chat with the creator of Surveillance Watch, an activist from Bahrain whose website is a mammoth effort to lift the veil on this industry, revealing the names and connections of clandestine entities, how they are funded, and which countries are using their services.

46:08 It Is Naive to Dismiss Privacy
47:38 Your Data WILL Fall Into The Wrong Hands
50:46 Explore the Surveillance Watch Website
51:53 Submit to Surveillance Watch
The Public is only just starting to understand how deep all of this goes, which is why sites like Surveillance Watch are so vital. It’s an incredibly important tool to help people map out the surveillance apparatus in a way that they can really understand.

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Zimmermann:f
In 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 Surveillance
00:58 Phil Zimmerman Introduction
02:34 Phil’s Motivation for Creating PGP
05:19 What’s at Stake if Government Abolishes Privacy
10:50 The Risk of Not Standing Our Ground
14:04 Surviving in a World Where Government Policy is Anti-Privacy
15:15 How to Create a Groundswell Movement
16:14 Highlighting Shifting Baselines
18:40 We Need to Obtain and Use Privacy Tools NOW
19:43 Governments are Pressuring Companies
20:18 Phil’s Parting Words of Advice
22:08 Policy vs Action
Everything 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!

AI is already deeply integrated into our daily digital activities, whether we realize it or not, but it's a double-edged sword: On the one hand it can skyrocket our productivity and skillset. On the other, there are often serious privacy concerns to using it.
Do you want to be able to use AI tools, without worrying that companies are collecting everything you're doing? In this video, I talk to two experts working on the privacy side of AI. We discuss the privacy risks of using AI, and how to protect ourselves -- exploring some of the most private platforms and looking at best practices.

Especially in an age of AI, we need to be more mindful than ever of the consequences of leaking all of our data in online interactions. Luckily there are plenty of ways we can better protect our privacy. Including by making privacy-conscious choices when we use AI tools themselves. Caring about privacy doesn’t mean we have to give up modern technology. Even privacy-conscious people can enjoy AI tools in their lives!

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/disappearing-messages:5
In today’s digital world, nothing is truly secure. Imagine waking up to find that a hacker had posted every conversation you’ve ever had online. We don't need to keep a permanent trail of all of our digital conversations, that could be hacked at any time, and there are deep psychological effects when we do so.
In this video, I make a case for using disappearing messages.
00:00 Imagine THIS Nightmare
01:48 Your Messages Are At Risk
03:14 Damage of Exposure
06:39 Psychological Impact

12:44 Tips and Best Practices
14:53 Conclusion
Whether we’re safeguarding sensitive information, limiting our exposure, or simply reducing the clutter of our digital lives, turning on disappearing messages is a small change with significant impact. Disappearing messages are a great tool in your privacy toolbox for this increasingly permanent digital age.

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/HIPAA:7
Most 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 Mess
02:29 What is HIPAA
07:39 How Your Data is Shared
12:10 The Illusion of Privacy
14:48 What Can We Do
22:16 We Deserve Medical Privacy
We deserve privacy in our medical system. Our health information is sensitive, and we should be allowed to protect it. Even while we fight for better medical privacy, please always prioritize your health.
Special Thanks to: Twila Brase, Rob Frommer, and Keith Smith for chatting to us!

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Fish:e28
What 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 Privacy
04:35 Fish???
05:55 Shifting Baselines
08:37 Is This the Future We Want?
10:43 Privacy is Like My Plant

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/ditch-sms:1
Most of our conversations are digital, and our privacy hinges on our ability to convince others to use a private messaging platform. Getting friends and family to switch isn't easy though!
Here are some strategies you can try, ranging from educational methods, to downright sneakiness!
00:00 We have all decided to never answer our phone again
02:12 Its Easy
02:47 Privacy Leaks
04:29 Response Delay
05:45 Missed Connection
06:37 Daily Reward
08:35 App-Switching Fatigue
09:10 It’s Worth the Effort
Convincing people to switch to a more private messaging app can be tough, but it’s definitely not something you should give up on. Persistence and patience are key. By encouraging better habits you really are making a more private world, starting in your own backyard.
We got all our suggestions from Michael Bazzell's book, "Extreme Privacy":

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Fingerprint-unlock:e
Should 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 Unlock
02:13 Should You Use Fingerprint Unlock
03:15 Convenience Consideration
04:18 Shoulder Surfing Protections
04:49 Biometrics are Forever
06:30 Brute Forcing
12:07 Coercion
14:40 Summary
Fingerprints 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.

Our devices contain a treasure trove of private information. We have sensitive work documents, cherished family photos, archives of private communications. You can keep these digital files safe by using encrypted containers, which are secure digital vaults that will help keep your data private. In this video, we explain how use the free, open source encryption program VeraCrypt.

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Phone-Contacts:9
The 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 Contacts
00:28 Overview
00:39 Why Contacts Lists Are Important
01:51 Who Sees Our Contact List
05:37 Private Ways To Store Contacts
06:23 Reviewing App Permissions
06:57 Third Party Contact Apps
07:53 Encrypted Contact Storage
08:43 Graphene: The Ultimate Solution
09:57 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. Our contacts deserve to be treated with the utmost care and respect.

We now know that the data collection in modern cars is out of control -- The question is, how does that data even leave your car? And what, if anything, can you do to stop it?
That's what we cover in this video, Part 3 of our car privacy series: SIM cards, WiFi, and OBD ports.
We also talk about how companies trick us into handing over our data, things that we can do to push back against this insane overreach that we’ve somehow normalized, and the giant legal loophole for cars that makes it super easy for law enforcement to collect your data without a warrant.

Did you know that apps on your phone can see which other apps you have installed? And that apps can talk to each other and share information, without you realizing?
In this video we show you how to stop apps communicating with each other, and look at the scoped storage and sandboxing of apps in GrapheneOS, and what it does and doesn't protect against.

Cars are no longer dumb machines -- They're smart devices with hundreds of computers bolted on top that collect information about our activities. Some car companies have even explicitly said in their privacy policies that they collect information about your sexual activity!
Given that so much information is stored in our car, what happens when we sell it? Do we just hand this sensitive information off to the next owner? And given the remote capabilities of modern cars, how do we make sure the previous owner can't still access our data when we buy a used car?

Thanks to powerful marketing, privacy is something we’ve come to immediately associate with Apple. But your iCloud is probably NOT as private as you think.
Last year, Apple added E2EE for iCloud backups, with a tool called "Advanced Data Protection”. This setting means that your documents, photos, and other personal information in iCloud are kept private and out of the reach of even Apple itself.
BUT, this setting is NOT turned on by default.
Unless you have specifically turned on the setting, and set backup users or codes, everything in your iCloud can be read by Apple. And regardless of whether Advanced Data Protection is enabled, some things in the Apple ecosystem are never E2EE, and it's important to know what they are.
In this video we explain exactly what is being protected with Advanced Data Protection, how to turn it on, its limitations, and other options that you might use for your backups instead.

01:49 Advanced Data Protection Explained
02:37 Set Up
04:34 Limitations
05:48 Alternative Backup Options
06:52 Summary
Don’t presume that your iPhone is more private than it actually is. If you use Apple's iCloud, absolutely make sure that you have Advanced Data Protection turned on.

Every picture and video you post spills secrets about you, maybe even revealing where you live. The process of connecting all these dots of our online activities is a practice known as Open Source Intelligence, or OSINT. It's the practice of using all the information available online such as public records, reviews we write, email addresses, usernames, location check ins, and social media, to link together the breadcrumbs of someone's digital life.
Jose Monkey has 1.7 million TikTok followers, and shows us how he finds people's exact location just by using OSINT on their videos. We teach you best practices for posting photos and videos online, and how to make sure that you're not giving away more information than you intend.

Financial privacy has practically vanished over the last 50 years. Most people are in denial about it, and still believe that their relationship with their bank or their credit union is confidential -- the reality couldn’t be further from that.
In this video we walk you through the history of how financial privacy slowly disappeared, and how we built a gargantuan financial surveillance system that no one really understands the extent of.
00:00 Financial Privacy is an Illusion
02:14 Pre-1970
03:23 Bank Secrecy Act
08:02 Annunzio-Wylie AML Act
10:38 Patriot Act
12:51 $600 Rule
16:17 The Future Ahead
18:24 Is This the World We Want?
We have slowly built a gargantuan system of unchecked financial surveillance, and it’s time to question whether this is the world we want to live in. The first step is just making people aware of how far financial surveillance norms have shifted in just a few decades.
