    He’s hardcore anti-corpo and money-interests, so much that he refuses any sponserships and condemns them universally.

    Good stuff, well researched, only downside is that he takes a long time to upload stuff.

    For all the people saying that privacy-oriented Youtube channels are a contradiction.

    The point of these channels is to make more people privacy conscious. And where do you find people that aren’t very privacy conscious? That’s right, YouTube. I actually think what these creators are doing is a great sacrifice in terms of their own, personal privacy, but making people aware.

    I know its not a YouTube channel but man I will prefer Michael Bazell from Intel Techniques over all these YouTube Channels. He does privacy and security for a living so he knows his thing and its very realistic about privacy and security.

      Sounds cool. However, as I understand it, his books are paid, which means that i won’t be able to read them, there are problems with payment :(

        You can subscribe to his podcast - it’s completely free. It’s called “Privacy, Security and OSINT show”

        Yes they are paid because he doesn’t have any sponsors , no company paid him everything is his own work and experience. He also has a new method to sell his knowledge which is through a PDF so if you are interested let’s say how to improve privacy and security on Apple devices you buy the PDF for $15 and then they will keep sending you updates as need it. Its much cheaper than the books and you get exactly what you need not like the book where get everything at once.

      I love how how angry and focused he is. Sometimes I put him on while doing chores to listen to him ramble

      In the realm of privacy, paranoia can often trump reason. Known issue. Passed on myself.

      I watched him before too. But then somewhere in another YouTuber’s video I heard that in one of the repositories, I think his social network, there was a stub for encryption, although it is still stated that E2EE is there. After this my trust was broken. Plus, I have little trust in people who so actively push their products through video. I think it’s not for nothing that his VPN service is not on the lists of the best.

          Firstly, we do not have worthy alternatives (PeerTube and Odyssee are not yet sufficiently developed). Secondly, I watch them through LibreTube, so Google does not know information about me. Thirdly, the world consists of compromises. This is one of them.

            This is one of those things that is very true and is very easy to forget until you take a moment to step back.

            I get it, I just find it ironic that people post privacy related content on a platform run by the worst company in the world privacy wise.

              @ExLisper

              I think there are defendable grounds for saying someone posting about privacy on YouTube is and is not ironic. How surprising or unexpected it is depends on many factors like the poster’s goals, threat models, and degree of altruism, user expectations regarding the poster, and congruence or incongruence with all of the above.

              This website you are commenting on has been delivered to you through billions worth of corporate infrastructure. Often these companies have long track records of privacy violations and corruption, and you reproduce their power by your participation. Yet you still seem to be using the Internet.

                Yes, for sure, by simply connecting to the internet using my local provider and public backbone infrastructure (I’m not in US) I’m supporting corporations. Next you will tell me I’m supporting Saudi Arabia by turning light on in my bathroom.

                  You are getting dangerously close to understanding my reply. It was deliberately ridiculous, and is equivalent to the ridiculousness of your initial observation. Yes, there is and will be discourse around privacy on YouTube. No, it is not ironic.

              The modern world consists of irony, albeit often sad. The goal of many of them is to reach ordinary people. And they watch videos on YouTube. The end justifies the means, I believe.

    Not providing any channels (the ones I know the most about are listed by OP and commenters), but more about non-YT versions of channels about privacy being on YT. For people that use YT but are open to LBRY/Odysee/PeerTube. I have found these extensions to be great for quickly seeing if a channel is also on those services. If anyone knows of others like these, I would like to know about them. And for anything that isn’t also on them of course Invidious instances are great for at least having some amount of privacy while dealing with YT (at least until Google finds some way to stop them from working).

    Disclaimer: I am not a dev (or these or anything) or an auditor of security, so I can’t say how good or bad these are outside of personally finding them useful. I also am not affiliated with them and again just find them good for seeing if non-YT versions of channels exist.
