Your Operating System Is Spying On You (And You Agreed To It)

Video Description

The truth about operating systems spying on you (and how to fight back)So many of you asked me to break this down—and honestly, the results are worse than I expected. Your OS isn’t just helping you, it’s tracking you. Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android all log what you do by design, and Microsoft’s new Recall feature proves just how far they’ll go. In this video, I’m showing you what your OS is really capturing, the tools buried inside every system, and the few platforms that actually give you control back. What you’ll learn in this video: • How Windows Recall records your screen every five seconds by default • Why OS telemetry (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android) has been quietly running since 2015 • The overlap between “diagnostics” and commercial spyware like Pegasus • Why privacy is never the default—it’s the resistance • Three levels of digital resistance: habits, Linux/Graphene, and Qubes OS • What “AI as the OS” really means and how it weaponizes your data • The mindset shift to stop playing defense and start building autonomy 🔮 My Consulting Post-quantum security & cryptography advisory → https://lamarrlabs.com 🧠 My Newsletter The Quantum S.H.I.F.T. — biweekly insights on post-quantum cybersecurity → https://learn.addielamarr.com/newsletters/the-quantum-s-h-i-f-t 📘 My Courses Zero to Cyber Hero — a step-by-step roadmap into cybersecurity → https://learn.addielamarr.com/zero-to-cyber-hero-waitlist-discount 🖇️ Let’s Connect https://www.linkedin.com/in/addie-clark/ Sources & Links 1.
