So over the next few weeks, we'll talk about who's collecting your medical information, how they're using it, and who they're sharing it with. And this series is wild because we're not only talking about pictures of that funny-looking mole you have. We're talking about the neural patterns of your brain and how it acts as you make decisions in Virtual Reality.

First things first, though: This week, we're going to look at services like MyChart, Phreesia, and the MANY doctor's offices that utilize Facebook's Tracking Pixel on their website.

We'll tell you how to stop these companies from collecting and sharing your data, and then we'll explain why you want to do that.

I mean, unless you want a generative AI like Chat GPT3 to be looking at photos of your favorite private parts and drawing some really interesting conclusions to share with others. (A real thing that's already happened.)

Also, In Today's Episode ...

BJ Speaks with Matthew D Green at John Hopkins University Information Security Institute to follow up on our previous episode concerning "The Cloud" and why you shouldn't put your important stuff in there.

Resources Mentioned In Today’s Show
-Email Privacy@Phreesia.com to opt out of their data collection
-Call your doctor's office to see what data is being shared and collected on you by companies like My Chart and request to opt out.
-Use the Tor Browser when visiting any websites related to managing your health care.
-Use PimEyes to see who is using pictures of your face.
-Use the pictures found by PimEyes to search HaveIBeenTrained.com to make sure your photos aren't being used to train generative AIs like ChatGPT3
-Request Clearview AI remove any pictures they have on you here.

Gregg also shares some terrific advice about how he uses technology to help drive his creative process and why you should always kill your darlings.

These are easy to set up, and not expensive. Never give out your real phone number again! Rosie will explain why, and give you the steps you need to take to get one set up.

This episode is a wonderful trip down memory lane with Eric and Julia Lewald, the showrunner and a staff writer on X-Men: The Animated Series.

If you're a fan of the old cartoon, this episode is for you.

Eric and Julia also share some wonderful advice for aspiring TV writers and share their secret origin stories.

This week, BJ is joined by Kim LaChance Shandrow, who writes an email every morning seen by thousands of employees at a company you're *possibly* listening to this podcast on. We also dive into her poetry writing, teaching yoga, what it's like to be a marketer and a journalist (a struggle BJ knows all too well), and some terrific advice. You definitely want to listen for this terrific conversation.

Make sure to follow Kim on Instagram here.

Unless you use Gmail and you followed our previous advice about pairing your Gmail account with a Yubikey. In which case, you can do nothing.

This week, Rosie is going to show you how to send an encrypted email, using Proton Mail's free plan, to anyone who doesn't have an encrypted email account.

This is especially useful if you ever need to send financial or health information to someone, and you can't get them to ride the Signal Bus.

We're also going to explain in this episode why you should keep your most important email contacts stored offline, the way BJ's Boomer Dad does.

For once, when it comes to technology, BJ's Dad is doing the right thing, and you should too. 

And later, Roger returns to talk about some recent data breaches, including North Korea's hacking of SONY, which is way crazier than you think it is.

It's Part 1 of our two-part Digital Detox! 

In this week's episode, we give you a two-step exercise to help you get rid of unused apps and think critically about how you use the ones you keep.

Once a month, make sure you grab some time to remove any of the unused apps on your phone. Each one represents a potential opportunity for fascists or weirdos to access your information and maybe even your microphone.

Here are some excellent tips from The Washington Post on how to greyscale your phone and use the Digital Wellness features to place timers on the apps you decide to keep.

All this, and Roger returns to explain a vicious cycle between tech companies who "borrow" your data, and the media that covers their borrowing.

Breaking up is hard to do. Sure. But when you're leaving a relationship where you shared a device with your partner, it might be time to get a new device. And we mean like NEW. Not refurbished. It's expensive, but there's a good reason to take this step, as Rosie explains.

You will also hear more from BJ's first book on privacy, narrated by Broadway actor Roger Wayne. In this week's excerpt, Roger talks about the perils of the Internet of Things.

*Just a note: After recording this episode, Apple announced they were going to improve the security of iCloud. We need to evaluate this further, but for now, we still recommend avoiding it for now.

Privacy Audits are two, one-hour consultations with B.J. Mendelson that are done via Signal. The first consultation walks you through each of the 23 Privacy Tips (and some bonus ones depending on your device). The second consultation occurs one week later to make any adjustments and answer any additional questions.

We talk about his inspiration for the film, and what the creative process is like for an idea you've been carrying around forever in your head. We also talk about the detrimental effect of corporate money in film, which is killing novelty for the sake of giving people something familiar and bankable.

P.S. Arya makes a special appearance. We apologize for her barking, but she does not.

In this episode we talk about her work, the current campaign to cut off Fox News's (web) advertising, and how you can get involved to save democracy in the United States and around the world.

We also talk about the 2000 Presidential Election and how Rank Choice Voting would have stopped Florida from going to Bush. (Actually, it shouldn't have gone to Bush anyway, but that's a discussion for a different show.)

If you like discussions on how a functioning democracy should work, this is the episode for you.

That last part is really important. Actually ... It's all important, so make sure you listen.

In today's episode of Stupid Sexy Privacy, comedian and WAYWO.TV Reporter, Rosie Tran, talks about how much data your car is collecting on you. 

The bad news is, in the US, legislation to limit the collection and sale of this data to data brokers from car manufacturers is non-existent. 

The good news? There are still things you can do to protect yourself, like getting a cheap auxiliary cable and using that to connect to your car's entertainment system. Rosie explains.

Paris is the host of "Tech Won't Save Us", a podcast meant to stomp out all of your delusions about the advancement of technology. We talk about Uber, Tesla, self-driving cars, modern-day transportation, and how big-wigs like Elon Musk are pigeonholing our experience and growth towards a more feasible future.

If you're interested in autonomous vehicles and how they, and new city infrastructure, collect your data and spy on you, you'll want to listen to this episode.

Ditto if you hate Elon Musk, because as we'll reveal, he's just another tech bro trying to wedge himself between you and the thing you want to do so he can collect a fee.

"Road to Nowhere: What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong About The Future of Transportation" is Paris's first book, and it's a must-read.

P.S. We're pretty sure BJ has a crush on Paris too. 

In today's episode of Stupid Sexy Privacy, comedian and WAYWO.TV Reporter, Rosie Tran, talks about how your SmartTVs spy on you through a technology called Automatic Content Recognition.

We talk about burnout, personal interest creativity, and pushing back as a community. We also touch on the "Sub-Hope" genre, as well as the transition from teaching to providing umbrella education, Also being in a band and juggling that with burn-out. It's a solid episode. 

Javi talks about his disenchantment while working on Charmed, as well as being inspired to write The Middleman, a comic book he started work on in 1996. He talks about the journey from the page to the TV screen and the importance of the writers that brought emotion to the script. He also touches on the importance of timing and relevance with your material, and how differently it would impact popular culture if it was released at a different time.
