About this episode

Naomi Brockwell discusses the Surveillance Accountability Act and the implications of data privacy.

The federal government doesn't need a warrant to buy your location data, your financial records, or your private information from data brokers. The Surveillance Accountability Act wants to change that. In this Techlore Talks interview, Henry sits down with Naomi Brockwell, host of NBTV and president/founder of The Ludlow Institute. They discuss the bill, Naomi's three-pillar approach to fighting the surveillance state, why decentralization doesn't automatically provide privacy, and what you can actually do right now. 🔗 SOURCES & LINKS • Surveillance Accountability Act: https://surveillanceaccountability.com • Contact your rep (script included): https://surveillanceaccountability.com/support • Naomi Brockwell TV: https://nbtv.media • Naomi's 501(c)(3): https://www.ludlowinstitute.org ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 🎥 VIDEO Watch on YouTube 🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE Keep Techlore Talks independent & growing: ★ Support this podcast ★
