    Is Proton Mail search broken? Not at all! The issue is that Proton can't read your encrypted inbox - and you probably haven't enabled the privacy-first local search setting. In this video, I'll show you exactly how to:
    - Enable local email search in Proton Mail
    - Understand the key differences between desktop and mobile search
    - Configure a bunch of other essential privacy settings I use in my own account

    00:00 Proton Search is NOT Broken
    00:53 Search
    03:17 Import
    03:48 Image Privacy Settings
    05:52 Other Settings
    08:16 Just One Of Many Private Email Options

    Proton Mail is just one of the privacy-focused email providers out there, and they offer significantly better privacy than mainstream providers. These settings will help you make the most of your transition to better email.

    Is the Government Running a Dragnet on VPN Users?

    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 2013? Don't worry, we'll remind you.

    So what does Wyden know? And should you still be using a VPN?

    Stop Plugging Your Phone Into Things

    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 can be risky, how attackers can use these connections to steal data or install malware ("juice jacking"), and how a cheap little gadget called a USB data blocker protects you.

    01:08 Why You Shouldn’t Plug Into Unknown Ports
    03:21 Risk of Unintended Data Transfer
    05:22 What Is A USB Data Blocker
    05:56 How Does it Work
    08:44 The Exchange

    Relying on being perfectly patched and attentive at all times is a bad strategy, especially when you can instead just block the data path and move on for less than the price of a cup of coffee.

    The Surveillance Accountability Act Fixes This

    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 introduce H.R. 8470 — the Surveillance Accountability Act, a landmark bill designed to restore the Fourth Amendment in the digital age.

    00:00 - We need to stop warrantless surveillance
    02:04 - TOP SECRET SPYING he can't tell you about
    04:47 - Naomi and Ludlow's work on this bill
    06:09 - Modern day abuse of power
    08:27 - SAA puts an end to unconstitutional spying
    09:17 - WHAT THE FLOCK?
    10:01 - Fed are BUYING your data
    12:08 - The FISA debate misses ALL THIS SPYING
    13:03 - We're about to lose our country
    14:24 - We're running out of time before we reach panopticon

    The Surveillance Accountability Act closes the loopholes, ends warrantless data purchases, and for the first time creates a private right of action allowing Americans to personally sue federal agents who violate their constitutional rights.

    Spoiler: It's Not You

    13/04/2026 | 22 mins.
    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 what the third-party doctrine actually is, how it works in a digital world, and why it has to go.

    00:00 Yes, The Government CAN Do That

    14:09 How We Solve This
    16:40 Bailment: The Most Important Term You've Never Heard Of
    19:52 Congress Needs to Step In

    The lie at the heart of the third-party doctrine is that it tells us that participating in modern life means surrendering the protections we were supposed to have against government searches. Let's remind people that in the constitution it says that searches require warrants.
