The Strange Microsoft Root Certificate – Mass Surveillance Enabler? + Q&A
Whoever puts a root certificate on your computer can generate a certificate for any website, even fake ones. Well strangely enough Microsoft Root Certificates, which Microsoft calls a “Private Certificate Authority” is on Microsoft Windows, AND on Linux. What’s up with this?
Basically this empowers Microsoft to do mass surveillance on any machine just about.
Unfortunately, it isn’t simple to just untrust it.

Can you cover push notification tracking and bow it works?
I've always balked at people discussing certs. I raise self-signed certs as a great exercise into who tf are you versus some entity far away you have no idea about. Security is always about what is right in front of you. Take the location away, insert root certs, voila.
I am on tmobile/sprint which use a lot of 5g towers, do any brax phones support 5g networks, I m afraid of losing coverage in 5g only areas, can you help me?
Looking forward to seeing you on Locals!
I know people that live stream south of you in the middle of the Soren Desert, that get a better signal lol. Are you using a degoogled phone with a VPN and a VPN on the Router for double protection. You should do these on a dedicated channel, just saying lol
Are there any computers which don't run on Windows?
Tell us where you want to go and I will be there
question: lets say one highly skilled programmer insert 1 line into a linux distro which allows a backdoor in basically every distro even its open source
guaranteed is nothing – unless i always listen on wireshark&co and even then … what is besides that a selling point to linux "safety"
dont get me wrong – i am in favour of privacy, open source – but recently this thought troubles me – who checks those open source distros objectivly with skill
Of all the nights to miss your live chat! I am rotf about the "junk pics." I had questions about the certificates too. Oh well, next time.
Great podcast Rob! It may be that your Live Streams are too long, requires a big commitment to follow… But we will follow on Rumble or Locals.
And for sure after I wrote the former comment it took a long long time before the next block of ads came. YT is strange.
Thank you for the stream.
1:07:11 😱🤯😲 What!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Odysee is my FAVORITE!!! Rumble freaking sucks!! They're software and features are absolute crap!!! Worse than YouTube Alpha, and that's saying something for anyone who remembers that far back. The Odysee player experience is a million times better than Rumble. I hope Trump or Andrew Torba buy it and integrate it into their platform.
Are you going to do a video about the apple/google push notification spying affair?
The browsers have been passing the buck to the os instead of the browser. Except for mozila.
I can understand you lose subs when you stream. It is not the content but double ads every three minutes is hard to survive.
we are zucked
U tube more like Lube Tube😅
Why would you use a browser that automatically restores the manually deleted certificates or automatically installs new ones without your knowledge?
Rob, ProxMox is an open source Debian distro with web control panel for KVMs and Linux containers.
So keeping and running all my apps on a USB stick, and making a habit of using it on other computers in public places, would keep me fairly anonymous. Unless someone went to cameras and facial ID to trace who was at all the logged locations. No?
I thought pro my x was a hypervisor that you ran on bare meteal.
MICROSOFT HAS B3EN INFILTRATED, NOW SUBVERTED BY SVU ACTING AS ISRALIE EMGINEERS.
SAME GOES FOR INTEL & NVIDIA
thanks for this vid! even pentoo has the MS certs on them, which is interesting. there are also a bunch of other root certs whose utility is unknown. could you do a vid on which root certs you would recommend keeping, and why (eg.which services they would be associated with)?
😄 👍 👌…
How do I get rid of or find the Microsoft Root Certs in Linux?
rob , add an UPI payment interface on locals
I love your video idea

Rob, could the truth be you are providing key information that cannot be easily censured on this is likely why youtube will ensure algorithm's scores you negative and you get many unknown anomalies
I’ll follow you on Rumble. Very grateful for what you do.
Can Microsoft using there root certificates assign your device to a certain workgroup?
