WHY Snowden Says Don’t Use WiFi: RESPONSE VIDEO (2021)
from NBTV: Your Money, Your Data, Your Life · host Naomi Brockwell
Snowden once tweeted:"I wouldn't use WiFi at home, because global maps of every wireless access point's unique ID—including yours—are free and constantly updated. I would use ethernet; yes, ethernet on a phone."A while ago I made a video that explained why you should never turn your phone into a hotspot, and why wifi is less secure than a wired ethernet connection. It was shocking to me how much data we're sending out via radio-waves without realizing.The video went viral with over a MILLION views! And there have been so many FANTASTIC questions and comments that I felt it warranted a follow up response video. This new video also updates, clarifies and corrects some information that was not 100% explained the first time around.Watch the first video here: https://youtu.be/KXEe2kqiYIMWatch this video on LBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Snowden-says-dont-use-wifi-RESPONSE-VIDEO:e?r=65CZ4khtLVosPYvDbjTstVZydgm3NDF8Map site referenced: Wigle.netGreat article: https://osintcurio.us/2019/01/15/tracking-all-the-wifi-things/Huge thank you to Andy for his help with the research for this video!Edited by Lee RennieTo make a tax-deductible (in the US) donation to my channel, visit https://cointr.ee/nbtvSign up for the free cryptobeat newsletter here:https://Naomibrockwell.com/cryptobeatBeware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.
