Not 100% in agreement with some of her videos, but I believe this one is spot on, and probably easier to understand by regular folk.

You need to watch it. You can commit 12 minutes of your time to understand the very real threats to your liberty. You would spend those 12 minutes just flipping through shit posts anyways.

I don't need to hear it myself since I think I'm already privacy conscious. The suggestion was that I forward the link to other people, but it's really too long for that. Thus the request for a written or at least shorter version.

It is long by today's standards, but that's because it's not a simple subject. It does a great job condensing a lot of information into that 12 minutes and it's as entertaining as such a video can be. You're right that a lot of people won't watch it because it's 12 minutes, and that is a problem in itself, especially when they'll gladly watch 24 thirty second TikTok videos in the same amount of time that are all completely worthless.

Is there a transcript? I'm sure the relevant info can be digested in much less than 12 minutes.

Yeah I spend more time than that reading shitposts as someone said. But that's because I like reading. I hate video and I don't want to watch it if I can read the info instead. Tik Tok is not for me.
