NBTV: Your Money, Your Data, Your Life

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 guardrails at the FBI now says the system has gone badly wrong.
In this video, we trace the full history of FISA, from the abuses that created it, to the safeguards that once held it in check, to how it became the legal foundation for one of the most powerful warrantless surveillance systems in America.

10:08 Building the Safeguards
14:20 Dismantling the Safeguards
23:09 The Current Fight
24:26 This Machine Does Not Care Who Inherits It

FISA is a weapon we keep handing forward, trusting that whoever picks it up next will be as restrained as the last person who held it. When you're told to just trust the system, you're not being asked to trust the careful, decent person who built it. You're being asked to trust everyone who will ever hold it after him. Every administration. The politician you'd never vote for. The official who already thinks people like you are the enemy.

The question was never whether we can trust the people in charge today. It's why we built something this dangerous to hand to anyone at all.

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.

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?

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.

00:00 USB Raw Dogging
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.

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.
