Is Skynet watching you already?

The machines are already tracking and watching you. And they're influencing you. The future looks bleak. Do you really want to live in a Skynet world?

I interview Rob Braxman - the Internet Privacy Guy. He's a public interest hacker and technologist. He uses his extensive knowledge of cybersecurity and tech to serve the public good. He cares about privacy. He warns you of digital manipulation, disinformation, mass surveillance.

I got rid of FB a while ago. I despise that platform. I loathe the position of people saying, "if you have nothing to hide it shouldn't matter." It does matter because the data is being used for far more nefarious purposes than most realize. Having nothing to hide isn't the point, our fundamental right to privacy is what is at stake and the constitution is being treated like a doormat.

[precisiont]

This guy knows what he is talking about. As an IT person I see this happening.

[cbassoo]

Thanks for having Rob on. He is absolutely committed in the battle for privacy.

[RogerBranch]

Great guest. Rob Braxman is a CHAD and a LEGEND!

[matangiandrewmorris]

We are moving in a high level form of control. You are correct sir.

[Chuck]

I love this guy. He talks about stuff that gets censored all the time.

[FairyFrequency]

Mindset is everything. Sending lots of love and peaceful energy to everyone reading this message.

[meow-iskander]

Fighting for privacy is what we all need to do.

I had a Facebook account 8 yrs. ago. It lasted a week then I deleted it.
I was so disgusted watching people put their lives on a billboard for the world to see. I knew within a couple days I could never be part of that. I love my privacy and always have been this way.

[brooklinreviews]

The two of you exemplify the problem better than i can explain... You can de-Google as much as you want... and yet here we are on a monetized Google platform... Very hard to do this anonymously. Especially when creatirs are as stuck with google as the rest of us.

[richardnoggin]

Bob Braxman is smart - wicked smart - and he is absolutely right. He is without a doubt a maniac! He pursues his thirst for information (knowledge) maniacally, with a passion and commitment (focus) few possess. I LOVE HIS WORK and the fact he so willingly shares his knowledge. To put that level of knowledge into terms that the average layman on the street can easily understand is pure genius! THANK YOU David, for bringing him into the light for us all to see! BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION!

There was this little story about thinking outside of the box that seems analogical to what mr Bob suggests we do.
An Oxford professor who was swimming naked in the River Cherwell. He was getting out when a boat of undergrads went by. He only had a small towel with him. He did something completely crazy. Instead of covering his little peewee as anybody would do. He reached for his towel and wrapped it around his head. Thus making himself anonymous.
I think this analogy is brilliantly fitting these internet privacy matters.

Thanks for this insightful video. The sad thing is that there is absolutely not a single thing any of us can do about it except for shutting down, turning off and for those who have the desire and strength to do so... get rid of our devices. That's it! Over time we have been slowly lured into the life of thinking and believing that we need these machines when we truly don't. My close circle of family and friends have taken pride in turning them off at family get-togethers - leaving them in a basket at the front door of the home upon entry; or simply just not bringing them with us on trips. Girlfriends and I will notify family and friends when we are heading out for the night or a cottage trip and will leave them behind for the weekend - and we have been fine, just fine! 

Our parents, grandparents and great grandparents got on just fine without them. We can too!

There's no way out of this unless we decide NOT to participate.

[christopherleubner]

He is 100% right. The phones do listen and likely watch in addition to using search preferences. Use a signal analyzer and monitor idle state communication. You will see a spike in activity when you talk, though oddly enough it ignores the voices on a a TV, only seems to respond to genuine human speech. 😮 As to where the signal goes it is routed to the dulles exchange server but after that it seems to go to a black hole somewhere.

[flyingpictures]

Skynet is here for sure, everything we write, read say, and photocopy (offline or on line) is digitally scanned and processed. Add to that, where you are, where you have been and you can pretty much include where you're going, when you are going and what you are thinking.

[gumby-galbraith]

I love rob braxman i watch his shows religiously, because ive been saying what hes saying for awhile n everyone wants to make me feel crazy, but he confirms it... I give him props for speaking up.

[Techtonic-Shift]

Rob Braxman is one of the most vocal and knowledgeable anti-spyware advocates. Thank you for this informative video David! Long time follower from Djibouti!

[nanmanmiri]

A friend of mine recommended this channel to me and since then I have really learned alot. Thanks David for all the quality videos you have here, they have clarity and understanding.

[Jay-gdrg]

Excellent informatitve & inspirational video ...gives me a smidge of hope fighting against the machine
