Trying VPN targets...

EDIT: Right. The video is available in USA.

hmm..

Try going to Vice or Wired they both are offering the video on their websites.
Just google Snowden going black and you should find someway to connect from a site that is offering the video.

Well, he basically shows how to de-solder the cameras (2) and the microphones (3 in an array) from your phone, and says that "if your phone has been hacked you will never know."

[Evildrum]

I used to disconnect the battery from the cellphone till they started making cells that you could not do that with.
Would be nice if their was a company that came up with a cell phone that you could check personally to see if it has been tampered with and designed to keep big brother tracking out.
Sucks that we live in a world that continually steps towards less privacy and the sell job is the younger kids do not care about privacy so neither should you gramps!

I wonder how Snowden copes with being spied upon by the FSB/KGB. Because they are undoubtedly watching him closely. Notice how careful he is not to criticise Putin - he is scared witless.

He has no reason to criticize Putin. Putin has not done him any harm. On the other hand, if Putin didn't helped him, then Edward Snowden would have been dead already, just like the tens of thousands of other whistleblowers from the Western nations. And I agree that the FSB/KGB spy on suspects. But what about the FBI? As Snowden revealed, they spy upon almost every single resident in the United States.

A much simpler solution: a piece of electrical tape over the lens.

He keeps criticising random people who have done him no harm. For example he was pontificating on Britain a few months ago, but what has Britain done to him? He was also waxing lyrical about the Panama papers - but carefully refrained from mentioning that they showed Putin looting Russia on a colossal scale.

The man is frit, and that undermines everything he says. If he was really into transparency and honesty, he'd be calling out Putin as well. But he doesn't - either he is happy for Russians to be looted in a way that Americans are not - or he's plain terrified of Putin. If he is terrified, how do we know that the things he is saying are his real thoughts and he is not being made to say them because Putin has him by the short and curlies?

Are you sure that the Brits did him no harm? The MI6 was actively collaborating with the CIA to arrest him. They even sent teams to kidnap Snowden, although their attempts were not successful.

And regarding the Panama Papers, a few of the Russian officials were named in the list, but Putin's name was not there. Pro-Western oligarchs, most of whom are now based in London (Mikhail Khodorkovsky for example), and living under the British protection are the ones who looted Russia. Putin banished these demons from Russia and recovered a part of the money stolen by them. Still... there is no point in arguing with you. Your arguments are similar to someone complaining about the prevalence of pedophilia and at the same time giving refuge to James Alfred Cooper or Earl Bradley.

And what about the offshore company set up by David Cameron? Why you are keeping silent about that?

Cameron didn't set up an offshore company. His father had a company in Panama - because he was trading goods in Panama. Completely legal and above board. If his dad wanted to avoid tax he'd have moved to Panama as well (which would have given him an exemption), but didn't.

Russia is a mafia state - and Snowden by his silence is condoning it. His fan boys don't like it but his silence on the Russian mafiosi stuff undermines pretty much every thing he says. I wouldn't be surprised if they were paying him to spout stuff knowing it will all be lapped up by his uncritical "true believers" who badly want to believe that Obama is a great satan while simultaneously believing that when Putin loots Russia it is because he loves Russia and Russia is better off looted. 

You guys are mirror images of those lefties who rushed to defend Chavez while he was looting Venezuela. Even the arguments are identical - Obama and the USA were the Great Satan and the Chavistas were looting Venezuela to save it, etc etc.

You have never been to Russia and you don't know anything about that country. Russia used to be a mafia state when it was ruled by the American puppet Yeltsin. Once Putin replaced Yeltsin, the looting slowed down, and the situation started to improve. One of the reasons why Putin enjoys an approval rating of more than 80%. And I don't care much about Obama. He is a pansy not worthy of any mention.

I am not a fan of Hugo Chavez. But he did a lot to improve the social and economic situation in the poor neighborhoods of Venezuela. Maduro fucked it up, but it is not Chavez's fault.

[Evildrum]

I would not judge a man so harshly that has opened the worlds eyes to shady business and is now forced to live in a Country that could end him at any time. Doubt people criticizing him would be able to muster up enough sack to do what he has done.
He does what he can now and that means there is room for others to fill in the blanks for him.

@TechShare
He also disabled the microphones and replaced them,so that was interesting for me to watch and think about.

Thanks!
I was very disappointed that I couldn't access the first one. Is that original uploading only available in the US?

Regarding the subject, the real issue is that we've lost control on the digital things we own. I don't have a smartphone, and I never will. I have a tablet without a SIM card, so I have some kind of control on it. And I'm writing this on my laptop, but I have a lot of software on it to control it, so I hope I'm pretty safe.
