Everything You've Heard about Privacy is Wrong.

[@WarLeopard]

I'm still learning about cyber security, but from my understanding there is no 'Magic Bullet', only risk mitigation. One can only make a system more secure and private, but as the field is rapidly evolving what is secure today may not be tomorrow.

[@BaddBadger]

I wish i had realised this a little quicker!

[@nirgunawish]

opsec is inherently anti-user friendly. There are absolute 100% secure magic bullets but these can only be achieved by controlling EVERYTHING yourself, completely, a single piece of proprietary hardware = failed opsec. there exists barely any libre wireless hardware so say gbye to your wifi. endusers want wifi so channels like techlore that try to be user friendly serve only to spread awareness. this channel is a gateway to distrotube, who is a gateway to mental outlaw, who is a gateway to luke smith, who is a gateway to ditching (proprietary) tech altogether.

[@justin-hurd]

There is no perfect solution no, but there are ways to make your life more secure, such as more complex passwords, 2fa, not using 1 device for everything, not using personal info for everything, and keeping up to date with news on stuff like social media leaks and yt channels like this lovely one!

Gotta say that it really is hard to find privacy focused KZbinrs that can be trusted. As far as I’m concerned, there’s a fine line between channels that fill you in on the fine details vs instil fear. Channel that comes to mind is Rob Bradman Tech. Dude seems extremely knowledgeable, and I don’t doubt that he is, but hate that he tries to sell his own hardware VPN and phones that he installs custom roms on. Also makes a lot of those wild and unproven claims pretty frequently so I’m glad you’re more straightforward without pushing fear with “evil Facebook” or whatever it may be.

[@Slimothy]

As much as I used to enjoy The Hated One, I feel his channel is fragmenting the community a lot with the extremism and bad takes. Techlore has always had a very level-headed approach to Security and Privacy and the understanding that AVERAGE users do not want to solve 8 CAPTCHAs on Tor just to Google a dog breed their Aunt Sally had. That would be the quickest way to discourage average users from embracing privacy, which is the opposite of what we need these days. The more people we can educate about Security and Privacy (even if it's just a little), the higher the chance that they become intrigued, do their own research, come to their own conclusions, and hopefully can then spread the message to other average folks, snowballing the effect. I feel Techlore has always had similar intentions at heart and that's what's so great about this channel. 👍🏻

[@World_Theory]

It's funny that I thought I recently heard in the news that Estonia was advising people not to use certain brands of Chinese phones, including a model of OnePlus phone, because they found spychips in them. But when I looked it up, it was actually Lithuania, who were advising members of their government to abandon some brands of Chinese phones due to pre-installed software that had a disabled feature which is designed to block certain words and phrases, which could be activated remotely at any time. And OnePlus wasn't included in the advisory, and neither were spychips. Not sure if I got some mental wires crossed, or maybe someone else did. Or a little of both.

[@World_Theory]

On the upside, I learned some interesting things about Estonia in my search. They have apparently been teaching the public about good cyber security since 2008, through programs in schools among other things. But it makes sense. Apparently 99% of their government services are available online.

[@World_Theory]

Still never heard anything about Google having spychips in their phones. I don't think they'd need chips anyway. They have their fingers in most of the software ecosystem for Android. I'm not saying it's out of character for Google though. Other than the fact that they'd probably need to legally disclose the existence of the chips, similarly to what they have to do for their online services. (In the small print, of course. Hidden by a metaphorical coffee stain.)

[@c0ri]

man, I do recall Protonmail saying they don't log. The problem today is people say things tongue-in-cheek, and rarely mean anything they say. So no logging unless we are forced to reveal the logs we never had. But since that's all hidden in the small print, don't worry about that. I'm skeptical so I never went for that. Same with VPNs who claim they don't log. Privacy stops with you. Start your own services. I agree with most of your points. It'd be nice.. we'll get there eventually.

What made me interested in privacy was "Hey, if I'm blocking invasive ads, then why I'm letting Google take my data for ads that I don't see?". The only thing I don't block is things like KZbin algorithms, because it's the only one that actually works from my perspective.

Protonmail 'logs' user data for some time (two weeks, or so they claim?) and is located... in Switzerland. If you are naive enough to "trust' that, then you don't know how the "intel inside" world (let alone the monetary, etc.) works. As they say: "Follow the money..." (to the BIS, or IH$ Templar Intel.) and get your OWN VPN router and/ or say a Netgear M-1 Router and "pay cash" for SIM card(s) if you want to be more 'private.' That 'hacker' wasn't very savvy.

My feedback is very positive. The privacy community needs more people like you. Just to give an example, let's face it: many users need Windows or just don't want to change to Linux. The typical paranoid privacy pure-FOSS advocate will just shum this user and say his privacy is hopeless until he changes his mind, and will shum the user too if he chooses Ubuntu or Mint (and also for not saying GNU/Linux) A pragmatic privacy (and security overall) advocate, actually trying to help, knows there are different risk profiles, privacy and security are neither perfect nor useless, and that there's much one can do to mitigate risks in Windows, for free, with minimal hassle. Please keep doing these informative videos, people must realize that safeguarding their data and personal information is not rocket science.

[@crosenblum]

Thank you, I truly appreciate and respect your neutral approach. I am so tired of the endless arguing about any topic. Thank you.

[@EvanCarrollTheGreat]

This isn't a fair response. ProtonMail also claims that open sourcing the server would not provide any advantage to the greater community at large. This is how they defend their position as maximally secure. I can show you private messages from lead devs and admins on this. This position is not one you can maintain. If it was open sourced, I could legally self-host ProtonMail with a warrant canary in the United States and incur the liability they reject. I could also choose to incur additional liability by refusing to log IP addresses at the behest of government. ProtonMail argues their platform is as secure as it would be if it was open source, despite having fewer eyes looking at it and having a rather selfish policy when it comes to privacy which you're dodging with "they're a company".

I’m interested in the reasons people clicked on this video. Would anyone like to share? I would probably have watched this regardless of the title and thumbnail. There is extra curiosity when relatively trusted sources resort to clickbait, but that alone doesn’t dictate my response. The risk level of the platform it’s on is also a factor, and so is the perceived likelihood of the source using clickbait for a somewhat legitimate purpose. I would guess that a lot of Techlore subscribers feel similarly, and would not necessarily respond to clickbait from the majority of other sources.

Private phone for work & family/close friends, no free/social apps allowed on this phone. Emails only via computer. Every device must have a VPN service. No Alexa, no Siri. Ever. No cloud, only backup to private server. Smart home must be backed to private server not company, possibility to override to physical access.

It might not be a honeypot, but it sure is good for catching criminals. I really don't appreciate the bias you have on protonmail (just to be clear, despite all this, I still do use proton, since there aren't many better options, but I think you are presenting it like protonmail is a perfect email solution, even tho email pretty much can't really be anonymous and private (at least not on clearnet))

There have also been cases of people wrongfully imprisoned, fired from their job, or had their face/likeness used for advertising. Hackers, data breaches, and many other scammers online that purposefully try to get hold of your information to fuck you over. The idea that you’re not doing anything wrong, so it doesn’t matter, is flawed, because your data is being collected for uses outside of just law itself. Even regarding law, there have been states that have banned abortions recently. Places in the world that are anti-LGBT. Places like China that are super oppressive to their online users. Law changes, and law is not always enforced or enforced correctly. Privacy should be a human right. The faith in government to protect your rights or you as a person is laughable.

If Proton Mail or any other company allows itself to be leaned on by a government itself being leaned on by those degenerates in team US Gov then screw them.

i was legitimately clickbaited into this video

[@JimMcKeeth]

Not a troll, but if you hate Google why are you on KZbin? Have you considered joining Nebula or some alternative video platform? Even if you stay on KZbin for the reach, having an option like Nebula for those of us who use it would be nice.

[@herbertwestiron]

Huh? He is on odyssey and peertube what else do you want lmao.

[@JimMcKeeth]

@@herbertwestiron Nebula was my suggestion, but I'll check those two. Are they linked too somewhere?

[@herbertwestiron]

@@JimMcKeeth Yes you can find them in the description.

@@HatchetMan302 that is what I figured, which is why I said as much in my comment.

The title of this video sounds like it’s from Network Chuck. Just sayin’.

[@Sera_Vaz]

[@jos6216]

The real problem with clickbaits is not if they work or not: this is only a concern for ppl who depends on clicks, followers, numbers in general. And ofc, that insane need for clicks is only a high conditional and particular state of living, wich is working and earn money through internet. If you are not dependent ofc clicks means nothing. And if you ARE an youtuber, the so called an "influencer", carying if clickbaits working in life or not, is not that such people is being so cientific rather than just studying his own bussiness selfshly as possible. Is not that different as studying if lying beutifully on peoples face generates money, ofc it can lead to that, but the influencers never go there and make a video about, "lie to ppl, enslave them, and make your living with it' although its precisely what has been done with social media in general.

I remember the whole signal thing beacuse of mobile coins etc. Simple solution. Don't use the mobile coins feature.

[@gokulbalagopal1680]

Normal people can not be able keep up with the most extreme solution to the privacy problem, it will only make fewer people care about privacy since they can not do anything about it, taking a moderate approach will help more people care about privacy and can help people from getting paranoid for the simple issue and they might try to avoid good services that are easy for them for something more difficult to use which make them tired and make them use services they are trying to avoid in the first place

[@Van-Leo]

My problem with the proton issue isn’t so much proton mails stance, but the user that was impacted. Being an activist is now more dangerous depending where you live.

[@RemotHuman]

There's also just different opinions and levels of privacy though right, for example there are flaws on tor, or some people (like mental outlaw) seem to believe that proton is a honeypot. I mean life is muddy isn't it? it's sad. But yeah making everything unclear is counterproductive

[@PvtAnonymous]

there‘s good reason to believe Proton is a honeypot. The flaws in their service and their false advertising are some red flags for sure.

[@john75RRC]

Not gonna lie, I was scared after looking at the thumbnail

[@badboyzodiac2648]

This channel is one of a kind just shows how much clickbait their is

[@vaisakh_km]

Yep... I unsubscribed.... And once again made it sure by clicking it again...

[@ToeTV247]

I like to balance extreme takes with mild takes, and then throw in some Mental Outlaw for the memes

[@ZtaleWaters]

Amen!! Thanks for bringing this up! Been bothering me for a long time.

[@RedMambaYard]

MUCH LOVE TO THIS PRECIOUS CHANNEL ❤

[@drs8069]

Well said. Keep up the great work you do!

[@nigelfranco5755]

You guys are doing an excellent job....don't change a thing!

[@MrKrtek00]

Sir, you have just earned my subscription. This was a suprisingly informative and well argued video.

[@schweinhund7966]

Professional production! Keep up the professionalism!

[@perjohanaxell9862]

Good video I like your aprotch. Would be cool to see you develop the idea of threat models. Maybe we could create some sort of level system, for example: basic, protection against crime. Medium: get out of spying corporations and information trading. Advanced: avoid government and intelligence agencies. This way it wold be easyer to see what I need to do to reach the level of privacy I feel comfortable with.

[@lubomirsalgo7638]

About the proton mail situation. Proton clearly made a mistake and it doesn't matter what your/my stance on it is. They logged the IP of an activist, when at the time their privacy policy stated they have no logs policy*. Then they updated the page to add a new clause, that if government asks them to spy on you, they will comply. This is not a clarification as they try to convince us, this is them covering themselves legally. In my eyes this is not acceptable, as they were breaking the privacy policy they had in place before the incident. You can keep endorsing them as much as you want, but taking their sponsorship on the week you reported the story felt like taking a stance with the company in this incident and imo was very tasteless and out of touch with the community. A bonus point, you say that we should research topics from multiple sources, but in the surveillance reports you always seem to cite just one source. When I happen to research some topic beforehand, I tend to realize the one-sidedness of some articles you cite and that doesn't fill me with confidence for the rest of the stories that you present, which I haven't researched beforehand. I guess I shouldn't try to save time by not researching other topics. Last time I posted a comment it was deleted, hopefully this one can stay up :)

[@1984-f7q]

You - "breaking privacy policy>breaking the law"

[@pakane24]

This is video is the quintessential of clickbaiting and utter bullshittery

[@intensivecareunitpee5838]

are you guys on mastodon

[@businessreform]

Excellent video. I really like your approach to security and privacy. Keep up the great work!

A good combo for the average person: CalyxOS on a Pixel Phone ZorinOS on Regular PC Computers (not apple hardware or Chromebooks)

[@NoMoreInfo4You]

Can you do anything with Apple computers other than throw them out and start fresh???
