NBTV: Your Money, Your Data, Your Life

https://youtu.be/KvYaXBiyUQchttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Encrypted-USBs:eStoring sensitive files on a normal USB drive is like writing your diary on a sticky note and leaving it in a taxi. If someone gets the drive, they get the files with no hacking required. But luckily you can use encryption to protect what's on your USB thumbdrive. In this video I compare some great tools that make the data on your USB private from anyone who doesn't have the password. 00:00 Thumbdrives Are Like Diaries01:32 Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3NXC02:24 Kingston IronKey VP50C03:11 Veracrypt04:25 Choose Your Threat Model05:29 Tutorial: Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3.007:16 Tutorial: Kingston IronKey09:36 Privacy Is About ControlPrivacy isn’t about hiding.

https://youtu.be/-kpAFTj-x7ghttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Limits-of-Privacy:1'Privacy is impractical.' 'Concessions are necessary.' 'Be realistic.' These views about becoming mainstream. And they're wrong. Here's why limits on privacy are never a price worth paying for adoption, no matter how reasonable the argument sounds.00:00 The Privacy Salon01:40 Shifting Baseline Syndrome Over Time04:30 The Machine We Built08:24 No More Compromises09:40 The Debate10:54 Privacy Enables Freedom11:20 Shifting Baselines11:54 False Company Claims12:37 Security Risks13:39 In ClosingThis debate is not about whether limiting privacy can accelerate growth. It is about whether trading long-term freedom for short-term scale is a price we should be willing to pay, and the answer is no. Because what's at stake is security, freedom, and human dignity, and the cost of losing that in society for future generations is too high.Learn More On Shifting Baselines in our previous NBTV video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXhXkXcMXyMBrought to you by NBTV team members: Lee, Derek, Will, and Naomi.NBTV is a project of the Ludlow Institute, a 501c3 non profit whose mission is to advance freedom through technology.To support NBTV, visit:https://LudlowInstitute.org/donate(As a 501(c)(3) non profit, all donations are tax-deductible in the USA as permitted by law.)Visit our shop!https://Shop.NBTV.mediaOur eBook "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.

https://youtu.be/J8WjPA_Fc7khttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Cell-vs-voip:9I just recently went to a website to set up a new account, and it wouldn't let me proceed without giving them a cell number. Not a VoIP number, it demanded a real cell number, associated with a SIM. I actually don't have one, because I don't have a SIM in my phone. On top of that, there are many reasons why someone might not want to hand out their cell number to everyone. What should someone do in a situation like this? In this video I'll explain what you can do if someone asks for your cell number, and you don't want to give it to them. We'll talk about VoIP alternatives, and different methods for keeping your data protected.00:00 Actually, I do not have a cell number01:14 Activity Linking02:26 Location Tracking03:37 No Working Number Tactic04:45 VoIP Tactic06:12 Cell Number Rental Tactic07:39 Pre-Paid SIM Tactic08:16 Why Providers Block VoIP10:57 The Cell to VoIP Trick12:58 Dispense with the FormalitiesStop handing out your real cell number by default. Use the alternatives when you can. Make minimal disclosure the norm. Small changes like this reduce your exposure, and they remind companies that access to you isn’t a right.

https://youtu.be/SIRde_NYoCwhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Desktop-vs-computer:fModern smartphones are some of the most locked down consumer devices that have ever existed. Computers are less secure, and you downgrade your security when you link a privacy focused app, like Signal, to a less secure environment. You are effectively taking a very well protected environment, your phone, and extending trust to a much weaker one. For some people it will be worth it, but it's important to understand the tradeoffs.00:00 I Do Not Use Signal desktop00:28 How Phones Sandbox Apps01:20 Desktop Security Explained02:05 Not a Signal Issue02:26 Desktops Widen Attack Surface04:13 Hardware Backed Security Explained05:13 The Risk Explained06:14 Keep Your Phone Lean06:50 We Want to Hear From YOU!Security always collapses to the weakest link. That does not mean that Signal desktop is bad. It simply means desktops are inherently riskier environments. So the next time you link a high security tool to a less secure environment, be sure to understand the tradeoffs.

https://youtu.be/70azaXOhjpIhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/PGP:4Email is closer to a digital postcard than a sealed letter, and mainstream providers like Gmail read and analyze everything that's inside. Unfortunately, email isn’t going anywhere in our society because it’s baked into how the digital world communicates; but luckily there are ways to make your emails more private. One tool that you can use is called PGP. In this video, I'll explain what PGP is, and show you how providers like Protonmail make it super easy to encrypt the contents of every email you send.00:00 Email Was Never Built for Privacy00:50 What is PGP02:17 How PGP Works06:43 Proton Tutorial07:03 In-Network Emails07:42 Out-of-Network Password Protected Emails09:00 Out-of-Network PGP Protected Emails10:37 Importing PGP Keys11:49 Exporting and Sharing PGP Keys12:35 How to Share Your Public Key14:56 Phil Zimmerman and The Ludlow InstitutePhil Zimmerman said in his original PGP user guide text “Why I Wrote PGP” in 1991 that: “PGP empowers people to take their privacy into their own hands. There has been a growing social need for it". That statement remains even more resounding today. The builders of privacy tools risk a lot in order to create the tools that protect us all. It's up to us to use them. Phil Zimmerman Text “Why I Wrote PGP”: https://philzimmermann.com/EN/essays/WhyIWrotePGP.htmlMy Interview with Phil Zimmerman:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NciVkd6ddPoSpecial Thanks to Phil Zimmerman for his mentorship and advisory role at the Ludlow InstituteBrought to you by NBTV team members: Lee, Derek, Will and Naomi.NBTV is a project of the Ludlow Institute, a 501c3 non profit whose mission is to advance freedom through technology.To support NBTV, visit:https://LudlowInstitute.org/donate(As a 501(c)(3) non profit, all donations are tax-deductible in the USA as permitted by law.)Visit our shop!https://Shop.NBTV.mediaOur eBook "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.

Viewer discretion is advised.You might think privacy is optional. Something you can worry about later. But right now there is a major war against privacy being waged. If governments can arrest the people who build privacy tools, then when the day finally comes where you might need them, those tools will not exist anymore.I had the pleasure and heartache of interviewing Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder of Samourai Wallet, an open-source, non-custodial privacy wallet, who goes to prison this week because of the privacy tool he created. The whole case against him was based on the idea that privacy itself is criminal. This is his story.00:00 A Chilling Conversation00:35 The War on Privacy01:35 The Privacy Developer14:45 The Privacy Wallet20:08 The Arrest24:12 The Charges38:24 The Judge40:43 The Deal47:12 The Final Knife Twist51:28 The War on Privacy Developers56:04 How We Win the WarIf you care about a future where privacy is still possible, you need to start paying attention now, because Keonne isn't the only privacy developer being targeted. This is happening all over the world, and we need to stand up for the people building the tools that protect us all.Extra special thanks to Keonne Rodriguez for spending precious moments of his remaining freedom to give this interview.
