Your Data Is For Sale, and the Feds Are Buying
Warrants Are Optional Now?
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 right, and what's changed in the digital era that should concern everyone.There's a part of every warrant that almost no one talks about — and it's the part that matters most. Once you understand this machinery inside a warrant, you'll never dismiss them as "just paperwork" again.00:00 The Most Important Thing You've Never Thought About01:19 What Is A Warrant?03:40 Footage Of My Ancestor, Judge Naomira Brockwulf 09:07 Why Is A Search Dangerous?14:02 The Forgotten Amendment16:01 Actual Footage of the FBI Redefining The Term "Search"16:19 The FBI Is Buying Your Data20:19 The Surveillance Accountability ActSpecial thanks to Rob Frommer and Jim Harper for all their work on 4th Amendment Protections.Here is a link to the legislation Jim Harper is currently working on: https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/billinfo.aspx?id=1667&inflect=2Stay tuned for a link to the "Surveillance Accountability Act" which will be announced this week!Brought 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.

Stop using non-private UBSs!
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 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.

The Argument Against Privacy That Sounds Smart But Isn't
'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.

Stop Giving Out Your Cell Number. Here's Why.
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 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.

Why I Don't Link Signal To My Computer
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 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.

Using PGP With Proton
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 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.

He Built a Privacy Tool. Now He’s Going to Prison.
WARNING: This video contains flashing lights and visual effects that may trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. 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.

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?

How surveillance turns you into a puppet of the internet
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 Ever00:27 Outrage02:08 Manipulation08:47 Targeting vs Filter Bubbles10:05 What We Should DoPrivacy is our ally in this fight. The less companies and governments know about us, the harder it is for them to manipulate us. Privacy protects our autonomy in the digital age. We don't need to be led by the mob around us and be a tool in their propaganda war. It's time to reclaim our autonomy.Brought to you by NBTV team members: Lee, Derek Porter, Will Sandoval and Naomi Brockwell.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.

Why I Don't Use the Mac App Store (and What I Use Instead)
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-respecting alternative.

This is the moment the internet changed forever
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 were pressured into compliance, and why this wave of regulation is unlike anything we have seen before.00:00 SHOW YOUR PAPERS01:43 UK’s Online Safety Act03:06 A Global Pattern06:11 How Did We Get Here?07:49 What Now?14:05 The SolutionThis landslide of lost freedoms has happened in mere weeks.

She Said "Don’t Write That Down." The Doctor Did Anyway.
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 possible? That’s why they often document details that have nothing to do with your care that day. And if you ask your doctor not to include something in your record? You’ll likely be treated as the difficult one—for simply wanting privacy.Because privacy is no longer the default. The default is feeding your most sensitive information into an opaque system designed to share it with a vast, invisible network of third parties.In this short video, I share a real story from one of our NBTV members who tried to protect her privacy—and was overruled.
