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.
