"Your VPN won't protect you" this is true for those who don't know how to use a VPN and how to seperate their own traffic. Browser isolation will probably not be enough either (if all your network traffic on that device is going through VPN tunnel), your identifiable traffic should NOT go through your VPN tunnel as that can then be associated with your 'anonymous' traffic, which essentially de-anonymises you - this is the main point of failure that newbies aren't aware of.

Oh man no way, so glad you brought Rob on the show!! He's the best!!

Wow I’ve been watching your videos for years. Happy to see you have Rob on the show. Love how privacy focus he is. Love the amount of good content you and him put out.

Rob is correct on the privacy front and regarding the misuse of capability. If there is a computing/technological capability available to corporations or intelligence agencies, they will use it, and they will use it in such a way that user/device-owner rights to privacy and, indeed, ownership rights, will be harmed. In hacker terminology, these people want to sell you devices and software and to own those things at the same time. Preferably, they will be able to extract a subscription fee for the privilege of being owned and having your personal data stolen and sold on the open market. Our governments encourage this, to give intelligence agencies and law enforcement the "tools" they need. Never mind that these agencies have long had far more access to data than they need. In exchange for stripping citizens of constitutional rights, tech-illiterate politicians have long given tech companies a blanket regulatory pass on their rapacious surveillance practices. So long, that is, as the key agencies get their "tools" - complete with GUIs for desk jockeys who do not actually hack anything themselves. We need to be aware of all this stuff, in the first instance for our own dignity, but beyond that to change the political culture that has allowed this stuff to go as far as it has gone.

My number one take away was “Security is not Privacy” 😮

Love braxmans content and perspectives, hes spot on when it comes to AI and its why i dont run stock android or windows anymore

re tik-tok, I had understood the problem not to be that it's collecting data as stated here, but rather that what is collected is shared with the CPR gov't, and can be used to shape and manipulate the information environment of a sizeable portion of the US population. That's why they're not saying shut down Tik-Tok, they're saying sell it to a non-Chinese owned company.

Rob mentioned, that mobile phones does not need a VPN. Why is that? You sit at an Italian café, you're on their wireless network and the local hacker sits in his van on the same network. Why is VPN not a good idea here?

Great guest David. Good to see Rob on here getting the word out to different viewers.

Thanks for having Rob on, David. This is an awesome collaboration that I have to watch, now!

thank you for spreading the Message!

I have been following Rob for a few years now. This man knows his stuff!! Thanks for having him on David.

ROB is the 💣...so glad you 2 collaborate...

Ive got a plan, just buying a dumb phone, disconnecting from the net from time to time, make my own downloaded information cache (offline), download LLM and run locally and talk to people like connecting in real life.

Thank you David! Very impressive

Really cool to see Rob on the show. Been watching you both for couple years

Very good interview with Rob Braxman. I follow Rob since a few years now and this interview touches on a myriad of the usual Braxman-topics. Very comprehensive! 👍

Thx David for facilitating Rob, helps me digest the info.

David - could you please get Rob more often on the show? This is really useful information and we need to stay on top of it inasmuch as the assault on our privacy carries on. Thank you

great camera quality from both feels goooood man

Google and Facebook mainly but also Microsoft and X (Twitter). Banks in UK will give Governments unfettered access to personal account info without any warrant if the amendments to the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill is passed and no doubt it will be fed into AI.

So, basically use a degoogled phone, or just stay away from the google browser and use browsers like firefox or brave.

I'm so glad to see David and Rob

We are entering a 50 year period of darkness...

Learned so much! Thanks David and Rob 👍

Braxmen seems like a fed selling honeynet phones. His solutions to evading tracking do not pass the sniff test. Using a different browser and not logging into your Google account does not evade Google. The user agent, GUID, ip address, and device sensor data all correlate your identity. It’s game over.

Skynet 2024, produced, directed, starring . . . AI

Very insightful and a realist outlook on tech in big corps without regulation in the future. Security should include privacy!

A definite must watch!!

I am fairly new to cyber security and info sec although I do have a computing background (many , many years ago). Even as a newbie I love watching your videos & your channel. I’ve learned so much about vulnerabilities, exploits, & hacking tools. This is a great video 😁 I’d love to learn more about backdoors and have been searching here on KZfaq. Does anyone know any great video, course or book about back doors? Thanks so much, have a great day everyone 😌

Fantastic quest :-) Privacy guy - high five!

Rob i do think your message is INCREDDIBLY IMPORTANT! The problem with a new audience is that they want to be entertained (i'm talking about Gen Z) I can listen to stuff like this because i love IT, but people starting out want to be entertained. And i also sadly have given up on trying to spread the message because it makes you sound crazy when you know it's happening. All respect for not giving up the work Rob

Braxman is a legend!

i mostly think cookies play a crucial role in storing the data which is something against the privacy

Location on any smartphone is ALWAYS on. Even when the phone is off. Until the "backup" battery is empty (~1 year).

Your video titled VPN won't protect you was the video that triggered this contribution. I can't register to a monthly subscription now but this video is worth contributing.

Love this perspective of Rob

Thank you so much for this informative session

Great video thanks a lot guys! A question - Are Firefox Containers a good enough way to block the cross-site tracking from Google?

that last info bit where you had the routers to "optimize" with ai in general you will be traced no matter what

Thanks ❤

You literally have the most fascinating tech podcast out there, because it just doesn’t glorify technology. It’s more real. it kind of merges technology with the aspect of human nature, rather than painting some techno Utopian BS.

Holy crap! Worlds have collided David and BRAX!!!!

Another great video thank you!

Wow, you listen to my request to have Rob .........thanks DAVID

I used to be firmly in the "I'm not doing anything wrong, so I'm not going to worry about it" camp. Now I'm starting to see the wisdom and importance of privacy as legislation like Roe v Wade has been overturned. Also, having a potentially skilled cyber stalker ect. I believe there's a recent news article where a man is trying to use state laws to follow a former partner across state lines with an investigation into an abortion. It's definitely an overwhelming process to start now, but slowly retraining myself 😅

Plot of "Person of Interest"

Thank you Mr

What about hardware backdoors? Also I am thinking if they can completely scan your computer or smartphone, the value of encrypted and decentralized data is completely voided. Is there anything not true about this statement ? This is very important when you consider that financial things could then be compromised also.

So my question is if VPNs can't protect us what will. And imagine all that data we've backup on Google. How can we go back to a 100% security and privacy. Cause I remember at some point the was just typing words on my keyboard went to Google and Facebook then it brought that suggestions of what you may like. 😢😅😅 Then I started thinking do I have a keylogger on my devices

Interesting things to think about. I didn't realize the google ID can follow you by loading it on other pages and looking for it on my devices.

"I predict things", "Yeah" i heard you the first time

This maybe out of context but I bought a domain that can be used as to send invite. Very new domain and not even public yet. I just did a couple test on my own email. Not a day went by and my hosting company contacted me that this corporation wants me to take down the domain as it contains their name and identity. And that I have less that a day before they take it down. I have paid for this domain already, what should I do with it? What are my options here.

Scary... really is scary

You just found the actual plan. Win the law in 1 counrty and you will them all. How many VPNs have a server in the UK, that door is there and once opened they can access everything connected to the network.

YESSSSS, FINALLLY 😢 ROB BRAXMAN IS SO COOL!!

do you have preference for best antivirus software which also keeps privacy?

Braxman is legend he just opened my eyes for privacy thanks Rob.

When online. Boot from USB OS. When not online, go local.

50:3 - Well, well, I learned something new today (will double check but still) IPv6 ID cannot be seen by the target system, is that right? Funny thing is that when at home and I use my VPN (another vendor) when checking where my server is sitting , I notice that IPv6 goes to unknown (IPv4 changed of course) so I thought that that was the trick, since IPv6 is not widespread I assumed they hid it to prevent you from being recognized that way. Interesting.

I think that Neuralink is a brain debugger port to solve the brain mystery from the inside! It was a B option in the case that the current AI(the mathematics model) will not perform well! But as we see throwing all that data in the machine works pretty well!

The blue print for google to build a defense against any app store that is being used as a work around, is being provided here in this video. That is the only draw back with this video, the information that is being provided, will also be used as a weapon against the offense. TMI on a google platform:(

@2:56 not to take anything away from him, but, many IP watchers “predict” incoming tech and data comps link with corp recruiters to let the cat out of the bag on certain companies about to enter a new market by whom they are seeking to hire (quietly via recruiters).

11:30- The deal about Tiktok from what I've heard is not the amount of data being collected by who is being collected for and that appears to be the Chinese government. That's what seems to be the issue.

it is getting that way, i actually fear my devices. the naysayers say, "if you do nothing wrong what do you have to fear", my response to them is who determines what is right or wrong and will right or wrong always stay the same.

Good content. However, regarding largest "public data" collectors. Yes Google, but what about KZfaq, they also hold and collect a lot of private data. How accountable are they, when it comes to privacy?

Refers to enterprise equipment as “mainframes” lmao

I love your channel. Great content. thank you. I am a licensed private investigator in business for over 20 years. I'm always looking for the newest and best sites for locating my subject. Any ideas are welcome.

Hello thx for all these infos you have been very helpful I get so much knowledge of cybersecurity thx to this program big tx

I search for all kinds of random crap. I get ads for young girls to old men and everything in between. You can't tell what I like and dislike easily because I appear to like things I don't really like. Most people only subscribe or thumbs up things they personally like. I throw a wrench in that.

NEURALINK is hardly Musk's idea.. It was the goal in the award winning game WARZONE 2100 (1999), which after implementing it, put humans in a suit, where they could steer the suit with its mind... (lots of servos in the suit, make you run as fast as a bike)

Thank you

The best policy is to remember this... 'walls have ears' Big brother is watching you! 'They have all the resources they need to find ways to snoop on you'

Us extended a law that they can survey anyone no warrant just cause its a Tuesday is enough reason.

No smartphone. Problem solved.

Why is it that if law enforcement want to tap a phone they need a warrent from the court, however companies like Google and Apple can tap into our phones with no warrent and zero knowledge or accept from the user /owner of the phone?! That is a very valid question to ask, I would love to see a video that investigate this further or take up this subject.

Skynet mix with universal solider lol welcome to the future ladies and gentlemen

I know its only because google was listening for the word google, but as I was watching this my phone started listening to the conversation through my speakers and was visible it was doing it on the screen. I think they are on to you :D, the irony . Jokes aside I have a Pixel and will be using Calyx some point soon when I get time. Thank you for letting us know about this. I was not aware of such OS for pixel phones.

You just create a digital twin that watches, knitting videos, and cat memes, and quotes of Bernie Sanders. Then now and then you throw in some real searches.😂

is that tcp/ip guide book outdated? or is it a new edition?

These big companies can collect all the data they want on me. But the moment they sell or use that data to negatively affect my life, they can expect massive exposure and lawsuits from every person that uses there services.

Just sighnt up for Brilliant. I hope it gone help me programming.

I don't use vpns for privacy ( i use it to go on pages google block ) and i'm a researcher been doing it for over 15 years my character is not what i search for i do it for analysis purposes

I have a noob question: Can AI intervene in ex.g. Android 5.1.X phone content if no apps (apart from browser) or AI is used on it? Can it use zero-click attack to gain access?

Snowden already warned us about this. It doesn't need to be A.I. controlled. All they need is your phone number, the network you're with, and by proxy the SIM card ID and pin. And then a government hacker can remote control your phone and see browsing history and app use history. And of course, see see all your contacts, messages, social networking, and of course they can get around the encryption of messages from WhatsApp and Messenger as they're viewing it through your phone as if it were a window. What's ironic with all this!? I guess the fact that you get charged on your phone contract for the data they use to stream your phone to them and encrypt the address so to cover themselves. 😂😂😂 xZx

Firewall and antimalware and core antimalware

we as people are each just mesh nodes lol 😮‍💨

yooo video with rob, very cool

Vpns dont do shit when your Computer is a webapp.

So what's the best way to protect online Thanks so much David

Honestly, I kind of like google maps tracking me while I drive. If I ever get accused of committing a crime I didn't commit. That gps tracking history might come in handy.

A problem i encounter (Daily) is a *State* (our Nation) that loves *Social media* Where as I don't. FYI; I use less than 5 of em However i Digress.

I am very close to just getting rid of all my devices ..because of this..I have never seen a generation so nosey..

I guess I will get the flip phone I saw advertised for seniors as my next phone. Just need phone and texting anyway.

Chrome's next update is being able to communicate with other chromium browsers

Terminator picks up smart pewpew.. *click*... "what a piece of trash" *fires up machining shop and proceeds to turn a black powder into a boomstik instead.*

Can occupy the explain the chapter 15 of linux basics for hackers🙏🙏

Taking in all what was say, DON'T USE OAUTH🚫❗️🤣😂

I think it's excellent that Rob specifically mentioned the mobile carriers differences with regard to NAT. That should raise some eyebrows because in my experience, Rob has a very high tendency of being correct. 😅✌️
