Janine @J9Roem, investigative journalist & "ThatOnePrivacyGirl", joins me & my Co-Host, Stefanie von Jan, in this special educational episode  to talk about:  Â
- Wikileaks could only survive with Bitcoin because all bank accounts were shut downÂ
- Importance of source verification: use primary sources for high quality content - this way fake news can be easily tested    Â
- Why privacy matters        Â
Privacy for informational self-determination: power to reveal oneself selectively to the world         Â
Cryptography as essential and powerful tool to provide privacy        Â
Use case on how innocent people were targeted through stalking where the stalker had access to location data through mobile provider -      Why mass surveillance?        Â
Mass surveillance does not prevent the spread of the virus or terrorism         Â
Not effected for anti money laundering        Â
But effective for surveilling the people where terror prevention and AML serves as cover story      - Data collection for marketing purposes        Â
Data used for marketing purposes and individual ad targeting        Â
Ad blocker is a protest against surveillance, both against marketing and law enforcement      - Data used by governments      Â
Governements collaborate in spying on its citizens: Law prohibits surveillance by the home government which is why governments agree with foreign governments for them to spy on their citizens and subsequently exchange information        Â
Governments collaborate with data collection services usually indirectly to get around 4th amendment protection        Â
Cases Carpenter vs US and US vs Miller          - Later one:
bank records do not have 4th amendment protection (=no privacy): Coinbase records are considered bank records and thus preserve no privacy         Â
As soon as data is revealed to third party, then there is no 4th amendment protection: third parties are security and privacy holes     - Recommendation       Â
Check a service provider’s partnerships before engaging        Â
Read their privacy policy         Â
Buy Bitcoin with cash to maximize privacy         Â
Run your own full node and improve your full node privacy Â
