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.

You said you hate google, apple and facebook--you are speaking my language yet remaining objective. Liked, subbed, etc., ty!!

[Millennial-Boomer]

I discovered you not too long ago and you have really helped me learn a lot about privacy and security. I love this channel and this video just solidified the reasons why. The information is great, but the heart and soul behind it is what keeps me coming back to a channel. Keep up the great work!

I’ll just leave my opinion here. Leaving all of the privacy and security stuff behind I’ve not heard someone talk so much sense in what feels like years. Thank you for making this video and hope it helps a lot of people.

Hey have you talked or reviewed Session? I think its not just another privacy oriented instant messager, messages get routed w the TOR project n you don’t have to use a phone number

[Htt]

Gotta say that it really is hard to find privacy focused YouTubers 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.

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. 👍🏻

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.

I love hearing when privacy and security advocates emphasize threat modeling and basing your actions on what YOU think YOU need, not everyone else nor an all or nothing approach.

[pixelate]

I am not kidding but if I would've seen that thumbnail on a video I wouldn't have clicked if it wasn't for you. Because after watching Techlore for quite a long time I can trust this channel to not be clickbait .

[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".

[imarysujana]

Great video on ‘CLICKBAIT’.
Thanks for the heads up.
I’ll not fall for things like this again.
And thanks for the privacy briefing in the video.

[codigodoson]

I just told myself: this is a guy, from a channel that I recently found out, that I'm really creating empathy, specially after you've showen a fair point in topics that involves sources-checking and stuffs like that.
Really good content !!

[corvoattano]

I also want to add, particularly about this video, the approach on “avoid extremes”, “search for different sources” and “promote a health and thoughtful” discussion on any given subject is of utmost importance. More so in this day and age where many subjects are sort of prohibited to speak about. So, all in all, it should not apply only to technology and privacy. Cheers, mate.

[nicholasbates]

This video is why I'll be following you. I've been saying this along with my friend and think that all of us with this mindset should stick together and support each other. Extremes do us no good. We need to discuss, stay neutral, and learn from each other.

[avcat]

I see you as one of the most trustworthy of the several privacy/security YouTubers I follow. The others are pretty good too, but you seem to explain things more thoroughly.

[YouEsqEnt]

Holy sh**t!!!. This just freaked me out!! Not just the content, which was on point but the fact after doing all my youtube-ing, this has got to be the realistic youtuber I've heard in a long time. Very refreshing and made my Sunday. 👍 👍 and subscribed. Thank you

[sugarfree_]

I'm studying cyber security in uni and when I saw the thumbnail I first thought "this guy is getting a dislike" but I ended up dropping a sub by the end of the video instead, keep up the good content

[Meropeever]

I was really thrown off balance when I saw this video announcement. I take techlore very seriously, and also I had an emotional day. And I have no fuel because I am in England and everybody is fuel hoarding here. And when your car is useless, you just feel exactly how much you depend on it. And I don't know when I will be able to drive somewhere, because the closest three fuel stations are also out of fuel and I cannot reach any further. So great.

[coolnegative]

So grateful for a sensible pov....I am so very sick of everyone having to make every tiny topic into something huge and would be a much happier world if more people could see beyond their own opinions and at least try to understand the "why" of how someone might feel one way or another. It doesn't mean you have to compromise your integrity or convictions, but it can help everyone with prospective. Thank you!
