    The Digital Independence They Don't Want You To Have

    https://youtu.be/YZm4NQyk-jU https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/independence:1 This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace by EFF co-founder John Perry Barlow, and also America’s 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. But what does independence means in an age where our digital lives are more controlled than ever? In this video I will walk you through three things:  - the context of the original declaration of independence - the promise of John Perry Barlow’s Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace - the kind of declaration we need today to protect our privacy, autonomy, and independence into the years to come. 00:00 On Behalf of the Future 02:46 Tyranny in 1776 08:14 The Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace 11:26 Privacy Protects Your Independence 14:16 A New Declaration 18:17 What Now? 21:10 Privacy Will Save the Free Internet 22:38 The Declaration Breaking free doesn't require a revolution. It starts with a simple decision. Stop handing over your mind, your money, and your children to systems designed to exploit and control them.  Independence, in 2026, is something you have to choose every single day.

    America's Secret Database

    https://youtu.be/1nKGNcj32L8 https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/FISA:9a 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. 00:00 The FISA Process Got Corrupted 01:16 What is FISA 03:02 The Lead-Up 06:24 What FISA Did 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. NBTV is a project of the Ludlow Institute, a 501c3 non profit whose mission is to advance freedom through technology.

    Is the Government Running a Dragnet on VPN Users?

    https://youtu.be/hV9QEVf6CgI 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? 00:00 The Question That Exposed a Lie 00:30 What is the NSA? 01:22 "Not Wittingly" 02:27 Wyden Already Knew The Answer 03:58 Snowden Was Right 04:57 The Signal Hidden in Plain Sight 05:45 The VPN Loophole 07:22 Massie can't tell you about this top secret spying program 07:38 Should You Still Use One? 08:37 The Real Problem Isn't VPNs 09:43 The Surveillance Accountability Act: Closing the loophole NBTV is a project of the Ludlow Institute, a 501c3 non profit whose mission is to advance freedom through technology.

    Stop Plugging Your Phone Into Things

    https://youtu.be/nJP_iHaoRfQ https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/USB-Data-Blocker:a 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.

    The Surveillance Accountability Act Fixes This

    https://youtu.be/60IKOar3kY8 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

    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 01:22 4th Amendment Review 02:50 3rd Party Doctrine Explained 10:22 The Reasonable Expectation of Privacy Test 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.

    These Searches Used To Be Illegal...

    https://youtu.be/hPALUKCaARs https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/warrants:8 Warrants are one of the most powerful checks on government power ever invented. But in an age where your data is bought from brokers, your movements are tracked by private contractors, and your financial records are collected in bulk… the protections warrants were designed to provide have been quietly gutted. In this video, we break down how warrants actually work, why the founders were obsessed with getting them right, and what's changed in the digital era that should concern everyone. There's a part of every warrant that almost no one talks about — and it's the part that matters most. Once you understand this machinery inside a warrant, you'll never dismiss them as "just paperwork" again. 00:00 The Most Important Thing You've Never Thought About 01:19 What Is A Warrant? 03:40 Footage Of My Ancestor, Judge Naomira Brockwulf  09:07 Why Is A Search Dangerous? 14:02 The Forgotten Amendment 16:01 Actual Footage of the FBI Redefining The Term "Search" 16:19 The FBI Is Buying Your Data 20:19 The Surveillance Accountability Act Special thanks to Rob Frommer and Jim Harper for all their work on 4th Amendment Protections.
