NBTV: Your Money, Your Data, Your Life

But they didn’t create it. You did. Every photo you post, every milestone you share, helps train facial recognition systems and build psychological profiles your child will carry for life. These profiles are sold, scored, and used by companies and governments—long before your child is old enough to understand what privacy even means. In this video, we break down how seemingly harmless posts can fuel surveillance systems, shape algorithmic risk scores, and impact your child’s future—from school to jobs to border crossings. 00:00 Kids Have No Choice 01:08 Data Brokers Are Watching Your Kids 01:35 How Children Are Profiled 02:31 One Possible Future 03:32 Child ID Theft 03:50 The Dangers of Toys and Devices 05:34 Baby Monitors 06:19 Data Collection in Schools 06:35 Risks of Hand-Me-Down Tech 06:51 Parental Surveillance Apps 10:02 Tips to Protect Kids in the Digital Age 12:28 Give Your Kids a Fighting Chance This isn’t about guilt. It’s about awareness. And it’s about protecting their right to grow up without being boxed in by a digital past they never chose. Learn how to limit your child’s data exposure, push back against normalization of surveillance, and give your kids a clean slate.

https://youtu.be/1g0RzOGxe40 [https://youtu.be/1g0RzOGxe40] Step-by-Step Privacy Hardening: Apple is better than Microsoft and Google when it comes to privacy—but they still collect way too much of your data. If you want the strongest digital privacy, Linux is the gold standard. But if you're not ready to make the switch just yet, you can still dramatically improve your Mac’s privacy. In this video, we walk you through privacy expert Michael Bazzell’s recommended macOS setup—from purchasing a device (without linking it to your identity), to reformatting, disabling invasive features, and installing the right tools. 00:00 Apple promises only THEY will abuse your data 02:20 Purchasing Your Mac 03:14 Choose a Model 03:41 Used Devices: Update, Reformat, Install OS 08:28 Initial Setup 11:32 WiFi and Bluetooth 11:50 OS Firewall 13:14 Notifications 14:16 Airdrop, Siri, and Sharing 15:33 Gatekeeper 18:26 Analytics and Ads 19:01 Time 20:15 Filevault 22:02 Dock, Wallpaper and Finder 25:35 Application Firewall / 3rd Party Apps 28:09 Conclusion Apple does build decent privacy tools—but they definitely don’t make it easy to opt out of their own surveillance. With the right tools and configurations, though, you can take back control of your digital environment. Whether you're doing sensitive work or simply believe in the right to privacy, these steps put you in charge. Special Thanks to Michael Bazzell for leading the way in tech privacy and research!

But some browser extensions are doing a lot more than blocking ads or autofilling passwords. They’re reading every keystroke. Tracking every site. Harvesting your data—and in some cases, handing it over to foreign governments or draining your crypto wallets. In this video, we expose the chilling truth about browser extensions. You'll see real-world cases of extensions that were hacked, sold, or designed from the start to exploit users. And we’ll break down why just checking permissions isn’t enough—because malicious extensions often ask for the same permissions as the good ones. It’s not about what they ask for. It’s how they use it. 00:00 Extensions can do WHAT 00:52 Overview 01:34 The Problem with Browser Extensions 09:18 How Do We Protect Ourselves 10:52 Understand Permissions 16:03 Grant Fewer Permissions 16:18 Use Extensions Sparingly 17:10 Use a Private Browser 18:06 Least Privilege 18:28 Use Code Review Tools 19:07 In Summary Extensions are more than just “add-ons.” They have access to everything you do online. Before you install another one, watch this video. Special thanks to John Tuckner, Matt Frisbee and Pete Snyder for sharing their expert first-hand knowledge with us!

While transferring data may seem convenient, it also means hauling along unnecessary ‘digital exhaust’—outdated apps, clutter, and potential privacy risks. In this video, I’ll show you why starting from scratch is smarter for both your security and sanity and share some essential tips for setting up a new device. My goal is to help you enjoy a less cluttered, more private, and more intentional digital life. 00:00 Resist Temptation 00:41 App Bloat 01:50 Attack Surface 02:51 Switch Accounts 03:49 ID Tracking 04:17 Ghost Data 05:27 Habit Traps 06:17 Reclaiming Mental Bandwidth 07:14 7 Tips 10:02 My Thoughts on Restoring From Backup When people ask me questions like, how to restore from a backup, my answer is usually: don’t. Yes, there are costs to starting fresh; but there are also costs from restoring from a backup. By investing a bit of extra effort up front, you’ll enjoy a cleaner, more private, and ultimately more efficient digital environment—one you truly control.

But it doesn’t have to be. One of the best ways to reclaim your privacy is to ditch iOS and stock Android and install GrapheneOS instead. This guide is a step-by-step tutorial on converting a Pixel phone to GrapheneOS, tweaking key settings for maximum privacy, and installing apps—including how to handle Google Play Services after setup. If you want to eliminate as much of Google as possible from your device but still need certain apps that require Google Play Services, we’ll show you how to use it in a more privacy-preserving way. I’ll walk you through how I set up my GrapheneOS device so you can see what’s possible. But this is just one way to do it—if you have your own setup, share your tips in the comments! 00:00 Spyware is all over our smartphones 01:47 Hardware 03:03 Purchase 05:13 Installation 10:24 Setup 13:33 App Stores 19:32 Secondary Profiles 23:46 Your Phone, Your Rules As difficult as it may seem, it’s actually not that difficult to enjoy all the benefits of a smartphone without compromising your privacy. Remember, privacy isn’t about going off grid; it’s about making informed choices; and with GrapheneOS, you’re taking control of your device, your data, and your digital freedom.
