DEF CON is one of the largest and longest-running hacker conferences in the world. I met with hackers who are building tools to fight the surveillance state.

0:00 DEF CON Is Wild
0:38 Ludlow's IoT Village Hackathon
2:08 Colonel Panic — Flock Camera Detector
4:27 EFF's Rayhunter — Stingray Detection
6:53 The Biscuit Ultra — Anti-Surveillance Gadget
7:40 Meshtastic on the LilyGo T-Deck
8:15 Exploitee.rs Meshtastic Pager
8:38 Shenanigans
9:20 No One Is Coming to Save Us

No one is coming to save us. The tools protecting our privacy are being built by a scrappy community of hackers and hobbyists on shoestring budgets — and anyone can join the fight.

The New War On Privacy And How We Win

The surveillance state is here. Flock cameras track your every move. Palantir builds digital dossiers on everyone. ICE buys your location data in bulk. Your devices are being turned against you with mandatory age verification. And the developers building our digital shields are being arrested.

The battle seems unwinnable. But history of full of unwinnable battles that were won anyway.

Phil Zimmermann vs. US Government, defeating encryption controls.
Cult of the Dead Cow vs. Microsoft, forcing the tech giant to finally take security seriously.
Clipper Chip vs. Everyone, with researchers like Matt Blaze giving a devastating blow to this backdoor tool via a peer-reviewed paper that exposed its fatal flaws.

Let's learn some lesson for how they won these unwinnable battles.
The battle for digital freedom is here, and we have the playbook to win it.

The Digital Independence They Don't Want You To Have

https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/independence:1

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace by EFF co-founder John Perry Barlow, and also America’s 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

But what does independence means in an age where our digital lives are more controlled than ever?

In this video I will walk you through three things:
- the context of the original declaration of independence
- the promise of John Perry Barlow’s Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
- the kind of declaration we need today to protect our privacy, autonomy, and independence into the years to come.

00:00 On Behalf of the Future
02:46 Tyranny in 1776
08:14 The Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace
11:26 Privacy Protects Your Independence
14:16 A New Declaration
18:17 What Now?
21:10 Privacy Will Save the Free Internet
22:38 The Declaration

Breaking free doesn't require a revolution. It starts with a simple decision. Stop handing over your mind, your money, and your children to systems designed to exploit and control them.
Independence, in 2026, is something you have to choose every single day.

I can't fit all the privacy tools I use into a single video, so here are a few I rely on daily.

What are your favorite privacy tools, and what should be included in my next video?
