MSNBCW 03/10/2014
Farrow: Moments ago NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden wrapped up of his first live video appearance at South by South West Interactive in Austin, Texas. His interviews conducted by the lead technologist for The ACLU. And just moments ago he said this, take a listen. Snowden: The NSA, the sort of global mass surveillance that’s prying at all of these countries, not just the U.S. and it’s important to remember that this is a global issue. They’re setting fire to the future of the internet. The people who are in this room now you guys are the firefighters. We need you to fix this.

Farrow: (Edward Snowden's latest comments which are just coming in) right after Senator Feinstein's statements. He weighed in saying, quote (Snowden): “It's equally if not more concerning that we're seeing another Merkel effect where an elected official does not care at all that the rights of millions of ordinary citizens are violated by our spies but suddenly it's a scandal when a politician finds out the same thing is happening to them” Farrow: Quite the allegation.

Snowden: When you think about what has happened with the NSA over the last decade, in the post 9/11 era, the result has been an adversarial internet, sort of global free fire zone, for governments, that’s nothing that we ever asked for. It’s not what we want. And it’s something we need to protect against. What we think about the policies that have been advanced, sort of erosion of fourth amendment protections, the pro-active seizure of communications, there’s a policy of response that needs to occur, but there’s also a technical response that needs to occur. And it is the makers, it’s the thinkers, it’s the development community that can really craft those solutions and make sure we are safe.

ALJAZAM 04/17/2014
Sharp: Former U.S. spy contractor, Edward Snowden having his first known public conversation with Vladimir Putin. Snowden: Does Russia intercept, store or analyze in any way, the communications of millions of individuals? Putin: Mr. Snowden you are a former agent, and in the past I have something to do with intelligence. So we will talk between ourselves as professionals. Sharp: Putin’s refusal to hand over Snowden back in June severely strained ties with the United States. And with the deadlock over Ukraine, only getting worse, that relationship with Washington is unlikely to improve. Peter Sharp, al Jazeera, Moscow.

Snowden: So this is a part of what today's state surveillance looks like. But it's important to remember it doesn't stop with phone calls. It covers your e-mails, it covers your text messages, your web history, every Google search you’ve ever made and every plane ticket you bought, the books you buy at amazon.com that are the transactions that are sent in plain text and unencrypted. And anyone whether the NSA or some other foreign intelligence service can collect this and it store it for increasing periods of time. It includes who your friends are and how you communicate with them. It shows where you go and what you want to be. It also shows people in charge of state surveillance who you love. And it shows them where these people live.

CSPAN2 05/24/2014
Snowden: Now defenders of this kind of unconstitutional dragnet surveillance might say that there's no room for abuse because we have policies in place to address these concerns. But can policies that change with every new President and every new Congress and every new director of the NSA, really address the threat of building inside our own country this kind of architecture of oppression. What about other countries that don't abide by our policies? Is leaving our communications insecure so that the NSA can monitor them and those of our adversaries, really worth the cost? And we have to remember the policies aren’t perfect, and despite policies, I, as an NSA analyst sitting at my desk had the technical authority to wiretap anyone from a federal judge to the President of the United States without getting out of my chair as long as I had a private email address and that's not a boast.

Snowden: The NSA, the Russian intelligence service, the Chinese intelligence service, any intelligence service in the world that has significant funding and a real technological research team can own that phone the minute it connects to their network. As soon as you turn it on, it can be theirs. They can turn it into a microphone. They can take pictures from it, they can take the data off of it. But it's important to understand that these things are typically done on a targeted basis. Right? It's only done when people go, this phone is suspicious. I think it's being held by a drug dealer. I think it is being used by a terrorist.

Williams: Can anyone turn it on remotely if it's off? Can they turn on apps? Did anyone know or care that I Googled the final score of the Rangers/Canadiens game last night because I was traveling here? Snowden: I would say yes to all of those. They can absolutely turn them on with the power turned off the device. That's pretty scary. The thing about the Rangers game is also scary.
