Have we lost internet freedom forever?
https://youtu.be/E9iPKu1v7oshttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/year-in-censorship:fOn 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 Attention00:38 Introduction to The Stream00:54 Censorship is a Government-Led Effort02:51 The Curious Case of TikTok Bans05:03 It is Never About The ChildrenGovernments, 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!Watch the full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy90CrTr0i0Brought to you by NBTV team members: Lee Rennie, Cube Boy, Sam Ettaro, Will Sandoval and Naomi BrockwellNBTV is a project of the Ludlow Institute, a 501c3 non profit whose mission is to advance freedom through technology.To support NBTV, visit:https://LudlowInstitute.org/donate(As a 501(c)(3) non profit, all donations are tax-deductible in the USA as permitted by law.)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.

Why I’m A Techno-Optimist
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.
