In today’s digital world, nothing is truly secure. Imagine waking up to find that a hacker had posted every conversation you’ve ever had online. We don't need to keep a permanent trail of all of our digital conversations, that could be hacked at any time, and there are deep psychological effects when we do so.

In this video, I make a case for using disappearing messages.

Whether we’re safeguarding sensitive information, limiting our exposure, or simply reducing the clutter of our digital lives, turning on disappearing messages is a small change with significant impact. Disappearing messages are a great tool in your privacy toolbox for this increasingly permanent digital age.

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/HIPAA:7

Most people think that HIPAA means that their medical records are kept private. But what if I told you that HIPAA doesn’t protect your privacy at all?

This is our first video in a series about medical privacy, specifically looking at legislation that stripped individuals of the right to consent to medical data sharing.

We focus on what HIPAA actually is, how it came to allow our data to be shared without us even knowing, how we’ve been tricked into thinking we have privacy, and steps we can take to reclaim control of our medical data.

00:00 The State of Medical Privacy is a Mess
02:29 What is HIPAA
07:39 How Your Data is Shared
12:10 The Illusion of Privacy
14:48 What Can We Do
22:16 We Deserve Medical Privacy

We deserve privacy in our medical system. Our health information is sensitive, and we should be allowed to protect it. Even while we fight for better medical privacy, please always prioritize your health.

Special Thanks to: Twila Brase, Rob Frommer, and Keith Smith for chatting to us!

What do Fish and Privacy have in common? This video will explain.
Our expectations of privacy have shifted dramatically in the past few decades. What was once considered outrageous overreach has become normal, and we've lost sight of what a healthy amount of privacy even looks like. It's called shifting-baseline syndrome, first coined in relation to fish populations.

This video is based on a fantastic essay by Bruce Schneier and Barath Raghavan: We take stock of how privacy expectations have changed, and think about whether this is really the future we want to be moving towards.

00:00 Privacy is Like Fish - Huh?
00:38 Our Perception of Privacy
04:35 Fish???
05:55 Shifting Baselines
08:37 Is This the Future We Want?
10:43 Privacy is Like My Plant

A huge thank you to Bruce Schneier and Barath Raghavan for letting us reproduce their ideas in video form. Original essay: https://spectrum.ieee.org/online-privacy

Most of our conversations are digital, and our privacy hinges on our ability to convince others to use a private messaging platform. Getting friends and family to switch isn't easy though!

Here are some strategies you can try, ranging from educational methods, to downright sneakiness!

00:00 We have all decided to never answer our phone again
02:12 Its Easy
02:47 Privacy Leaks
04:29 Response Delay
05:45 Missed Connection
06:37 Daily Reward
08:35 App-Switching Fatigue
09:10 It’s Worth the Effort

Convincing people to switch to a more private messaging app can be tough, but it’s definitely not something you should give up on. Persistence and patience are key. By encouraging better habits you really are making a more private world, starting in your own backyard.

We got all our suggestions from Michael Bazzell's book, "Extreme Privacy":

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Fingerprint-unlock:e

Should you use fingerprint unlock on your device? The answer is not going to be the same for everyone. In this video, I look at the benefits and tradeoffs of using fingerprint readers, and try to compare the security of fingerprint unlock vs a pin or password. A major factor to consider is actually what kind of device you have.

00:00 You Asked, I Delivered!
00:56 What is Fingerprint Unlock
02:13 Should You Use Fingerprint Unlock
03:15 Convenience Consideration
04:18 Shoulder Surfing Protections
04:49 Biometrics are Forever
06:30 Brute Forcing
12:07 Coercion
14:40 Summary

Fingerprints are more like usernames than passwords. They’re unique, static and identifiable as belonging to you. But Fingerprint security is also very convenient, and for many people shouldn’t be ruled out as an option. We are constantly unlocking our phones all through the day. So choose something that will be sustainable for you and is justified by your threat model, otherwise you might drive yourself insane. There is no perfect answer when it comes to phone security, so make a decision based on your unique context.

Our devices contain a treasure trove of private information. We have sensitive work documents, cherished family photos, archives of private communications. You can keep these digital files safe by using encrypted containers, which are secure digital vaults that will help keep your data private. In this video, we explain how use the free, open source encryption program VeraCrypt.

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Phone-Contacts:9

The humble Contact List in our phone is a goldmine of data. Each contact is filled with the personal information like names, numbers, email addresses, home addresses, birthdays, work details and social media information. It’s the kind of information that data brokers salivate over because it allows unprecedented insight into consumer behavior, political leanings, and even potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The worst thing is, it's not even your information that's being taken -- When we don't protect our contacts list, it's the information that OTHERS have entrusted to us that we're sharing.

In this video I talk about Contact Lists, why you might not want to store them in your phone or share them with other apps on your device, and finally I’ll talk about more private ways to store them.

00:00 Your Phone Compromises Your Contacts
00:28 Overview
00:39 Why Contacts Lists Are Important
01:51 Who Sees Our Contact List
05:37 Private Ways To Store Contacts
06:23 Reviewing App Permissions
06:57 Third Party Contact Apps
07:53 Encrypted Contact Storage
08:43 Graphene: The Ultimate Solution
09:57 It’s Time to Take Back Control!

By disabling automatic cloud syncing, regularly reviewing and managing our apps’ contact permissions, and using privacy-focused apps and services, we can reduce the indiscriminate harvesting of our social graph. Our contacts deserve to be treated with the utmost care and respect.

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/car-privacy-part-3:1

We now know that the data collection in modern cars is out of control -- The question is, how does that data even leave your car? And what, if anything, can you do to stop it?

That's what we cover in this video, Part 3 of our car privacy series: SIM cards, WiFi, and OBD ports.

We also talk about how companies trick us into handing over our data, things that we can do to push back against this insane overreach that we’ve somehow normalized, and the giant legal loophole for cars that makes it super easy for law enforcement to collect your data without a warrant.

00:00 Your Car Saw What You Did in the Backseat!
02:57 Don't plug in ANYTHING
04:41 Satellite and Bluetooth
05:47 WiFi
06:29 SIM Cards
08:22 Find out what's going on!
11:10 Shady Tactics
14:38 Challenging Data Overreach
16:35 Car Warrant Loophole
18:00 There is Hope

There currently are no easy fixes to the problem of car surveillance. Car manufacturers currently only see the opportunities that come from selling your data. Let’s make sure they also see the opportunity of offering privacy as a feature, by making our voice heard!
