This is the moment the internet changed forever
https://youtu.be/1DwOQwRn8_Yhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/KYC:9A huge portion of the digital world now requires mandatory ID checks.New surveillance laws such as the UK’s Online Safety Act, the EU’s Chat Control proposal, and a wave of US state-level KYC mandates have transformed the internet from an open network into a system of checkpoints and control.In this video, we expose the coordinated attack on privacy happening around the world. We trace how we got here, how platforms were pressured into compliance, and why this wave of regulation is unlike anything we have seen before.00:00 SHOW YOUR PAPERS01:43 UK’s Online Safety Act03:06 A Global Pattern06:11 How Did We Get Here?07:49 What Now?14:05 The SolutionThis landslide of lost freedoms has happened in mere weeks.

She Said "Don’t Write That Down." The Doctor Did Anyway.
https://youtu.be/1PeAfNBNARIhttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Doctor-privacy:4Why doesn’t your doctor’s office feel like a safe place anymore?Most people assume their medical conversations are private. But in the U.S., the moment your doctor enters something into your Electronic Health Record (EHR), it can be legally shared with over 2.2 million entities—often without your knowledge or consent.Did you know there are financial incentives for providers to collect as much data as possible? That’s why they often document details that have nothing to do with your care that day. And if you ask your doctor not to include something in your record? You’ll likely be treated as the difficult one—for simply wanting privacy.Because privacy is no longer the default. The default is feeding your most sensitive information into an opaque system designed to share it with a vast, invisible network of third parties.In this short video, I share a real story from one of our NBTV members who tried to protect her privacy—and was overruled. It’s a revealing look at how medical data is handled, and how little control patients actually have.If you’ve ever felt uneasy during a checkup, this might explain why.00:00 The Reason For This Video00:41 What Most People Do Not Know01:50 Her Doctor DID WHAT02:38 Once Data Leaves Your Hands03:36 Healthcare Systems Are Prime Targets For Hackers05:10 What Should Happen Instead06:22 What We Can Do07:39 YOU GUESSED THE TSHIRT RIGHT! You should be able to go to the doctor and share what’s relevant without wondering who’s going to have access to that information later. The exam room should feel safe, but right now, it doesn’t. That needs to change.Our HIPAA video:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sfIBRTcRpUOdysee: https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/HIPAA:7Special Thanks to Twila Brase, you can find out more about her medical privacy initiatives here:https://www.cchfreedom.org/Brought to you by NBTV team members: Lee Rennie, Will Sandoval and Naomi Brockwell.NBTV 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.

Your TV Is Spying On You and Taking Screenshots
Your Smart TV is spying on you. It’s taking snapshots of everything you watch -- sometimes hundreds per second -- and quietly sending that data to third parties.In this video, we reveal what’s really happening behind the glass:How smart TVs track your behaviorHow that data is used to profile and manipulate youAnd how you can protect yourself.Surveillance has crept into our living rooms. It’s time to draw the line.00:00 TV Is No Longer a Private Activity00:39 Understanding Smart TVs05:30 How Data Is Weaponized08:34 Opaque By Design13:13 What Can We Do16:09 Grants from Ludlow16:33 In SummaryWe never should’ve let faceless companies and governments into our living rooms and bedrooms. The damage is deep, but it’s not irreversible. It starts with awareness. It’s time to blow the lid off the surveillance quietly woven into our lives, and start taking back control.Special thanks to Yash Vekaria and his team for their awesome research.
