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 Fourth Amendment in the digital age.00:00 - We need to stop warrantless surveillance02:04 - TOP SECRET SPYING he can't tell you about04:47 - Naomi and Ludlow's work on this bill06:09 - Modern day abuse of power08:27 - SAA puts an end to unconstitutional spying09:17 - WHAT THE FLOCK?10:01 - Fed are BUYING your data12:08 - The FISA debate misses ALL THIS SPYING13:03 - We're about to lose our country14:24 - We're running out of time before we reach panopticonThe Surveillance Accountability Act closes the loop

The third-party doctrine is an outdated legal rule, created in an era before smartphones, before the internet, before our private lives became data.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 Yes, The Government CAN Do That01:22 4th Amendment Review02:50 3rd Party Doctrine Explained10:22 The Reasonable Expectation of Privacy Test14:09 How We Solve This16:40 Bailment: The Most Important Term You've Never Heard Of19:52 Congress Needs to Step InThe lie at the heart of the third-party doctrine is that it tells us that participating in modern life means surrendering the protections we were supposed to have against government searches.

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

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.

https://youtu.be/-kpAFTj-x7ghttps://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 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

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 Formalit

https://youtu.be/SIRde_NYoCwhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Desktop-vs-computer:fModern 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 environ

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: “P

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.

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.

https://youtu.be/1PeAfNBNARIhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Doctor-privacy:4Why 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
