[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.
