NFTs are taking the world by storm.

A video highlight of a LeBron James dunkshot went for over $200,000 dollars.
Kings of Leon released their album as an NFT.
People are selling NFTs of their tweets.
And the most expensive NFT to date: Artwork by Beeple, which sold for over 69 million dollars!

But what is an NFT, and what's all the hype about?

I explain how blockchain and art have merged to create this phenomenon, and show you how to get involved.

Our lives and day-to-day activities have largely moved onto our digital devices. But this new digital landscape is filled with people trying to monitor these activities and figure out exactly what we’re doing on our devices.

What if we don’t want all of our online activity to be viewable by strangers?

I decided to see if it were possible to set up new apple devices that weren’t tied to my identity in any way – that were completely anonymous. And I found the more private I wanted to be... the less convenient it was.

Some quick tips:
Use cash
Beware of iCloud
Disable Siri
NEVER remember wifi networks!

I chose Apple products for this video because they’re mainstream, and will go over some other private solutions in other videos.

One resource I highly recommend if you’re interested in extreme privacy is a fantastic book by Michael Bazzel called “Extreme Privacy: What It Takes to Disappear”

The WORST messaging apps for PRIVACY

Credit cards are a notoriously insecure means of payment and credit card fraud is one of the most common types of identity theft in the US. We give out our credit card number constantly without even thinking about it, and with it our name and home address.

Enter Virtual Credit Cards: they’re like a VPN for your credit card. No more revealing private information to every stranger from whom you want to make a purchase. No more handing out the keys to the kingdom that allow anyone to draw money from your account.

Crypto is my preferred means of payment because you retain sovereignty over your money, you can have much better financial privacy, and you can save a bunch of money if you use services like Purse.io, Bitrefill, and Dash Direct.

BUT...

Some people are not yet ready to take the plunge completely into crypto. So if you enjoy the world of recurring payments and credit card purchases but are looking for a more private option, VIRTUAL credit cards may be for you!

In this video, Josh Summers from “All Things Secured” explains how virtual credit cards work and why they’re great for giving back some privacy and control over your money.

00:00 - Intro
00:55 - What are Virtual Credit Cards

What is a VIRTUAL credit card? (2021)

Google is all over our phones. The amount of data that they’re collecting about us is astronomical, regardless of whether we’re using an iPhone or an Android.

But why does it matter if Google knows so much about us?
First, that data is being siphoned up by governments: Not just the US government, but governments all over the world. While we’re probably not doing anything wrong, what is considered “normal” or “acceptable” today may not be tomorrow. Regimes come and go, culture changes, but that data is forever.

Second, carving out some privacy in our digital lives is important. Surveillance has dramatic effects on a society: We self-censor and conform when we know we’re being watched.

Luckily there are lots of ways that we can protect our data so that it’s not all collected and stored in a permanent record attached to our identity.

I went to a “de-google your phone” install party the other weekend, where we learnt how to install a new operating system on our phones that will better protect our privacy.

We installed “GrapheneOS”, a privacy and security-enhancing phone operating system recommended by Snowden. We also downloaded some awesome google-alternative apps.

In this video I’ll teach you how to do this too.

00:00 Intro
02:29 What is GrapheneOS?
03:51 Install Tutorial
07:44 Alternative to Google apps
11:02 My takeaways
11:25 Purchasing a pre-installed Graphene phone

Difficulty level for this tutorial:
1.5/3

It is actually not that difficult to live a Google-free lifestyle, enjoying almost all the things you would normally do on your phone, without compromising your privacy.

Huge thank you to members of Boston Zcash for their help organizing this de-googling installation party!

I’m considering offering phones on my website with graphene and all the core apps that I use preinstalled. Visit https://nbtv.media/essentialprivacy if interested in learning more!

Find the install packages and instructions at https://grapheneos.org

How To DE-GOOGLE Your Phone!

Moxie Marlinspike, OG cypherpunk and privacy legend, just announce his resignation as CEO of Signal. This was an abrupt announcement that caught much of the privacy space off-guard. 

Moxie earned the trust of the community by consistently delivering high standards that protected the privacy rights of users. Can the app still be trusted to maintain those high standards now that Moxie is no longer at the helm?  

In this video we’ll dive into the history of Signal, and reveal the surprising background of one of the team members who will be carrying the torch forward.

You don't need to throw out all your digital devices to reclaim some privacy in the digital age.

ESSENTIAL Privacy Tools

Hidden code in certain apps has been sending your data to... a US Intelligence defense contractor??

Apparently app creators were PAID to put an SDK from Measurement Systems into their app, which harvested data like precise location, email, and phone numbers, nearby computers and mobile devices, information that is stored in the phone’s clipboard including passwords, and it had the ability to scan parts of the phone’s file system, including specifically the files stored in the WhatsApp downloads folder.

According to the WSJ, the company collecting the data "is linked through corporate records and web registrations to a Virginia defense contractor that does cyber intelligence, network-defense and intelligence-intercept work for U.S. national-security agencies."

We give you all the details.

Apple’s iCloud Private Relay was unveiled in the middle of last year, and it made a big splash in the tech community. It makes browsing using Safari, Apple’s web browser, more private and anyone who has a paid iCloud account can turn it on. For the average user, it seems to be a huge step forward for privacy. 

But does this mean you should add it to your security toolbox?

We’ll dive into how private relay works, all the pros and cons, and how it compares to VPNs and Tor, so that you can decide whether it’s the right fit for you.

Apple's Private Relay: better than a VPN?

When traveling, your device may be at risk of confiscation by authorities, and that means a lot of your sensitive data is at risk. 

In our previous video we discussed how to keep your data safe, and one tool we mentioned is called "phone pair-locking". This prevents a forensics machine from connecting to your device to analyze it, and also prevents anyone making a copy of your phone. 

In this video, we will take you step by step through the process of locking your phone to a trusted computer. 

WARNING: This process will permanently wipe all data from your phone, so proceed with caution!
NOTE: This process is only available for iOS devices

Phone Pair-Lock Tutorial: BLOCK Phone Searches!

Many of us are finally waking up to how important privacy is, and yet we don't think twice when we swipe our credit card.

Each time we opt to pay with plastic, our data is shared by our banks, the card network, the store, the point of sale system, the retailer's bank, our financial apps. And then all those entities share it with thousands more.

In this video we dive into financial privacy, and give you a glimpse of how much information gets shared about you through your financial choices. 

We also look at why it's risky to use traditional financial tools when making donations to causes you care about, and dive into 2 groups that are innovating in the donation world.

When it comes to supporting causes that you believe in, crypto can be a powerful tool. It can make your contribution more private, make sure the money actually reaches its destination. and it's accessible to anyone in the world. The more we dive into this world, the more we fight against financial surveillance.

Adding a security system to your home might not be a bad idea. But what kind of security system? And are there any that are truly secure and privacy-preserving? 

We dive into a bunch of popular home security cameras, and how they they compare in terms of privacy.

00:00 Intro

Spoiler alert, privacy doesn’t seem to be a focus of home security companies. It's also surprisingly difficult to find information about how private and secure each system is. But hopefully there are some solutions here that fit your threat model, and if not, we'll dive into a more complicated but private setup in an upcoming video!

The MOST and LEAST Private Home Cameras

https://youtu.be/a2RjbvMES-0
https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/DNS-v6-ODYSEE:1

Your home internet has a privacy problem! DNS, or Domain Name System, is the lookup system responsible for converting human-readable domain names like google.com into IP addresses, which is the format that computers need to communicate with each other. But in this process, a LOT of data is leaked about your internet activities, and collected by all kinds of entities like ISPs and government organizations.

In this video, we’ll explain how DNS works, and how to set up your DNS to make your internet browsing far more private.

00:00 Intro
00:37 What is DNS?
01:09 How Does DNS Work?
07:02 Privacy Concerns
09:07 How to Protect DNS Queries
10:14 Quad9
13:50 How to Switch to Quad9
15:33 Conclusion

DNS privacy is a critical part of your home network security. Take 5 minutes to create more private DNS settings.

We presume what we search for on the internet stays private. But you might be leaking all of your internet activity through something called a DNS request. It's possible that every site you want to visit is being collected and sold by your ISP, or monitored by countless other entities.

In this video we review what DNS is, and explain how to encrypt your DNS requests, to stop unwanted snooping on your internet activity.

00:53 What is DNS?
03:48 Protecting Your DNS?

Protecting DNS privacy should be a part of everyone's online safety practices. We want to be able to navigate the internet safely and with the peace of mind that not everything we're doing is under constant surveillance. 

As always, we have no partnership with Quad9 or any other company, we just like to spread awareness of tools that we think will help people preserve their rights online. You can support our free educational content here:

Our computers constantly talk to servers across the internet without us realizing, sharing information about our activities. Most of us don't even realize how many programs are silently connecting to the internet and sharing data. It usually happens without our explicit consent. 

But we can block these connections. On Mac, you can use a program called Little Snitch.

In this video we look at the data is silently transmitted from our computer through things like telemetry, and show you how to use Little Snitch to regain control over the data leaving your computer.

01:39 Data Leaving Your Computer
04:02 Little Snitch Walkthrough
10:13 Bazzell’s Settings
10:35 A Note About Alerts and Rules
11:48 Conclusion

Using a reverse firewall like Little Snitch can be very revealing about how much data is silently being transmitted from our computer. Simply becoming aware of this can help us make better decisions with the tech we use.

Our suggestions come from privacy expert Michael Bazzell, and we highly recommend you check out his site: https://inteltechniques.com/blog/2021/08/18/macos-telemetry-update

Little Snitch can be found here: obdev.at
There is a similar product that apparently doesn't have the same granular functionality but is free called Lulu. I haven't tested it though, so you're on your own there!

AI is already deeply integrated into our daily digital activities, whether we realize it or not, but it's a double-edged sword: On the one hand it can skyrocket our productivity and skillset. On the other, there are often serious privacy concerns to using it. 
Do you want to be able to use AI tools, without worrying that companies are collecting everything you're doing? In this video, I talk to two experts working on the privacy side of AI. We discuss the privacy risks of using AI, and how to protect ourselves -- exploring some of the most private platforms and looking at best practices.

18:22 Risks and Best Practices
22:10 Are you a priv/acc?

Especially in an age of AI, we need to be more mindful than ever of the consequences of leaking all of our data in online interactions. Luckily there are plenty of ways we can better protect our privacy. Including by making privacy-conscious choices when we use AI tools themselves. Caring about privacy doesn’t mean we have to give up modern technology. Even privacy-conscious people can enjoy AI tools in their lives!

How To Use AI PRIVATELY

https://youtu.be/sb6u-TpV-JA
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/BRENDAN-EICH:9

As we rushed into the Web 2 era, privacy was left behind. There was a naive view that users could consent to something that was impossible to understand. The result was tracking and monitoring of every activity.

I chatted to Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript, Co-Founder of Brave, and the Co-founder of Mozilla. We talk about how the privacy landscape evolved on the internet, and the future of our technology-driven world.

00:00 The Serfs Have to Band Together!
00:51 Why Privacy Matters
04:30 Privacy Nihilism
06:29 The Rise of Extensions
11:48 Brave and Ads
15:06 Privacy is Now Marketable
16:31 Bridging the Divide Between Users
19:58 They Are Profiling You
21:50 Incentive for Government Control
23:30 Tech Optimism
24:48 Users Matter Most
28:57 Companies Can Make a Big Difference
31:47 UBlock Origin and Google
33:23 There is No End to Security
36:14 Braves Large Movement of Users
37:37 Decentralization Pays Off
38:00 Users Can Tilt Markets
38:55 What the Future Holds
39:39 Privacy Acceleration

We need more tools that make it possible to not only maintain privacy, but to still have a user-friendly experience at the same time. We, as users, need to fight back and demand it.

“I have nothing to hide”.
It’s become a default response from many to overreaching surveillance.
When did privacy start being about having something to hide? It used to simply be about having the right to decide for ourselves who gets access to our data. But over the past decade we’ve lost that choice, and so much of our personal and sensitive information is shared without our knowledge or explicit consent. 

In this video I want to give you a list of arguments you can use in response to anyone who dismisses the importance of privacy because they “have nothing to hide”.

00:00 “I Have Nothing To Hide”
01:33 Privacy is About Consent
02:35 Nothing to Hide, Everything to Protect
04:34 Privacy is NOT Dead
05:18 Your Data Is Forever
06:03 It’s Not About You
08:14 Uncertain Future
10:10 Surveillance Stifles Creativity and Dissent
11:30 Surveillance Isn’t About Criminals
12:29 Your Data Puts Others at Risk
14:25 You Send A Signal With Your Choices
16:21 A Fight We Can’t Afford to Lose

Surveillance is a weapon that is too often used to silence opposition, suppress individuality, and enforce conformity. Privacy is what allows us to think, act, and connect without fear. Without privacy, we lose the ability to dissent, to innovate, and to live freely. The next time someone says, “I have nothing to hide,” remind them of this: Privacy isn’t about hiding. It’s about protecting your rights, your choices, and your future.

“I Have Nothing to Hide” – The Dangerous Myth About Privacy

It’s easy to feel pessimistic, even hopeless, about the future of privacy in a world so deeply intertwined with technology. This is because we’ve been tricked into thinking that powerful technology can only be wielded by powerful entities who want to spy on us.

But I’m very much a techno-optimist. In this video I’ll explain why I believe that we have all the tools at our disposal to write a better future. I’ll also go over some groundbreaking innovations currently in development coming to our near future.

In this new digital world of mass surveillance, we’re far from powerless – we have every reason to feel energized and excited. For the first time, we have both the technology and the cultural momentum to take back our privacy. But we’ll only win it if we stop demonizing technology, and understand that it’s only by harnessing the powerful privacy tech at our disposal, building more of it, and incorporating it into our daily lives can we actually break free from our surveillance shackles.

00:00 I’m a technophile. You wouldn’t think so, though

Why I’m A Techno-Optimist

https://youtu.be/E9iPKu1v7os
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/year-in-censorship:f

On Dec 31st, 2024 I was invited on to Al Jazeera to discuss internet censorship, the new Australian ban on children under 16 from accessing social media, and whether banning TikTok will help prevent the spreading of misinformation.

00:00 Everyone Is Trying to Hijack Our Attention
00:38 Introduction to The Stream
00:54 Censorship is a Government-Led Effort
02:51 The Curious Case of TikTok Bans
05:03 It is Never About The Children

Governments, data brokers, and social media companies have a vested interest in filling their giant databases with our information and we know that they can’t protect it. There are data breaches every single day. Former president of Cisco John Chambers once said, “there are two types of companies in the world, those that have been hacked and those that don’t yet realize they have been hacked”. We need to start taking back the narrative that these entities know what is best for our data, and our lives, or else we risk an Orwellian future we will not be able to reverse.

Special Thanks to Al Jazeera and The Stream for inviting me back on the show!

Did you know you can use Signal without sharing your phone number with other users? Signal introduced usernames last year, but many people still don’t realize how they work—some mistake them for their profile name, and figuring out how to share or search for usernames can be confusing. Here’s what you need to know: how usernames work, how to set yours up, how to find others, and the privacy benefits (and limitations) of this new feature.

00:00 Signal’s Game-Changing Privacy Upgrade

08:27 Final Thoughts – Why This Feature Matters

Signal’s username feature is a big step forward for privacy, helping us move away from phone numbers and take control over the information we share. If you haven’t set up your username yet, now’s the perfect time. And the best part? You can change it anytime, as often as you like.

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/UK-Vs-Apple:a

In an unprecedented attack on global privacy, the UK government secretly ordered Apple to create a backdoor into its Advanced Data Protection (ADP)—the encryption tool designed to protect your most sensitive iCloud data. Instead of quietly complying, Apple publicly disabled ADP entirely for UK users. By doing this, Apple alerted the world to the secret order—but it also left UK users vulnerable. Their backups, photos, notes, and more are now accessible to the government.

In this video, you'll learn exactly what Apple data is no longer private, and discover privacy-focused alternatives for your files, photos, emails, notes, and more. The UK government is fishing for your personal information—now’s the time to ramp up your protections and take control of your digital life.

00:00 An Unprecedented Attack
03:24 What Kind of Data is Affected
03:57 Safari Bookmarks Alternatives
04:34 iCloud Drive Alternatives
05:38 Notes Alternatives
06:06 Reminder Alternatives
06:35 Voice Memo Alternatives
07:08 Email Alternatives
07:37 Contacts Alternatives
08:10 Calendar Alternatives
08:38 Important Note About ADP
09:55 The Privacy Battle Ahead

Apple’s removal of Advanced Data Protection in response to the UK's demands is unprecedented among major democracies. If privacy matters to you, it’s time to move your sensitive data away from iCloud—and potentially other major providers targeted by similar government demands—to privacy-first alternatives. Protect your information before it's too late.

The UK Govt Just Killed Your iCloud Privacy – Here's What to Do

https://youtu.be/Zo9qHqTDcgM
https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Graphene-Install:e

Your phone is a tracking device. But it doesn’t have to be.
One of the best ways to reclaim your privacy is to ditch iOS and stock Android and install GrapheneOS instead.

This guide is a step-by-step tutorial on converting a Pixel phone to GrapheneOS, tweaking key settings for maximum privacy, and installing apps—including how to handle Google Play Services after setup. If you want to eliminate as much of Google as possible from your device but still need certain apps that require Google Play Services, we’ll show you how to use it in a more privacy-preserving way.

I’ll walk you through how I set up my GrapheneOS device so you can see what’s possible. But this is just one way to do it—if you have your own setup, share your tips in the comments!

00:00 Spyware is all over our smartphones
01:47 Hardware
03:03 Purchase
05:13 Installation
10:24 Setup
13:33 App Stores
19:32 Secondary Profiles
23:46 Your Phone, Your Rules

As difficult as it may seem, it’s actually not that difficult to enjoy all the benefits of a smartphone without compromising your privacy. Remember, privacy isn’t about going off grid; it’s about making informed choices; and with GrapheneOS, you’re taking control of your device, your data, and your digital freedom.

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/dont-migrate-from-backup:f

Every time we upgrade our devices, we face a choice: migrate everything from the old one or start fresh. While transferring data may seem convenient, it also means hauling along unnecessary ‘digital exhaust’—outdated apps, clutter, and potential privacy risks. In this video, I’ll show you why starting from scratch is smarter for both your security and sanity and share some essential tips for setting up a new device. My goal is to help you enjoy a less cluttered, more private, and more intentional digital life.

10:02 My Thoughts on Restoring From Backup

When people ask me questions like, how to restore from a backup, my answer is usually: don’t. Yes, there are costs to starting fresh; but there are also costs from restoring from a backup. By investing a bit of extra effort up front, you’ll enjoy a cleaner, more private, and ultimately more efficient digital environment—one you truly control.

Why I NEVER Restore From Backup

You installed them to make life easier. But some browser extensions are doing a lot more than blocking ads or autofilling passwords.

They’re reading every keystroke. Tracking every site. Harvesting your data—and in some cases, handing it over to foreign governments or draining your crypto wallets.

In this video, we expose the chilling truth about browser extensions.
You'll see real-world cases of extensions that were hacked, sold, or designed from the start to exploit users.
And we’ll break down why just checking permissions isn’t enough—because malicious extensions often ask for the same permissions as the good ones. It’s not about what they ask for. It’s how they use it.

00:00 Extensions can do WHAT
00:52 Overview
01:34 The Problem with Browser Extensions
09:18 How Do We Protect Ourselves
10:52 Understand Permissions
16:03 Grant Fewer Permissions
16:18 Use Extensions Sparingly
17:10 Use a Private Browser
18:06 Least Privilege
18:28 Use Code Review Tools
19:07 In Summary

Extensions are more than just “add-ons.” They have access to everything you do online.
Before you install another one, watch this video.

Last week, $1 billion of bitcoin was seized by the DOJ, money that a hacker allegedly stole from the Silk Road in 2012.
 
The hacker's lawyer calls him a "modern-day Robin Hood".
But a couple of things to keep in mind:
1) The Hacker was most likely coerced to hand over the keys under heavy duress
2) The money was given to the DOJ so that they can continue their war on p̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶ drugs, sending non-violent people to jail. Possibly the least noble use of the money I can think of.

And I still have a LOT of questions about what actually took place.
