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.

Think before you share
https://youtu.be/gGva7O3czg0https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/without-consent:5Your child already has a digital footprint—before they can even speak. But they didn’t create it. You did.Every photo you post, every milestone you share, helps train facial recognition systems and build psychological profiles your child will carry for life. These profiles are sold, scored, and used by companies and governments—long before your child is old enough to understand what privacy even means.In this video, we break down how seemingly harmless posts can fuel surveillance systems, shape algorithmic risk scores, and impact your child’s future—from school to jobs to border crossings.00:00 Kids Have No Choice01:08 Data Brokers Are Watching Your Kids01:35 How Children Are Profiled02:31 One Possible Future03:32 Child ID Theft03:50 The Dangers of Toys and Devices05:34 Baby Monitors06:19 Data Collection in Schools06:35 Risks of Hand-Me-Down Tech06:51 Parental Surveillance Apps10:02 Tips to Protect Kids in the Digital Age12:28 Give Your Kids a Fighting ChanceThis isn’t about guilt.

How To Make Your Mac PRIVATE
https://youtu.be/1g0RzOGxe40Step-by-Step Privacy Hardening:Apple is better than Microsoft and Google when it comes to privacy—but they still collect way too much of your data. If you want the strongest digital privacy, Linux is the gold standard. But if you're not ready to make the switch just yet, you can still dramatically improve your Mac’s privacy.In this video, we walk you through privacy expert Michael Bazzell’s recommended macOS setup—from purchasing a device (without linking it to your identity), to reformatting, disabling invasive features, and installing the right tools.00:00 Apple promises only THEY will abuse your data02:20 Purchasing Your Mac03:14 Choose a Model03:41 Used Devices: Update, Reformat, Install OS08:28 Initial Setup11:32 WiFi and Bluetooth11:50 OS Firewall13:14 Notifications14:16 Airdrop, Siri, and Sharing15:33 Gatekeeper18:26 Analytics and Ads19:01 Time20:15 Filevault22:02 Dock, Wallpaper and Finder25:35 Application Firewall / 3rd Party Apps28:09 ConclusionApple does build decent privacy tools—but they definitely don’t make it easy to opt out of their own surveillance. With the right tools and configurations, though, you can take back control of your digital environment. Whether you're doing sensitive work or simply believe in the right to privacy, these steps put you in charge.Special Thanks to Michael Bazzell for leading the way in tech privacy and research!

DON'T Install That Extension!
https://youtu.be/11P6DdI8HOohttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Extensions:6You installed them to make life easier. But some browser extensions are doing a lot more than blocking ads or autofilling passwords.They’re reading every keystroke. Tracking every site. Harvesting your data—and in some cases, handing it over to foreign governments or draining your crypto wallets.In this video, we expose the chilling truth about browser extensions.You'll see real-world cases of extensions that were hacked, sold, or designed from the start to exploit users.And we’ll break down why just checking permissions isn’t enough—because malicious extensions often ask for the same permissions as the good ones. It’s not about what they ask for. It’s how they use it.00:00 Extensions can do WHAT00:52 Overview01:34 The Problem with Browser Extensions09:18 How Do We Protect Ourselves10:52 Understand Permissions16:03 Grant Fewer Permissions16:18 Use Extensions Sparingly17:10 Use a Private Browser18:06 Least Privilege18:28 Use Code Review Tools19:07 In SummaryExtensions are more than just “add-ons.” They have access to everything you do online.Before you install another one, watch this video.Special thanks to John Tuckner, Matt Frisbee and Pete Snyder for sharing their expert first-hand knowledge with us!Brought to you by Lee Rennie, Cube Boy, Will Sandoval, Jack Rhysider, 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.
