The UK Wants Your ID To Use The Internet
The UK just confirmed it's doubling down on the under-16 social media ban, and VPN restrictions might be next. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans say they support social media bans for minors, and almost none of them have been told what age verification actually costs: uploading your ID to reach the same platforms that never changed. In this video I break down the UK's VPN restriction proposal, why age verification and online age gates always expand beyond kids, what Australia's under-16 ban actually accomplished, and why banning users instead of fixing exploitative platform design protects nobody.🔗 SOURCES & LINKS• Proton VPN Kickback Link: https://go.getproton.me/SH12P• Proton VPN: https://protonvpn.com/🔎 RELATED VIDEOShttps://youtu.be/i_B3BuRb3eQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuLdd07P1II🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech/• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Our Recommended Tools: https://tools.techlore.tech/• Take Our SPA Quiz: https://quiz.techlore.tech/• Learn more on our SPA Wiki: https://wiki.techlore.tech/• VPN Finder: https://vpn.techlore.tech/⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 THE FIGHT CONTINUES00:30 THE UK TEASING VPN RESTRICTIONS03:30 MAJORITY OF US ADULTS SUPPORT THESE BANS06:32 THE REAL (IGNORED) ISSUES THAT NEED SOLVING#VPNBan #uk #usa...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5ScjMGfIUU

Meta AI Disaster: How Hackers Stole High-Profile Accounts
Attackers were taking over Instagram accounts by matching a target's region with a VPN, starting a password reset, and simply asking Meta's AI support chatbot to change the account's email...that was the entire attack.

School Buses Are Becoming Roaming Surveillance Vehicles

How to Tell if an App Is Actually Secure (Most Aren't)
Most apps claiming to be "private and secure" are using language that sounds meaningful but commits to almost nothing.

What Google Is Really Doing With Your Data (DuckDuckGo Interview)
Most people know DuckDuckGo as a search engine, but they're also creating a full privacy ecosystem covering a browser, VPN, data broker removal, and app tracking protection. In this Techlore Talks interview, Henry sits down with Peter Dolanjski, Director of Product at DuckDuckGo, to cover what Google is actually collecting, why incognito mode doesn't do what most people think, how DuckDuckGo's contextual ads differ from Google's behavioral targeting, and more.🔗 SOURCES & LINKS• DuckDuckGo: https://duckduckgo.com• Duck AI: https://duck.ai• No-AI DuckDuckGo: https://noai.duckduckgo.com• DuckDuckGo Privacy Policy: https://duckduckgo.com/privacy🔎 RELATED VIDEOShttps://youtu.be/eOgSMsN3ItYhttps://youtu.be/vBTP8cSxIVc🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Privacy Tools: https://privacytools.techlore.tech/• VPN Comparison Chart: https://vpn.techlore.tech/⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00:00 INTRO00:01:20 PETER'S BACKGROUND AT MOZILLA00:02:56 EXPLAINING THE ROLE00:06:05 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU USE GOOGLE00:11:31 ILLEGAL GOVERNMENT DATA ACQUISITION00:14:32 "DO NOT TRACK ME" & INCOGNITO MODE00:16:29 GOOGLE VS.

Stop Using Google Search (Use These Instead)

Why the Government Can Read Your Emails Without a Warrant
Law enforcement needs a warrant to walk into your house, but they can pull years of your emails, location data, and private messages without one. @NaomiBrockwellTV breaks down how a 1970s case about how a telephone booth (and the "third party doctrine" the courts built on top of it) became the legal foundation for modern digital surveillance, and how it carries over poorly into big tech companies like Google. Plus: explaining "bailment" as a better model for the digital age.This is a clip from our full interview with @NaomiBrockwellTV Watch the complete conversation here: https://youtu.be/0_hlkmpw1sk🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Privacy Tools: https://privacytools.techlore.tech/• VPN Comparison Chart: https://vpn.techlore.tech/#googleprivacy #privacy #naomi...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-7SXjk09uU

Signal Might Leave Canada Over This
Canada's Bill C-22 is being sold as "encryption neutral" lawful access legislation, but Signal's already threatened to pull out of the country over it, and Apple and Meta are publicly opposed. Here's what the bill actually does and why it's a problem even if you don't live in Canada, and why setting this precedent now could leak into encryption fights worldwide. End-to-end encrypted messaging is the closest thing the digital world has to a private conversation in your living room. This bill puts a hole in the wall.This is a clip from our Surveillance Report podcast, watch the complete episode here: https://youtu.be/uDrsXsx0i00🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Privacy Tools: https://privacytools.techlore.tech/• VPN Comparison Chart: https://vpn.techlore.tech/#signal #encryption #canada...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dB5-XC3wEc

Why Your Calls to Congress Matter More Than You Think
"Contact your reps" sounds like wishful thinking, until you understand how laws actually get passed. @NaomiBrockwellTV explains the two ways politicians get reelected (campaign donations from lobbyists, and constituents who'll punish them at the ballot box), why 10 calls is genuinely enough to get a rep briefed on an issue, and why the political fight matters even if you think tech is what will ultimately save technology.This is a clip from our full interview with @NaomiBrockwellTV Watch the complete conversation here: https://youtu.be/0_hlkmpw1sk🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Privacy Tools: https://privacytools.techlore.tech/• VPN Comparison Chart: https://vpn.techlore.tech/#politics #privacy #naomi...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyUGW56MCNQ

Why Decentralized Tech Doesn't Guarantee Privacy
Decentralized tech promises freedom from gatekeepers, but if you don't know how to use it privately, individuals can still be targeted even when the system itself can't be shut down. @NaomiBrockwellTV explains why pseudonymity was never the same as privacy, how Bitcoin's "just don't link your real-world identity" advice was always flawed, and what the Web3 world is finally starting to wake up to.Watch the full interview: https://youtu.be/0_hlkmpw1sk🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Privacy Tools: https://privacytools.techlore.tech/• VPN Comparison Chart: https://vpn.techlore.tech/#decentralized #privacy #techlore...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY2EGAhQd3g

You Can't Opt Out: The Surveillance Accountability Act (Naomi Brockwell Interview)
