  https://youtu.be/YZm4NQyk-jU https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/independence:1 This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace by EFF co-founder John Perry Barlow, and also America’s 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

  America's Secret Database 11.07.2026 26Min.

  https://youtu.be/1nKGNcj32L8 https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/FISA:9a FISA is a sweeping surveillance authority that allows the warrantless surveillance of Americans in the name of national security. It was originally created to stop intelligence agencies from spying on people in the US without oversight. But over time, the guardrails came off. And the man who helped build some of those guardrails at the FBI now says the system has gone badly wrong. In this video, we trace the full histor...

  Fix Proton Search 19.06.2026 10Min.

  https://youtu.be/cmXTreZ-pH0 https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Proton-settings:c Is Proton Mail search broken? Not at all! The issue is that Proton can't read your encrypted inbox - and you probably haven't enabled the privacy-first local search setting. In this video, I'll show you exactly how to: - Enable local email search in Proton Mail - Understand the key differences between desktop and mobile search - Configure a bunch of other essential privacy settings I use in my own account 00...

  Is the Government Running a Dragnet on VPN Users? 22.05.2026 11Min.

  https://youtu.be/hV9QEVf6CgI Wyden has asked the government to warn Americans that the very tool millions use to protect their privacy may be used as a mass surveillance tool against them. He says "Warn Americans how government are treating VPNs." When Wyden asks pointed questions in public, it's usually because of something he can't say out loud. Remember his Senate hearing in 2013? Don't worry, we'll remind you. So what does Wyden know? And should you still be using a VPN? 00:00 The Q...

  Stop Plugging Your Phone Into Things 08.05.2026 11Min.

  https://youtu.be/nJP_iHaoRfQ https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/USB-Data-Blocker:a That USB port on the plane or in your car? It's not just a power outlet, it's a computer. And every time you plug in, you're potentially handing it a two-way connection to your phone: power going in, and your data going out. In this video, I break down why plugging your phone into random USB ports can be risky, how attackers can use these connections to steal data or install malware ("juice jacking"), and h...

  The Surveillance Accountability Act Fixes This 24.04.2026 21Min.

  https://youtu.be/60IKOar3kY8 https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/surveillance-accountability-act:5 The federal government is spying on you, and they're doing it without a warrant. Ludlow Institute helped create a bill to fix this. And on April 23, 2026, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) introduced this bill to the House. We gave a press conference at the Capitol to introduce H.R. 8470 — the Surveillance Accountability Act, a landmark bill designed to restore the Fo...

  Spoiler: It's Not You 13.04.2026 22Min.

  The third-party doctrine is an outdated legal rule, created in an era before smartphones, before the internet, before our private lives became data. The fallout has been catastrophic. This decades-old principle erased the protections meant to shield us from arbitrary government intrusion and opened the door to a future of unchecked surveillance and control. In this video, we'll break down what the third-party doctrine actually is, how it works in a digital world, and why it has to go. 00:00 ...

  These Searches Used To Be Illegal... 30.03.2026 23Min.

  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...

  Stop Using Non-Private USBs 13.03.2026 11Min.

  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...

  The Argument Against Privacy That Sounds Smart But Isn't 27.02.2026 15Min.

  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.

  Stop Giving Out Your Cell Number. Here's Why. 13.02.2026 14Min.

  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...

  Why I Don't Link Signal To My Computer 30.01.2026 8Min.

  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...

  Using PGP With Proton 16.01.2026 17Min.

  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/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...

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.

  How Surveillance Turns You Into a Puppet of the Internet 03.10.2025 14Min.

  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...
