  • “Open the Snowden Files!” Raising New Issues of Public Interest
    “Open the Snowden Files!” Raising New Issues of Public Interest Krystian Woznicki Is there a global surveillance industry, in which states and corporations share interests and files beyond democratic legitimation and control? By raising this question and partly answering it, the Snowden files have proven to be of public interest. This is emphasized by the fact, that they have prompted a great, exceptional media narrative -- if only for its unusual duration (unfolding over the course of more than a year and stimulating a variety of debates). But the political and social impact has been fairly limited. Why has there been no mass protest? Why no major upheaval? My thesis: The public interest has not been exhausted yet. This has also to do with the fact, that the access to the documents of the NSA-Gate remains closed. Material, that one exceptionally brave citizen put together "at the risk of his life" (Constanze Kurz) because he considered it to be of public interest -- this material is not at the disposal of the public now. It has been rendered unaccessible again, devoid of public control. This blocks the democratic potential of the Snowden disclosures. Only a very small percentage of those files has been made available to the public so far. A small circle of people decides about that, being able to access, read, analyze, interpret and publish the Snowden files. Those who belong to the small circle of people tend to argue, that this has to do with security reasons. In this sense one can say, that the leaked files have been "secured" in order to prevent bigger harm.

  • Secret Government Searches and Digital Civil Liberties
    Secret Government Searches and Digital Civil Liberties By Neil Richards* Perhaps surprisingly, the most compelling moment in Oliver Stone’s “Snowden” biopic is the sex scene. Halfway through this movie about government surveillance and whistleblowing, the audience is shown a graphic and seemingly gratuitous sexual encounter involving Edward Snowden (played by Joseph Gordon Levitt) and his girlfriend Lindsay Mills (played by Shailene Woodley). In the midst of their passion, Snowden’s eyes rest on Lindsay’s open laptop, the empty eye of its camera gazing towards them. In a flash, he recalls an earlier event in which NSA contractors hacked laptop cameras to secretly spy on surveillance subjects in real time. Edward and Lindsay’s mood was ruined, to say the least, by the prospect of government agents secretly watching their intimate activities. The scene evokes George Orwell’s famous warning about telescreens, the omnipresent surveillance devices in Big Brother’s Oceania, by which the Thought Police could secretly watch anyone at any time.1 It also has grounding in reality. The use of millions of hacked webcams as monitoring devices was a program known as “Optic Nerve,” which was part of the Snowden revelations.2 Another program leaked by Snowden involved the surveillance of the pornography preferences of jihadi radicalizers (including at least one “U.S. person”), with the intention being the exposure of their sexual fantasies to discredit them in the Muslim world.3 Snowden himself famously appeared on John Oliver’s HBO show “Last Week Tonight,” humorously but effectively reducing unchecked government surveillance to the basic proposition that secret surveillance allowed the government, among other things, to “get your dick pics.”4 * Thomas & Karole Green Professor of Law, Washington University School of Law; Affiliate Scholar, The Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School; Affiliated Fellow, Yale Information Society Project.

    SNOWDEN – Film at CONCA VERDE on 27.02.17 Talk by Joel ORMSBY Have you ever imagined you live in a world where the government are watching your every movement? You are about to watch a film which discusses the reality of this idea. The film is based on the real story of Edward Snowden who went from obscurity to being a globally known figure overnight, and will go down in history as one of America’s most famous whistle-blowers. A ‘whistle-blower’ is someone who tells people in authority or the public about dishonest or illegal practices about a government or company. Edward was a 29-year-old former technical assistant for the CIA and former contractor for the USA government. Whilst working for them he copied and later leaked highly classified information from within the NSA (the National Security Agency for electronic espionage). This info revealed massive covert global surveillance operations ran by the American government in cooperation with many European governments. The leaked info caused a worldwide scandal with many countries reacting furiously over the alleged US spying activities. Cast and Crew The film was directed by Academy Award®-winning director Oliver Stone, who produced Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Wall Street and JFK. The film was written by Stone himself and Kieran Fitzgerald, based on the books The Snowden Files by Luke Harding and Time of the Octopus by Anatoly Kucherena. The film stars Joseph Gordon Levitt who started in American TV comedies such as Roseanne and 3 rd Rock from the Sun.
