Episode Synopsis

🚀 Freedom Tech Weekend – Season 1 Finale 🎉
In this final episode we dive deep into the hidden truth behind privacy promises from AI services and VPN providers. From Anthropic’s new data‑retention policy to real‑world VPN log scandals (PureVPN, NordVPN), we show you why “trust‑me‑bro” isn’t enough.
🔐 Learn how Maple’s private‑AI platform uses secure enclaves, confidential computing, and open‑source verification so you can actually verify that your data isn’t being logged. We break down Zero Data Retention (ZDR) policies, show you how to audit VPNs, and give you a step‑by‑step checklist for confirming any service’s security claims.
