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