America's Secret Database 11.07.2026

https://youtu.be/1nKGNcj32L8 https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/FISA:9a FISA is a sweeping surveillance authority that allows the warrantless surveillance of Americans in the name of national security. It was originally created to stop intelligence agencies from spying on people in the US without oversight. But over time, the guardrails came off. And the man who helped build some of those guardr...

Fix Proton Search 19.06.2026

https://youtu.be/cmXTreZ-pH0 https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Proton-settings:c Is Proton Mail search broken? Not at all!

In this video, I'll show you exactly how to: - Enable local email search in Proton Mail - Understand the key differences betwee...

Is the Government Running a Dragnet on VPN Users? 22.05.2026

https://youtu.be/hV9QEVf6CgI Wyden has asked the government to warn Americans that the very tool millions use to protect their privacy may be used as a mass surveillance tool against them. He says "Warn Americans how government are treating VPNs." When Wyden asks pointed questions in public, it's usually because of something he can't say out loud. Remember his Senate hearing in...

Stop Plugging Your Phone Into Things 08.05.2026

https://youtu.be/nJP_iHaoRfQ https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/USB-Data-Blocker:a That USB port on the plane or in your car? It's not just a power outlet, it's a computer. And every time you plug in, you're potentially handing it a two-way connection to your phone: power going in, and your data going out. In this video, I break down why plugging your phone into random USB ports c...

The Surveillance Accountability Act Fixes This 25.04.2026

https://youtu.be/60IKOar3kY8 https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/surveillance-accountability-act:5 The federal government is spying on you, and they're doing it without a warrant. Ludlow Institute helped create a bill to fix this. 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 int...

Spoiler: It's Not You 13.04.2026

The third-party doctrine is an outdated legal rule, created in an era before smartphones, before the internet, before our private lives became data.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 wha...

These Searches Used To Be Illegal... 30.03.2026

https://youtu.be/hPALUKCaARs https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/warrants:8 Warrants are one of the most powerful checks on government power ever invented. 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 vide...

Stop Using Non-Private USBs 13.03.2026

https://youtu.be/KvYaXBiyUQc https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Encrypted-USBs:e Storing sensitive files on a normal USB drive is like writing your diary on a sticky note and leaving it in a taxi. 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 m...

The Argument Against Privacy That Sounds Smart But Isn't 27.02.2026

https://youtu.be/-kpAFTj-x7g https://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 Salon 0...

Stop Giving Out Your Cell Number. Here's Why. 14.02.2026

https://youtu.be/J8WjPA_Fc7k https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Cell-vs-voip:9 I just recently went to a website to set up a new account, and it wouldn't let me proceed without giving them a cell number. 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 I Don't Link Signal To My Computer 30.01.2026

https://youtu.be/SIRde_NYoCw https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Desktop-vs-computer:f Modern 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 ex...

https://youtu.be/70azaXOhjpI https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/PGP:4 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 to...

In this video, we expose the coor...
