<description>In this episode, Digital Security expert Greg Slepak talks about how Big Tech lies to us and how vulnerable our personal information really is when we interact with companies that sell our data. He talks about how centralized apps can be easily manipulated and the problems with owning a home virtual assistant device like Alexa or Echo. We go into ways to protect your privacy online as well as finding developers and apps who value your privacy by making end-to-end encrypted apps that are decentralized.

Greg is also the founder of the okTurtles Foundation, a non-profit that supports beneficial decentralization technologies. He talks about an app he just released called Group Income, which is an end-to-end encrypted software that allows for you and your community to create your own financial safety net.
