It's worse than you realize. In this video we dive into all the types of data your car is collecting about you: from video footage, microphone recordings, location data, biometrics, all the way to files/contacts/photos ingested from your phone!
00:00 Cars are NO place for a private conversation!
02:11 What data is our car collecting?
05:41 Video footage
06:16 Microphones
08:09 Location
08:40 There's a SIM card in your phone, sending off all your data!
10:01 Telematics
10:56 Sensors: Capturing weight, emotions, etc
11:10 DON'T CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO YOUR CAR!
13:00 Who is getting access to our data?
14:06 This is a huge problem
This is the first video in a series we're doing on car privacy. Later in the series we examine:
- how easy it is to hack modern cars
- trackers in cars that you had no idea existed
- the perverse incentives that drive companies to collect as much data about us as possible
- the history of when this all started
- dangers of used cars: the previous owner of your car might still have access to all your car’s remote features, tracking tools, and cameras!
- how to wipe your own information and location history from your car before you sell it
- how to opt out of this collection and better protect yourself
We really need to get a conversation going around car privacy, and increase awareness. It’s so important we push back against the normalization of these practices, starting now.

https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Creating-a-better-internet:9
The internet has fundamentally transformed the way we communicate and access information. But while it lifts us up, it has also become the most potent enabler of totalitarian surveillance that the world has ever seen.
In this talk, I explore the privacy implications of our growing digital world, and the kind of future we are paving the way towards. I also dive into what we can do today to try to ensure a better future.
00:00 The Internet's Double-Edged Sword
03:33 Current State of Privacy
07:46 Effects of Pervasive Surveillance
18:22 The Normalization of Surveillance and its Psychological Effects
25:00 Recap So Far
25:34 What Can We Do TODAY for a Better Tomorrow
33:54 Conclusion
As we celebrate the marvel that is the modern digital world, it’s vital we recognize the internet’s dual nature: it’s as much a beacon of enlightenment as it is a potential tool for surveillance. History is riddled with instances where powerful entities have misused it to target the vulnerable and the voiceless.
As we craft the web’s future, let’s not just innovate; let’s protect.
Every line of code, every infrastructure choice, every innovation can not only push the boundaries of what’s technologically possible, but can also uphold the fundamental right to privacy for billions of people across the globe.
Let's create a better internet!

"I'm not important, why would anyone target me?"
The internet is a war zone filled with people actively trying to scrape all of your data and attack you with scams.
But you're not being singled out: Scammers target everyone. They're indiscriminate, and you will inevitably fall into their wide net.
In this video I explain how perceiving yourself as a low-value target actually makes you an ideal target for both scams and data collection. I also explain how you can better protect yourself.
00:00 Intro
00:37 Overview
01:02 The Illusion of Digital Insignificance
06:33 You Are Not As Careful As You Should Be
08:34 How to Protect Yourself
11:57 Conclusion
By underestimating our digital importance, we put both our privacy and security at greater risk.

https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/data-brokers-ruin-lives:d
Data brokers are like invisible digital packrats, silently harvesting every piece of data about us that they can find. But the information provided by data brokers isn’t always correct. This is a problem because it's often heavily relied on by law enforcement as evidence, without being independently verified.
In this video, hacker and researcher Ghost Exodus explains how his life took a dramatic turn because of inaccurate information provided by data brokers. We also explain steps that you can be can today to minimize your risk.
00:00 What Are Data Brokers
03:28 LexisNexis' Accurint
04:43 Ghost Exodus' Story
07:51 The Dangers of Inaccurate Data Collection
10:08 What Can We Do
11:29 Conclusion
If we enable powerful entities like governments or corporations to see completely into our lives, we shift the balance of power too far away from the individual, and could lead society to a dark place. Thankfully, we are empowered individuals, and can make changes in our own lives to protect our privacy, starting today.

https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Telegram:68
Telegram advertises itself as a private messaging app, and has attracted over 800 million users. But Telegram is one of the last apps I'd recommend if you're looking for private communication.
In this video we explain how encryption actually works on Telegram: how it's not possible to end-to-end encrypt group chats, and how direct messages are not private by default. There are also some red flags about their encryption protocol, and how they present their overall privacy to the broader public.
00:00 Intro
00:47 Group Chats
01:38 One to One Messages
04:25 Encryption
05:54 Who Gets Access to Your Data?
08:27 Conclusion
Group chats on Telegram are wildly popular. But just remember that those messages are all able to be read by Telegram, as well as anyone else who is able to get access. I don't want anyone being misled about the privacy on the platform due to impressive marketing campaigns.

Data brokers know a lot about us. They silently harvest any information they can find, by purchasing information, using trackers, scraping social media, ingesting data breaches.
They compile this information into databases, and sell access so that others can sift through the most private and sensitive areas of our lives.
In this video we pull back the curtain on a largest player in this industry - LexisNexis Risk Solutions, and talk about their giant contracts to sell data to governments.

15:20 Proactive Steps You Can Take TODAY
Data is the new currency. Let’s take back control of our information, and make more conscious choices about the technology we use.
The future has not yet been written -- let's write one where privacy prevails and the balance of power lies with the individual. Let's fight against the creeping normalization of surveillance in our lives.

Financial privacy is essential for a free society, because it allows us to support causes we believe in without fear of retribution, to flee dangerous situations without being tracked, to live our daily lives without feeling like every choice we make is on display and needs to be self-censored.
How can we have a truly free society if the way we interact with the world around us is constantly monitored and controlled? But that's exactly what's going on right now. In this presentation I explain how surveillance of the traditional financial system works, and what solutions there are for reclaiming your right to financial privacy.
00:00 Financial Privacy Is Crucial for a Free Society
2:22 Traditional Financial System is Controlled, Censored, and Monitored
3:29 Talk Overview
5:38 Everyone Is Selling Your Financial Data
6:42 People Are Persecuted Because Their Payments Are Monitored
8:42 History of Financial Surveillance
13:02 3rd-Party Doctrine
14:07 Cash
17:59 Bitcoin
18:40 Cryptocurrencies are NOT private!
19:53 Tip #1: Use Privacy Coins
26:20 Tip #2: No Pass-Through Privacy
29:11 Tip #3: Break Up Patterns
33:57 Tip #4: Protect Against OSINT Privacy Leaks
39:23 Tip #5: Beware of Active Analysis Tricks
44:55 Alternative Financial Systems ARE The Answer
47:03 Audience Q&A
Traditional privacy tools like cash continue to dwindle in relevance, but cryptocurrencies like privacy coins present themselves as torchbearers of financial privacy in this new digital era.
But the level of privacy you get is contingent upon the choices you make -- it's not enough to use things like privacy coins, you have to know how to use them properly.

Consumer grade routers are like leaky boats. But you can beef up your setup using things like the pfSense open source router and firewall software.
In previous videos we've looks specifically at DNS settings, and programs like "Unbound" within pfSense. While these grant you granular control over your home network, they can also be confusing.
This video dives deeper into "Unbound", the DNS resolver on pfSense, and explains what each of its many settings means so that you can get a better understanding of just what it's capable of.
00:00 Intro
01:09 DNS/pfSense Recap
02:22 Unbound Settings Explained
11:00 DNS Forwarder Explained
11:38 Conclusion
pfSense is a great tool that gives your router a power-up, enabling greater control, enhancing security, and the ability to set up more privacy for your internet activities.

https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/DNS-Blocklists:3
These days, trackers infiltrate nearly every webpage. Advertisements demand your attention and monitor your online movements. Your own devices and software send telemetry back to manufacturers and developers, leaking all kinds of information about your activities.
DNS blocklists can help you regain control over your network traffic. They can stop your devices from ever connecting to certain data tracking sites, malicious content, or servers that collect telemetry.
In this video, we explain exactly how they work, and how to set them up on your home network using the open source router and firewall software, pfSense.
00:00 Intro
00:53 Understanding DNS Blocklists
02:32 Setting Up DNS Blocklists
13:36 Note for Quad9 Users
14:17 The Looming Threat
15:12 Conclusion
DNS blocklists and the reports they generate are a great way to become more aware of how our data is being collected and our privacy invaded without us realizing.

https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/The-erosion-of-privacy-and-its-consequences:3
Privacy 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 NOW
07:02 Government Data Collection

34:01 What Can We Do?
38:26 Privacy Tools
43:28 Conclusion
It’s essential that we start to reclaim the narrative and remind people that privacy is crucial for a free society.
