https://youtu.be/MtHKGaDA30ghttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Techno-optimism:bIt’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.

https://youtu.be/Hcqh0ZSza50https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/nothing-to-Hide-v7-ODYSEE-20241213-001:a“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 Consent02:35 Nothing to Hide, Everything to Protect04:34 Privacy is NOT Dead05:18 Your Data Is Forever06:03 It’s Not About You08:14 Uncertain Future10:10 Surveillance Stifles Creativity and Dissent11:30 Surveillance Isn’t About Criminals12:29 Your Data Puts Others at Risk14:25 You Send A Signal With Your Choices16:21 A Fight We Can’t Afford to LoseSurveillance 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.Brought to you by NBTV team members: Lee Rennie, Cube Boy, Will Sandoval and Naomi BrockwellTo support NBTV, visit:https://www.nbtv.media/support(tax-deductible in the US)Visit our shop!https://Shop.NBTV.mediaOur eBook "Beginner's Introduction To Privacy:https://amzn.to/3WDSfkuBeware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.
