The current state of privacy is bad. Surveillance today is pervasive, and the effects of this surveillance on the fabric of society is profound. We need to make sure we’re fully aware of the consequences of creating a world without privacy.

If we want to reclaim privacy in the digital age, the answer is not to throw out our devices, it’s to truly embrace technology, and leverage all the new, cutting edge privacy and encryption technologies being developed every day.

We are empowered human beings. And many of us aren't just passive enjoyers of technology -- we have a say in the direction that this technology will take, and are helping write its future. It's in our power to make sure that the future we create is the best possible timeline, not the worst.

So let’s be intentional about the kind of future we want.

______________..

Our computers constantly talk to servers across the internet without us realizing, sharing information about our activities. Most of us don't even realize how many programs are silently connecting to the internet and sharing data. It usually happens without our explicit consent.

But we can block these connections. On Mac, you can use a program called Little Snitch.

In this video we look at the data is silently transmitted from our computer through things like telemetry, and show you how to use Little Snitch to regain control over the data leaving your computer.

01:39 Data Leaving Your Computer
04:02 Little Snitch Walkthrough
10:13 Bazzell’s Settings
10:35 A Note About Alerts and Rules
11:48 Conclusion

Using a reverse firewall like Little Snitch can be very revealing about how much data is silently being transmitted from our computer. Simply becoming aware of this can help us make better decisions with the tech we use.

Our suggestions come from privacy expert Michael Bazzell, and we highly recommend you check out his site: https://inteltechniques.com/blog/2021/08/18/macos-telemetry-update

Photos these days usually stay in digital form. Sometimes we back them up to the cloud for safekeeping: but who is getting access to your sensitive images when you do so?

In this video we look at the built-in photo backup options on iPhone and Android, and how private they really are. We also explore more private backup solutions, and how to set them up to happen automatically so that you never have to worry about losing your precious memories ever again.

There are some really simple solutions that don’t require any technical skill.

No Place to Hi..

We put a lot of trust in cloud storage providers, presuming that they’ll keep our data safe. But what if they're hacked? Or their servers go down? Or what if they decide to just kick us out of our accounts, and we lose all our emails, files, contacts, photos...
There's another big problem with centralizing all our storage on a single platform: it turns out the whole world is doing it. Most of the world's data is stored by just 3 companies: Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.

In this video we’re going to talk about how a handful of companies came to control most of the world’s data, how this could put our data in danger and make censorship easier, and we’ll explore the new world of decentralized storage, allowing control of the internet to be distributed back to individuals.

00:00 The BIG problem with Cloud Storage
02:11 The Move Towards Centralized Storage
04:13 Risks of Data Centralization
07:40 Decentralized Storage Options
10:27 The DJ and the War Crimes
11:44 Conclusion
13:19 WTF

We need to make sure that we are protecting our from loss and censorship. Decentralized storage allows us to return to the ideals of the early internet, that promised a connected world where information flows freely.

Your phone is more than just a communication tool; it’s a powerful tracking device, and the SIM card inside is a key reason why.

I don’t actually have a SIM card in any of my phones, and in this video I’ll explain the reasons why.

I’ll also talk about alternative ways that you can still have connectivity on the go without a SIM in your phone, and I’ll dive into the downsides of not having a SIM in your phone.

What has the government done to..

Many of us don't fully grasp the importance of privacy for a free society.

We allow total invasion of our privacy, making a bet that we and those in power will stay on good terms, so this data will never be used against us.

But as Snowden said, regimes come and go, social norms change, but that data is forever.

Privacy is not a tool for criminals, as many would have you believe. It's essential for regular people, to allow them to dissent, have independent thoughts, hold people accountable without fearing retribution.

In this video, we explore the crucial link between privacy and a free society, and why we must immediately fight to reclaim the narrative around privacy and surveillance.

00:00 Intro
00:33 Historical Losses of Privacy
01:40 Privacy Loss Happening Right Now
03:11 Why Protecting Privacy NOW is Essential
05:46 People Become Targets Everyday
06:51 Nefarious Truth About Data Collection
08:40 The Current False Narrative on Privacy
09:33 What’s at Stake?
10:12 What You Can Do Right Now
10:41 Conclusion

The erosion of privacy is not inevitable. But we must start to care, and stop normalizing surveillance.

The holidays are upon us, and it's time to ask some SERIOUS questions:
Why do we allow Santa to spy on us through the year to see if we're being good or bad?
Why do we allow him to dictate the behavior of our children??

Our phones are complex devices that leak our location in countless ways.

We explain 3 essential settings for protecting your location data:
- Airplane Mode
- Location Services
- WiFi

We dive into how they work and try to demystify location tracking, hopefully leaving you with a better understanding of how to use these tools in your privacy toolbox.

There are many other settings you can toggle, depending on your apps and operating system, to help decrease how much location data you reveal, and we'll go through these in another video. This can all go a long way to helping you fortify your digital life.

Your phone is your portal to the digital world, where all kinds of sensitive activity happens. It's important to make sure your phone isn't leaking all this information about you, and the operating system you use makes a huge difference. Android and iOS collect a huge amount of data from you, so in previous videos we've explained how to instal GrapheneOS instead.

In this video we dive into detail about what makes Graphene great for privacy, explain how to get started and what you need to know before you even buy your phone, and walk you through how to optimize your settings to really get the most from your device.

X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, rolled out "encrypted messages" this year!
We explain how to use it, who is eligible, but we also dive into the nitty gritty of how this encryption has been implements, and why we don't think you should trust it for anything sensitive. There are better E2EE messaging apps out there.

X’s introduction of encrypted messaging is long overdue, and a very welcome feature: It not only brings privacy to a lot more people, but it's also a signal to the entire tech industry that privacy is important. Just be careful not to place too much trust in their encrypted messenger: For anything sensitive, we recommend using a platform with more robust privacy features.

Fitness apps help us keep track of our health, but they're also a privacy nightmare. If you're not careful with how you use it, it can even put you in danger.

In this video we explore how they leak all kinds of information about us, how malicious actors scrape data from these apps to target people’s locations, and we look at their hidden settings that you might not realize are turned on.

We can still have cool things, without normalizing data collection. If companies are going to collect all of our data, it’s time we start holding them accountable when they don’t protect that data or are reckless with how they use it. We need to start telling companies that privacy is important, and maybe they’ll start to listen.

How private is your phone keyboard?
Smartphones allow us to intimately communicate, do sensitive work, and access the world around us by tapping on a screen: The gateway to this world is the keyboard. It’s where we type our searches, our credit card details, our passwords. You'd better hope the keyboard you're using is private, and not sending off your keystrokes somewhere else.

In this video we dive into keyboard privacy, and dive into some of the most private and least private keyboard options.

00:00 Intro
01:10 Virtual Keyboards Explained
02:21 Third-Party Keyboards
03:05 How to Tell if a Keyboard App is Safe

16:00 Fleksy
16:42 Stay Vigilant
18:00 YES IT'S OK THAT I PRONOUNCE DATA THIS WAY

A third-party keyboard app isn’t just something you should add to your phone because it offers some cool features. It’s a critical decision that can undermine the privacy of your entire device. Choose wisely.

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.

Beware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice. I do not give investment ad..

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.

00:37 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What has the government done to our money - Rothbard
http..

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
16:21 Modern Dystopian Governments
23:26 Historical Losses of Civil Liberties
26:00 Surveillance Today
31:29 Free Speech is in Danger
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.

When 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.

We 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.
