https://youtu.be/hPALUKCaARs https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/warrants:8 Warrants are one of the most powerful checks on government power ever invented. But in an age where your data is bought from brokers, your movements are tracked by private contractors, and your financial records are collected in bulk… the protections warrants were designed to provide have been quietly gutted. In this video, we break down how warrants actually work, why the founders were obsessed with getting them ri...
https://youtu.be/KvYaXBiyUQc https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Encrypted-USBs:e Storing 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...
https://youtu.be/-kpAFTj-x7g https://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 Salon 01:40 Shifting Baseline Syndrome Over Time 04:30 The Machine We Built 08:24 No More Compromises 09:40 The Debate 10:54 Privacy Enable...
https://youtu.be/J8WjPA_Fc7k https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Cell-vs-voip:9 I 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 situat...
https://youtu.be/SIRde_NYoCw https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Desktop-vs-computer:f Modern 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 u...
https://youtu.be/70azaXOhjpI https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/PGP:4 Email 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...
https://youtu.be/PgIxxWDRpbA https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/3-privacy-fixes:4 It's a new year, and a perfect time for fresh starts, especially when it comes to privacy. If you made your way to our channel because you care about privacy, but you're not sure where to begin, this video is for you. 00:00 A New Year, A New Start 00:33 Email 02:19 Messaging 04:23 Browser 06:18 Disclaimer 06:56 Privacy Does Not Have to be Extreme If you're just starting your privacy journey, there's no need...

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...
Want to buy online without handing over all your personal details? This sketch shows how to use privacy tools so you do not share unnecessary details with every merchant you interact with. Think email aliases, VOIP numbers, PMBs, and masked cards. What you’ll learn, through this dramatic reenactment of an experience submitted by an NBTV community member: • How PMBs, aliases, VOIP numbers, and masked cards work together • Why many checkout forms demand more data than a transaction requires 00:...

https://youtu.be/qcd1ZCmFkiE https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Reboot-Your-Device:e How long has it been since you rebooted your devices? Many people don't actually think to do this, because as long as everything is working, why spend the hassle turning everything off and on again? But if you care about security, privacy, and a device that behaves, you should reboot more often. This is a short guide on why regular reboots are worth it, and how often to do them. 00:00 “Its been 84 years...
https://youtu.be/IOa9tjoxsQ8 https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Flock:3 They’re on street corners, utility poles, even garbage trucks... and they’re tracking everywhere you go. Welcome to the world of Automatic license plate readers. These aren't just cameras. They're part of a cloud-based surveillance network logging your movements in real time, and creating a warrantless database for law enforcement. In this video, I explain: - How ALPRs work - Why this system almost surely violates th...
https://youtu.be/Xr9l6xSrM28 Platforms have one overriding goal: to keep us online as long as possible. And they’ve learned that nothing hooks us like outrage. But here's something many people don't realize: privacy and surveillance have everything to do with it. In this video I want to explore how surveillance is the key to polarization and how, ultimately, it's the engine that makes platform-driven polarization work. 00:00 We’re More Polarized Than Ever 00:27 Outrage 02:08 Manipulation 08...
https://youtu.be/uaexH72AOBo https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Homebrew:5 Are you using the App Store to manage apps on your Mac? You may want to reconsider. Using Apple’s App Store might feel convenient, but it comes with hidden privacy costs. Every app you download is tied to your Apple ID, creating a detailed profile of your habits, interests, and behavior. In this video, I expose the risks of using the App Store on your Mac, and teach you how to use Homebrew, a powerful, privacy-res...
https://youtu.be/1DwOQwRn8_Y https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/KYC:9 A huge portion of the digital world now requires mandatory ID checks. New surveillance laws such as the UK’s Online Safety Act, the EU’s Chat Control proposal, and a wave of US state-level KYC mandates have transformed the internet from an open network into a system of checkpoints and control. In this video, we expose the coordinated attack on privacy happening around the world. We trace how we got here, how platforms ...
https://youtu.be/dgd5_2pfEd0 https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Pseudonymous-social-media:6 You don’t need to disappear off the grid to stay private online. But you do need a strategy. In this video, we break down how to use social media without revealing your real identity. We’ll walk through how to understand your threat model, avoid common mistakes, and build a pseudonymous identity that actually protects you. Whether you're just trying to keep your boss out of your business or avoid ...
https://youtu.be/1PeAfNBNARI https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Doctor-privacy:4 Why doesn’t your doctor’s office feel like a safe place anymore? Most people assume their medical conversations are private. But in the U.S., the moment your doctor enters something into your Electronic Health Record (EHR), it can be legally shared with over 2.2 million entities—often without your knowledge or consent. Did you know there are financial incentives for providers to collect as much data as possi...
Your Smart TV is spying on you. It’s taking snapshots of everything you watch -- sometimes hundreds per second -- and quietly sending that data to third parties. In this video, we reveal what’s really happening behind the glass: How smart TVs track your behavior How that data is used to profile and manipulate you And how you can protect yourself. Surveillance has crept into our living rooms. It’s time to draw the line. 00:00 TV Is No Longer a Private Activity 00:39 Understanding Smart TVs 05...
https://youtu.be/gGva7O3czg0 https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/without-consent:5 Your child already has a digital footprint—before they can even speak. But they didn’t create it. You did. Every photo you post, every milestone you share, helps train facial recognition systems and build psychological profiles your child will carry for life. These profiles are sold, scored, and used by companies and governments—long before your child is old enough to understand what privacy even means. In ...
https://youtu.be/1g0RzOGxe40 Step-by-Step Privacy Hardening: Apple is better than Microsoft and Google when it comes to privacy—but they still collect way too much of your data. If you want the strongest digital privacy, Linux is the gold standard. But if you're not ready to make the switch just yet, you can still dramatically improve your Mac’s privacy. In this video, we walk you through privacy expert Michael Bazzell’s recommended macOS setup—from purchasing a device (without linking it t...
