This week's a double-week catch-up: the EU just greenlit Chat Control even after Parliament voted against it, Microsoft had a brutal stretch between a decade-old Secure Boot flaw and a Windows Defender zero-day, Texas's app-store age verification law cleared its Supreme Court hurdle while the KIDS Act moves through Congress, and LAPD just let its Flock license-plate contract expire.

The UK just confirmed it's doubling down on the under-16 social media ban, and VPN restrictions might be next. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans say they support social media bans for minors, and almost none of them have been told what age verification actually costs: uploading your ID to reach the same platforms that never changed. In this video I break down the UK's VPN restriction proposal, why age verification and online age gates always expand beyond kids, what Australia's under-16 ban actually accomplished, and why banning users instead of fixing exploitative platform design protects nobody.🔗 SOURCES & LINKS• Proton VPN Kickback Link: https://go.getproton.me/SH12P• Proton VPN: https://protonvpn.com/🔎 RELATED VIDEOShttps://youtu.be/i_B3BuRb3eQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuLdd07P1II🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech/• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Our Recommended Tools: https://tools.techlore.tech/• Take Our SPA Quiz: https://quiz.techlore.tech/• Learn more on our SPA Wiki: https://wiki.techlore.tech/• VPN Finder: https://vpn.techlore.tech/⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 THE FIGHT CONTINUES00:30 THE UK TEASING VPN RESTRICTIONS03:30 MAJORITY OF US ADULTS SUPPORT THESE BANS06:32 THE REAL (IGNORED) ISSUES THAT NEED SOLVING#VPNBan #uk #usa...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5ScjMGfIUU

End-to-end encrypted file sharing may sound simple, but for Cryptee, it took five years to ship. In this interview, Henry sits down with John Ozbay, founder and CEO of Cryptee, to talk through why: preventing CSAM, why client-side scanning doesn't work, how Cryptee's solution was designed to raise the barrier to mass spread without compromising encryption, and the broader philosophical question of where developer liability ends and moral responsibility begins.Please engage in the comments with extra care; this is a sensitive topic, and some viewers may have personal experience with the issues discussed.🔗 SOURCES & LINKS• Cryptee: https://crypt.ee• Stop Chat Control: https://stopchatcontrol.eu• Open Web Advocacy: https://open-web-advocacy.org• EDRI: https://edri.org🔎 RELATED VIDEOShttps://youtu.be/5iKvQk7drd4https://youtu.be/xE-YXAnOTeQ🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech/• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Our Recommended Tools: https://tools.techlore.tech/• Take Our SPA Quiz: https://quiz.techlore.tech/• Learn more on our SPA Wiki: https://wiki.techlore.tech/• VPN Finder: https://vpn.techlore.tech/⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00:00 INTRO00:04:08 E2EE SHARING HESITATIONS00:14:09 HOW IS BIG TECH HANDLING THIS?00:16:24 LOCAL SCANNING00:19:27 HOW ARE CHAT APPS HANDLING THIS?00:21:24 E2EE BACKUPS00:22:40 HOW MUCH IS THIS CONSIDERED?00:25:38 CRYPTEE'S SOLUTION00:42:09 THREAT MODELING00:48:18 MEGA'S APPROACH00:53:16 LIABILITY VS.

Attackers were taking over Instagram accounts by matching a target's region with a VPN, starting a password reset, and simply asking Meta's AI support chatbot to change the account's email...that was the entire attack.

Bus Patrol installed AI cameras in tens of thousands of US school buses to catch drivers passing stopped buses, and now those cameras are being turned into automatic license plate readers that log every vehicle they drive past and feed the data to law enforcement. Leaked internal documents show the company knew the plan was controversial (including ICE concerns) but bet that the "protect the children" framing would keep people from pushing back.This is a clip from our Surveillance Report news podcast, Watch the complete episode here: https://youtu.be/Pgo3N4WlMmc🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech/• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Our Recommended Tools: https://tools.techlore.tech/• Take Our SPA Quiz: https://quiz.techlore.tech/• Learn more on our SPA Wiki: https://wiki.techlore.tech/• VPN Finder: https://vpn.techlore.tech/#schoolbus #surveillance #privacy...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRhekbtayIg

Most apps claiming to be "private and secure" are using language that sounds meaningful but commits to almost nothing. I broke this down after watching a Shark Tank segment on Qeepsake, a baby journal app that calls itself "absolutely private and secure" because it has an SSL certificate.

Law enforcement needs a warrant to walk into your house, but they can pull years of your emails, location data, and private messages without one. @NaomiBrockwellTV breaks down how a 1970s case about how a telephone booth (and the "third party doctrine" the courts built on top of it) became the legal foundation for modern digital surveillance, and how it carries over poorly into big tech companies like Google.

Canada's Bill C-22 is being sold as "encryption neutral" lawful access legislation, but Signal's already threatened to pull out of the country over it, and Apple and Meta are publicly opposed. Here's what the bill actually does and why it's a problem even if you don't live in Canada, and why setting this precedent now could leak into encryption fights worldwide. End-to-end encrypted messaging is the closest thing the digital world has to a private conversation in your living room.

"Contact your reps" sounds like wishful thinking, until you understand how laws actually get passed. @NaomiBrockwellTV explains the two ways politicians get reelected (campaign donations from lobbyists, and constituents who'll punish them at the ballot box), why 10 calls is genuinely enough to get a rep briefed on an issue, and why the political fight matters even if you think tech is what will ultimately save technology.This is a clip from our full interview with @NaomiBrockwellTV Watch the complete conversation here: https://youtu.be/0_hlkmpw1sk🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Privacy Tools: https://privacytools.techlore.tech/• VPN Comparison Chart: https://vpn.techlore.tech/#politics #privacy #naomi...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyUGW56MCNQ

Google's new reCAPTCHA can require Google Play Services to pass, meaning a de-Googled phone will fail the "are you human?" check. Combined with mandatory developer verification and AOSP going private, the pattern over the last year is impossible to ignore. Here's what I think it means for Android, custom ROMs, and the open-source community that built this whole ecosystem.🔒 A portion of the video is sponsored by Proton.

Utah just passed SB73, the first law in the US to take direct aim at VPNs, and it already went into effect May 6th. The law requires adult content sites to verify the age of every Utah user even if they're using a VPN (aka...everyone!) which experts say is technically impossible to comply with without verifying every person on earth. This is a blueprint other states are watching, and VPNs just became a legal target.🔗 SOURCES & LINKS• Article: https://www.kuer.org/politics-government/2026-05-07/utahs-online-porn-age-verification-law-now-includes-vpns-critics-say-it-wont-work• Bill: https://le.utah.gov/~2026/bills/static/SB0073.html• Contact Reps: https://www.house.gov/• Proton VPN Kickback Link: https://go.getproton.me/SH1Ip• Proton VPN Link: https://protonvpn.com/• VPN Chart: https://techlore.tech/vpn🔎 RELATED VIDEOShttps://youtu.be/cuLdd07P1IIhttps://youtu.be/RPc869MO86k🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Privacy Tools: https://privacytools.techlore.tech/• VPN Comparison Chart: https://vpn.techlore.tech/⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 INTRO00:27 HOW WE GOT HERE01:33 WHY IT'S UNWORKABLE07:04 THIS IS THE TEMPLATE11:13 ACTION STEPS#utah #vpn #techlore...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgGGRF-T26A

You left your comments, I answered...from the Signal vs. Session debate to Android's dangerous lockdown trend, browser wars, VPN bans, and why "there's nothing I can do" is the most dangerous thing you can say about digital rights. 🔗 SOURCES & LINKS• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup • Privacy Tool Essentials: https://essentials.techlore.tech• Techlore Clips: https://youtube.com/@UCy1hU4eDUdoPy_ez4oXZD0w 🔎 RELATED VIDEOShttps://youtu.be/zPqsIGALt7shttps://youtu.be/3i5KH0l895ohttps://youtu.be/W6cKFliWW6Q📱 DEVICE GUIDESAndroid: https://youtu.be/dMWEym0KPcAiOS: https://youtu.be/d2bJVKcIEg0macOS: https://youtu.be/EA4KyQBdSu8Windows: https://youtu.be/-nv3IEtXhF8Linux: https://youtu.be/Sa0KqbpLye4🎙️ INTERVIEWS MENTIONEDhttps://youtu.be/PgoCVnBRyjYhttps://youtu.be/hfzf0t8ZCK4https://youtu.be/pxJMpRJQPw8🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Privacy Tools: https://privacytools.techlore.tech/• VPN Comparison Chart: https://vpn.techlore.tech/#DigitalRights #android #techlore...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osDaAhbJup0

AI is everywhere, including Firefox. But, unlike many services, Mozilla has chosen to offer some toggles to turn them off completely. In this interview, Henry sits down with Adam Fishman, Mozilla's VP of Product, to cover the philosophy behind Firefox's AI features, how Smart Window works, the controls that let you turn everything off, if AI is even useful and why they are pursuing this, the importance of "having a seat at the table", and the surprising story of how Anthropic's Claude found several security vulnerabilities in Firefox.🔗 SOURCES & LINKS• Firefox: https://www.firefox.com• Mozilla AI: https://www.mozilla.ai• Mozilla Common Voice: https://commonvoice.mozilla.org🔎 RELATED VIDEOShttps://youtu.be/bQzLGHWkTyghttps://youtu.be/UkxZRgHYZcM🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Privacy Tools: https://privacytools.techlore.tech/• VPN Comparison Chart: https://vpn.techlore.tech/⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00:00 INTRO00:01:30 EXPLAINING THE ROLE00:04:03 ADAM'S BACKGROUND00:06:05 SUNSETTING POCKET00:10:12 PHILOSOPHY ON AI00:14:58 AI FEATURES VS.

Helium Browser has been one of the most requested first looks from the community, so here it is. Built by a two-person team, Helium is an open source Chromium-based browser that ships with uBlock Origin and provides an experience with zero bloat. Can it compete with Brave? In this video I showcase the differences and who I think Helium is (and isn't) for. A couple things worth noting: Helium also supports !bangs and vertical tabs, two features I didn't cover in this video. Neither changes my overall take, but they're worth knowing about if those matter to your workflow!🔗 SOURCES & LINKS• Our Written Breakdown: https://techlore.tech/helium-browser-review-a-truly-minimal-privacy-focused-chromium-browser/• Helium: https://helium.computer• Imput: https://imput.net🔎 RELATED VIDEOShttps://youtu.be/3i5KH0l895ohttps://youtu.be/W6cKFliWW6Q🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE• Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup• All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE• Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech• Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/• Privacy Tools: https://privacytools.techlore.tech/• VPN Comparison Chart: https://vpn.techlore.tech/⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 HELIUM BROWSER - SETTING THE SCENE01:02 INITIAL SETUP02:00 FIRST IMPRESSIONS + FEATURE OVERVIEW03:43 PERFORMANCE05:58 DESIGN07:11 BUSINESS MODELS & SUSTAINABILITY08:08 HELIUM OR BRAVE?09:40 OVERALL THOUGHTSGymnopedie No 1 by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/#HeliumBrowser #BraveBrowser #OpenSource...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPqsIGALt7s
