The War on Privacy—And How to Fight Back | Naomi Brockwell

Many people have come to accept pervasive surveillance as the price of modern life: that our phones, browsers, messages, purchases, and movements will inevitably be collected, analyzed, and sold to those with enough money or power.

For many, there’s a growing sense that true privacy is irrevocably lost, and resistance is largely futile.

Naomi Brockwell disagrees.

She is the President of the Ludlow Institute, and with her YouTube channel, she educates people about the many choices they can make to reclaim their privacy—without totally disconnecting from modern life.

“I, as an individual, can actually make choices that reclaim basically all of my privacy in the digital age,” she says.

She connects the dots between digital privacy and the survival of whistleblowers, investigative journalists, protest movements, and opposition parties—none of which can function without it.

Her message is that some things are worth fighting for: “Because submission is its own kind of death.”

Her institute recently helped draft a new bill, which aims to restore Fourth Amendment protections in the digital era by requiring warrants for the government to access your data online.
