[wraggster]

codeusirae wrote in with news that Edward Snowden gave an alternative to the UK's yearly Christmas message (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Christmas_Message), speaking about his objections to mass indiscriminate surveillance by governments (http://blogs.channel4.com/paul-mason-blog/conception-privacy-snowdens-alternative-christmas-message/221). The message aired on channel four (http://www.channel4.com/programmes/alternative-christmas-message/4od#3631700) at 16:15. Slashgear posted a transcript (http://www.slashgear.com/snowdens-alternative-christmas-message-why-privacy-matters-transcript-24310022/). Quoting:"Think about what this means for the privacy of the average person. A child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all. They'll never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves — an unrecorded, unanalyzed thought. And that's a problem, because privacy matters. Privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be."
