NBTV: Your Money, Your Data, Your Life

'Privacy is impractical.'
'Concessions are necessary.'
'Be realistic.'
These views about becoming mainstream. And they're wrong. Here's why limits on privacy are never a price worth paying for adoption, no matter how reasonable the argument sounds.

04:30 The Machine We Built
08:24 No More Compromises
09:40 The Debate
10:54 Privacy Enables Freedom
11:20 Shifting Baselines
11:54 False Company Claims
12:37 Security Risks
13:39 In Closing

This debate is not about whether limiting privacy can accelerate growth. It is about whether trading long-term freedom for short-term scale is a price we should be willing to pay, and the answer is no. Because what's at stake is security, freedom, and human dignity, and the cost of losing that in society for future generations is too high.

I just recently went to a website to set up a new account, and it wouldn't let me proceed without giving them a cell number. Not a VoIP number, it demanded a real cell number, associated with a SIM. I actually don't have one, because I don't have a SIM in my phone. On top of that, there are many reasons why someone might not want to hand out their cell number to everyone. 

What should someone do in a situation like this? In this video I'll explain what you can do if someone asks for your cell number, and you don't want to give it to them. We'll talk about VoIP alternatives, and different methods for keeping your data protected.

00:00 Actually, I do not have a cell number

07:39 Pre-Paid SIM Tactic
08:16 Why Providers Block VoIP
10:57 The Cell to VoIP Trick
12:58 Dispense with the Formalities

Stop handing out your real cell number by default. Use the alternatives when you can. Make minimal disclosure the norm. Small changes like this reduce your exposure, and they remind companies that access to you isn’t a right. It’s something you get to choose.

Modern smartphones are some of the most locked down consumer devices that have ever existed. Computers are less secure, and you downgrade your security when you link a privacy focused app, like Signal, to a less secure environment. You are effectively taking a very well protected environment, your phone, and extending trust to a much weaker one. For some people it will be worth it, but it's important to understand the tradeoffs.

Security always collapses to the weakest link. That does not mean that Signal desktop is bad. It simply means desktops are inherently riskier environments. So the next time you link a high security tool to a less secure environment, be sure to understand the tradeoffs.

Email is closer to a digital postcard than a sealed letter, and mainstream providers like Gmail read and analyze everything that's inside. Unfortunately, email isn’t going anywhere in our society because it’s baked into how the digital world communicates; but luckily there are ways to make your emails more private. One tool that you can use is called PGP. In this video, I'll explain what PGP is, and show you how providers like Protonmail make it super easy to encrypt the contents of every email you send.

14:56 Phil Zimmerman and The Ludlow Institute

Phil Zimmerman said in his original PGP user guide text “Why I Wrote PGP” in 1991 that: “PGP empowers people to take their privacy into their own hands. There has been a growing social need for it". That statement remains even more resounding today. The builders of privacy tools risk a lot in order to create the tools that protect us all. It's up to us to use them.
