[Voiceover] Surveillance is a tool of oppression
It's evolved and we need to evolve.
[Music]
When you're out at a protest,
it's not the same protest that, you know,
generations ago, our ancestors were at.
The protesting evolved using technology,
but so has the adversaries
and the surveillance tactics.
They've evolved too.
If you are
participating in feats of activism,
If you are organizing today,
You probably don't want to do it
on a platform with your real phone number
or on a platform that's linked
to your real credit card.
Make sure that you're using a VPN,
a virtual private network,
or organizing on keybase.io
or organizing on wire.com.
So you're organizing in a way that's
end-to-end encrypted.
You're organizing in a way
that's ephemeral.
Like the conversation you would be having if you could stand in front of someone.
So it's time, and then it's gone.
Go into the security settings, turn on your two-factor to lock down your account
so people can't take it over, but also see if there's any personalization.
It sounds so nice: I'm catering this for you;
I'm personalizing it just for you.
But it's really allowing a lens into more about what you do
for advertising dollars for them to collect.
But you're talking about changing the way you just think about all of this.
And you're like "You know what, I have some agency.
And it's never too late.
And I'm gonna start tomorrow.
And I'm gonna take a small step."
Take those small steps.
Small steps over time, that's how you win this.
