Posts tagged freedom This past Sunday evening former NSA contractor Edward Snowden sat down for an interview with German television network ARD. The interview has been intentionally blocked from the US public, with virtually no major broadcast news outlets covering this story. In addition, the video has been taken down almost immediately every time it’s posted on YouTube. In contrast, this was treated as a major political event in both print and broadcast media, in Germany, and across much of the world. In the interview, Mr. Snowden lays out a succinct case as to how these domestic surveillance programs undermine and erode human rights and democratic freedom. “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” In the past several months, we have been provided with instructive lessons on the nature of state power and the forces that drive state policy. And on a closely related matter: the subtle, differentiated concept of transparency. The source of the instruction, of course, is the trove of documents about the National Security Agency surveillance system released by the courageous fighter for freedom Edward J. Snowden, expertly summarized and analyzed by his collaborator Glenn Greenwald in his new book, “No Place to Hide.” The documents unveil a remarkable project to expose to state scrutiny vital information about every person who falls within the grasp of the colossus - in principle, every person linked to the modern electronic society. Nothing so ambitious was imagined by the dystopian prophets of grim totalitarian worlds ahead. It is of no slight import that the project is being executed in one of the freest countries in the world, and in radical violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights, which protects citizens from “unreasonable searches and seizures,” and guarantees the privacy of their “persons, houses, papers and effects.” Appearing by telepresence robot, Edward Snowden speaks at TED2014 about surveillance and Internet freedom. The right to data privacy, he suggests, is not a partisan issue, but requires a fundamental rethink of the role of the internet in our lives — and the laws that protect it. “Your rights matter,” he says, "because you never know when you’re going to need them.” Chris Anderson interviews, with special guest Tim Berners-Lee.

Hedges says that the Obama administration’s monitoring of Associated Press phone records continues a pattern of targeting press freedom that began with WikiLeaks. “I find all of these measures to essentially shut down the freedom of information – including the persecution of Julian Assange and Bradley Manning – as symptomatic of a reconfiguration of our society into a totalitarian security and surveillance state,” Hedges says. “One where anyone who challenges the official narrative, who digs out cases of torture, war crimes – which is of course what Manning and Assange presented to the American public – is going to be ruthlessly silenced. Plastic 3-D gun inventor talks gun control, freedom of information. The Internal Revenue Service doesn’t believe it needs a search warrant to read your e-mail. Newly disclosed documents prepared by IRS lawyers say that Americans enjoy “generally no privacy” in their e-mail, Facebook chats, Twitter direct messages, and similar online communications — meaning that… The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

Edward Snowden: Ovako ćemo vratiti Internet Pojavivši se teleprisutnošću pomoću robota, Edward Snowden govori na TED2014 o nadziranju i slobodi Interneta. Pravo na privatnost podataka, tvrdi on, nije pitanje pristranosti, već zahtijeva duboko promišljanje o ulozi Interneta u našim životima - i zakonima koji to štite. "Vaša prava su bitna", smatra on, "jer nikada ne znate kada ćete ih trebati." Chris Anderson intervjuira, a poseban gost je Tim Berners-Lee.
