‘Government has your d*ck pics’

BRITISH comedian John Oliver and NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden have reframed the government surveillance debate in terms we can all understand: personal nude photos.

During an interview in Russia for Last Week Tonight, Mr Snowden said he felt vindicated when people around the world took notice of government spying thanks to the secrets contained in troves of US intelligence documents he released.

"I think we're seeing something amazing, which is that if you ask the American people to make tough decisions to confront tough issues to think about hard problems, they'll actually surprise you," he said.

"OK, here's the problem," Oliver responded. "I did ask some Americans, and boy, did it surprise me."

The TV host played videos of Americans who had no idea who Snowden was, with many mistaking for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

Oliver then showed a video of people being interviewed about having their personal nude photos stolen, which got them more fired up.

"If I had knowledge that the US government had a picture of my d*ck, I would be very pissed off," one man said.

"Well, the good news is there's no program named 'The D*ck Pic Program,'" Snowden said after watching the video. "The bad news is [the government's] still collecting everybody's information — including your d*ck pics."

He went on to explain that nude photos aren't seen as a big deal among US spies because they are seen "all the time".

"When you send your junk through Gmail, that's stored on Google's servers," Snowden said. "Google moves data from data centre to data centre — invisibly to use without your knowledge — your data could be moved outside the borders of the United States, temporarily. When your junk was passed by Gmail, the NSA caught a copy of that … PRISM is how they pull your junk out of Google with Google's involvement."

After a pause, he adds: "I guess I never thought about putting it in the context of your junk."
