In 2013, a 29-year-old US government intelligence employee came to Hong Kong to secretly meet with journalists. Edward Snowden leaked tens of thousands of top-secret documents showing that his employer, the National Security Agency (NSA), was illegally seizing the private records of billions of individuals who had not been suspected of any wrongdoing. Becoming one of the world’s most polarising whistle-blowers, Snowden revealed that the US was spying on countries and leaders, worked together with big tech to gain access to user’s private data, and was collaborating with national security agencies of Australia, Canada and the UK in its mass surveillance. What were the repercussions of the Snowden leaks, and what other major disclosures have taken place since that have exposed a system of illegal mass surveillance and privacy breaches in the digital age?

Snowden will always be a hero. It is too bad it didn't wake people up but he remains a hero.
@@UsernameLogin-ij7gk Not a people who are so easily divided and distracted as we are now certainly.
I'm afraid that the ease with which they control us is on us though not them.
@@UsernameLogin-ij7gk Educate those I can. It is a marathon not a sprint and it is all I can do.
the guy is a traitor. He literally moved to Russia with Putin's permission. What do you think he does there? Work @ a coffee shop? Of course not. He's working for the Kremlin spying on Americans.
@Akira you think the police do anything? they're part of the corrupt system. Also, I'll repeat myself; Snowden now lives in RUSSIA & Putin approved it. What does that tell you? Snowden is a traitor. He's using his skills to Attack Russia's enemies. Why else would Putin have him? To play guitar or read him a bedtime story?
@Username Login We can’t do much because the U.S. is not a democracy.
And they said the Chinese government spying on their civilians and disrespecting their privacy..what a joke 🤣🤣
Their just doing what the Chinese goverment is doing but on a lower scale and more chill
@@niasp5181 Lower scale? You have not watched Snowden? You should know that Meta is fined for $1.2-1.5 billion by EU for transferring data to US.
Whatever us said about other govt they are actually doing it and worse, e.g mkultra
Other countries can’t beat US at spying game, they are the best in the world, Number One 👍🏻
@@niasp5181 It's nothing about scale. It's just who control the media.
The man did THE WHOLE WORLD a favour.
The world has known these facts for thousands of years. Only some Americans actually didn't realise.
Then they yell at the TikTok CEO and banned TikTok but FB, IG, and so on are still not banned
because these fks from us government use these tools to collect massive data on each and every person on this planet using it. US is the worst spy and human rights abuser, next to russia and china.
Yeah, it’s probably because they’d rather not have China have information on their people, they want to be the only ones with that information. Idk much about China, but maybe they banned certain things there due to privacy concerns.
I personally say that it’s best to just educate everyone on privacy and if they want to give all their information over to China, the US, Russia, etc., then let them.
They banned Tiktok cuz its not US company. They said if Tiktok sell it to US then it'd be all fine. That says a lot
@@user-qd4gf8hg8f right, it's not about national security, it's about money.
@@avocadotoast4934 Well sorta, you dont want the Chinese spying on you that's for sure, they are nasty
We are still trying to prosecute a whistle blower a decade after the fact.
Depressing...
not we, the rich and powerful, the perpetual enemies of the people
@@CyberBadgerz Tru
Snowden isn't a whistleblower. He never availed himself of 5 U.S.C. § 2302(b)(8). Too late now. Putin owns Snowden. Isn't it odd that Snowden has never made any disclosures about war criminal Putin or Putin's corrupt government and oligarchs? Snowden is Putin's useful idiot and a future spy trading chip.
Eeeh, yeah a crime is still a crime.
@@danielwells774Hm? So what you're saying the Goverment and the one who provide them is the one at fault because they break the privacy law and need to be the one that get punnished for their crime?
I also agree with you
Cyber operation is not only about invading your privacy. It is also impact us by changing our opinion by using any kind necessary, like memes.
@Donnell Okafor That is a meme now 😂
Haha, Monsoon moment
@Donnell Okafor Now, that's a pretty meme! Exquisite!
The thing is, government and corporations are notoriously bad at making memes
That's why it's important to always be an independent thinker.
Nothing has changed, they're still doing what they used to do
I’m curious how much data will be collected with the new Apple Vision, that AR/VR headset. It sees so much stuff, and in 4K resolution. If people start to wear that everywhere they go, it’s like 24/7 walking surveillance systems. I’m probably wrong, but still, it’ll be dystopian once it sells for significantly less than the current $3499.
most likely even worse now that they mastered more tools and tech...
Yet, people is also still accepting it an just do their routine like nothing happen.
@@user-sf9gs2pg1bthey already have 24/7 surveillance system, it's called a smart phone...
Yep, incredibly naive to think a global superpower would change their ways because of one Mr. Snowden. If Assange didn't change anything, nothing beyond enlightening the average civilian was going to happen. Business as usual.
Snowden was lucky enough to ended up accidentally in Moscow's airport not in some other democratic country with high democratic values
It saved him from Julian Assanges fate
It is not accidental. China sent him to Russia.
Very true
@@Justiceforall-xi3uh Proof please.
@@Tia-Louisa It's not that simple. The CIA and the SEALs formed a team to assassinate Snowden, but they were annihilated by Chinese special forces
Wish Assange and his family were in Russia free like Snowden.
Both heroes
He should win noble prize for what he did, he save the world from extensive and harmful US espionage.
You think China and Russia are better?
If he was Chinese, the US would give him a Nobel. But he isn't, so he's a criminal.
nobel prize is a scam
@@hoa-mpls2422 whataboutism at it's finest.
@@hoa-mpls2422: No one is saying that they're "better". But the US was far more advanced about it. Revealing government crimes, whether it's the US, Russia, China, or otherwise, does not make you a criminal.
He is the real hero he gave up his freedom
the guy is a traitor. He literally moved to Russia with Putin's permission. What do you think he does there? Work @ a coffee shop? Of course not. He's working for the Kremlin spying on Americans.
He didn't give up his freedom, LOL. He RAN AWAY like a coward.
@@nishihundan1257 coward for what? For snitching the stinky murica did to all the side of the world? He's a real hero not sum fiction character like Captain America or Iron man you spent money on to colection all of them merchandise 🤭😂
Peoples whose tells the truth is real hero
Concerning Huawei, UK didn't follow suit, they were forced into it by USA.
American accusing Huawei. 😂
The world biggest thief is crying loud.
For eveyones information he ISNT a spy, he is a whistleblower
A hero
@@Frivals 💯 terrible they called him A Spy in the title
@@jsadecki1 his job was doing the spy for USA until he decided that is wrong
Legally he’s a spy. Morality wise he’s a whistleblower.
He is a criminal
As a Homeland Security major who have been through many documents from the various government agencies, scrutinizing the US Patriotic Act as late as last week l, I find it interesting that the public did nothing to have Snowden returned to America without any charge. The patriotic act definitely allowed and still allows government overreach on citizens civil liberties and constitutional rights. Not like what he did was false, he spoke truth because some codes have been amended however, congress have failed the citizens. Think about the national database for Muslims created to spy on Muslims in NY, the drone strikes in Syria, Afghan invasion etc, all permitted under the patriotic act and endorsed by the executive branch. No one from the government has been held accountable particularly those sanctioning the acts but they want to put Snowden away for life.
After all these revelations, the UN & West is more concerned with the surveillance done by China Malaysia Korea, etc, but not with the countries he exposed 😂
Because they love to project and blame shift to divert attention away from their own CIA espionage crime. 😂
" We found that facts had become more persuasive than fear." -Edward Snowden
For more on Edward Snowden: sc.mp/2cuz
To sum up the whole point, basically saying Uncle Sam can spy on us but we are not allowed to do the same.
Nothing has changed, people still will give up their privacy for nothing in return
I actually thought the government was going to send assassins after him the way it's done in the movies
They try everyday
like julia assage
Oh have no doubt that they tried/ are still trying. He’s probably still high on the FBI’s most wanted list. I think their only problem was the large public solidarity with Snowden. They might have made it worse for themselves, otherwise they would have maybe gotten him already.
What are some of the things that the US government were accusing the Chinese government doing again?
selling chopsticks & fried rice
Edward Snowden is a true American and a patriot to his country.
Snowden is a hero of the world. I know he feels uncomfortable now being in Russia, but it is Russia which gave him peaceful life.
the guy is a traitor. He literally moved to Russia with Putin's permission. What do you think he does there? Work @ a coffee shop? Of course not. He's working for the Kremlin spying on Americans.
Do you deserve a peaceful life after committing treason?
Why would he feel uncomfortable in Russia? In Russia life is a couple of times better than in the West.
@@SJAutomotiveDesign you're pro Russian then with Putin a fascist dictator ruling the land?
@@SJAutomotiveDesignfor the elites and the rich
Angela Merkel's phone was bugged and who would the party of interest to know conversations between her & another party.
I think because of/after that,, a lot of people put a tape on their cellphone or laptop camera now
I would but it looks weird. Maybe I could buy one of those sliding camera covers.
Changed? Nothing.
It just another summer with hot wind passing thorough your face. It is forgotten in weeks and no one care about it again.
I truly hope and believe this is the turning point against US anglo Saxon global hegemony
Im no understand why my China have many camera everywhere 🤗
@@ToiChutGongFlu What about London, UK and New York, US ?
@@ToiChutGongFlu of Mr Joe
@@ToiChutGongFlu If you are afraid of China's massive surveillance system, then why are you posting online? Nice try wherever you are from.
@@ToiChutGongFlu For safety and security. Let's not forget terrorist separatists attacks.
Exactly the same thing they accused China 🇨🇳 😂
So basically the US is the same as China, fair enough.
China has more surveillance though. I wonder how do US catch bad guys too. I'm guessing they are just look and no action
Snowden gave actual proof with actual evidences not speculative and baseless claims of the US regime’s vast spying worldwide. In Huawei’s case, there has not been a single shred of proof of spying nor intentions to spy. And yet, the US propaganda successfully fostered the fear that the CPC is a “brutal, evil power with imperialists intentions using Huawei to infiltrate and spy on countries ”. The tragedy of mankind. Preferring to see what they want to see.
Exactly 😂
All governments do the same. It wasn't big news back in 2013 either.
Mr snowden is a hero
What changed? Nothing. People are actually give more of their data mindlessly than ever.
FACTS.
What's changed? NOTHING. In fact, life here has gotten worse for the most part.
The problem is that they have all this data of your life. Every aspect of your life is laid out. Even your desires, motives, secret lives you keep from others. Anything that you have searched, looked at, uploaded, downloaded. Any call, every text, every interaction in front of a camera. Now, in the past we've had instances where any government entity can say that YOU are the enemy...for whatever reason. Remember the McCarthy era? Well back then, they didnt know that much about you. It was mainly footwork, tracing leads, talking to people who you interacted with, interviews. And for whatever reasons, even if it was a family member who was sympathetic to Communism, if they wanted something from you or felt you were a threat, they could threaten to destroy your life and credibility simply by association to this person. It was a genuine fear for a lot of people. Now what would happen if in the future, a future we know nothing about, the government will say YOU are a threat. Whether they deem your religion as terroristic, your political views, your hobbies and pursuits. The amount of information they have on you is staggering and any data they have will be used against you. No matter if it was years back and youre in you're 50s and a different person than when young. It will be used again you. Of course this is never turned against true threats. You can see that from the number of mass shootings and crazed political riots. No, these will be turned against true innocent people. Those that walk to the beat of a different drum will be labeled as a threat. Watch and wait.
Totally agree with you, and none of it is their business.
Forget privarcy. It's about the illusion of democracy, the illusion that people have the power.
No wonder, supposedly non-democratic countries go about their business without worry while the Democratic ones continue to be delusional.
I'm always saying this about democracy: there are only two choices that people can choose, the evil one or the more evil one, they all have the same agenda at the end of the day, but people still think that the choice is in their hands. They're brainwashed with smooth and covert propagandas, especially by giving a false identity as the strongest and most 'moral' country (hero) and making their 'enemy' as the villain.
Government surveillance and democracy are not mutually exclusive. I get that it's really hard for you to understand, but in a parliamentary democracy, the people don't get to vote on every single bill or act that is passed.
The Huawei situation is non sense and has nothing to with Snowden, as the leaks showed that no real backdoors exist in hardware directly, but hardware is instead intercepted and modified with spy chips or hacked.

Great overview!
"Facts have become more persuasive than fear"
I LOL
In the day and age of social engineering, perception engineering, fake news, fake media, hackable everything including people. Facts mean less and less if the question remains of how did that come to be? Who's the souce? What motivations may be present to create subject matter? Where did the information originate? What purpose might this serve? Etc. Apply Higailian dialectic insight to your analysis.
This had all the "weight" of telling people "the police are outside watching for speeders".
Nonsense
bro leaked the eagle eye.
Nothing, that's what's changed
From what little I know about - Snowden is a hero - whistle blower. He deserves a presidentail pardon. Thank you Snowden for your sacrifices. You will likely never get what you deserve - a medal an millions of $ for your suffering.
It is nothing new. In 2007 I was joking with my wife that if the gooberment want to listen to our conversations they are welcome to but don’t complain about the language you hear. Six years later…SNOWDEN
what changed? snowden's home address🤣

Ppl get dumber and more addicted to the fake life they wish they had. I've literally had ppl say to me "I don't care I'm spied on" and never look up from their phone the whole time they were saying it or after.
The truth hurts....
there is not such thing as privacy since smartphones.
This has changed imo: what is a NSA?
Bravo Snowden❤
Snowdon is the Brave Anti Oppression Activist.
Tbh, nothing much had change, they just made you think changes was applied
His leaks had shocked noone except himself
The question is what he is doing in Russia
Why do I feel like the NSA/CIA is still using this technology yet tech companies have been used as a scapegoat
People like this should be president they know whats right for the people instead of holding secret and telling the public false hope, we need to get together as human beings and dont wait for them to save us, we can save ourself.

HOW ABOUT CHINA? I THINK ALL GOVERNMENTS OF EVERY COUNTRY WILL DO THIS?

They are still doing it until now. Every countries, but the big one's are (US/Canada/Aus/UK), Russia, and China!
I guess somebody else should have paid better attention in it back in the day now if you pay attention sometimes when you sign your applications to job employment like some of the ones I've seen here in Virginia you sign over your data when you're not working for them it doesn't give you a specific amount of time how long they can keep it or when you go in into the jail cells
