    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.

    14:56 Phil Zimmerman and The Ludlow Institute

    Phil 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.
    Dec 19 2025

    https://youtu.be/Fshsk8MCAf4
    https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Samourai:e

    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 Conversation
    00:35 The War on Privacy
    01:35 The Privacy Developer
    14:45 The Privacy Wallet
    20:08 The Arrest
    24:12 The Charges
    38:24 The Judge
    40:43 The Deal
    47:12 The Final Knife Twist
    51:28 The War on Privacy Developers
    56:04 How We Win the War

    If 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. This is happening all over the world, and we need to stand up for the people building the tools that protect us all.

    Extra special thanks to Keonne Rodriguez for spending precious moments of his remaining freedom to give this interview.

  • Reboot Your Device!
    Nov 14 2025

    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…”
    00:32 Disrupt Malware
    01:46 Clear Background Junk
    02:21 Security Updates
    05:38 Strongest Protection
    07:36 Privacy
    09:18 How Often to Reboot
    11:20 Not a Silver Bullet

    Rebooting won't remove persistent threats or root-level implants; however, regularly rebooting your devices IS helpful for improving your security, privacy, and device stability -- and it's incredibly easy!

  • The Creepy Cameras On Every Corner
    Oct 25 2025

    https://youtu.be/IOa9tjoxsQ8
    https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Flock:3

    They’re on street corners, utility poles, even garbage trucks... and they’re tracking everywhere you go.

    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.

    In this video, I explain:
    - How ALPRs work
    - Why this system almost surely violates the Fourth Amendment
    - How we allowed this dragnet surveillance grid to take root
    - And what we can do to push back

    00:00 A Growing Network of Surveillance
    02:30 What are ALPRs
    07:39 Dangers
    11:39 How Did This Happen
    16:01 What Can We Do
    21:38 Benefits vs Costs
    23:28 SECRET Origin Story Time!

    This isn’t just about your car.
    It’s about whether privacy and freedom can still exist outside your front door.
    Freedom of movement isn’t really free if you’re being tracked every step of the way.
    I’m not ready to give that up. Are you?

  • How Surveillance Turns You Into a Puppet of the Internet
    Oct 3 2025

    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
    08:47 Targeting vs Filter Bubbles
    10:05 What We Should Do

    Privacy 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.
