snowden pointed out that our intelligence community violated our civil liberties the best response u.s. intelligence leaders could muster for the public was. so when it comes to the question why wouldn't you want to sacrifice some of your personal data for greater good the key word here is some because we can't leave the door open for irreversible privacy violations and i doubt any of us want our data in the hands of silicon valley companies and government agencies that have already proven veil abuse it because there's no way to know they're only using it to record when we're . reporting from a. sorry about that reporting from my apartment is that again we kill we're back to the night all right thank you natalie i now have a new segment for you a little chat on other important news that we haven't yet covered it's with correspondent anders lee anderson thanks for joining me what do you got for us me one of the big problems with this pandemic is the response on a global level the lack of international cooperation you have the cost of p. e. skyrocketing and things are all all countries a

snowden i like that edward snowden as well as president i'm i'm a fan of that how we are going to thank you so much for taking the time to be here thanks for having me as good they are finally we go to redacted correspondent naomi care avani for some mind blowing oh no is on pandemics. the worst part of a pandemic in my opinion is everything gets cancelled movies concerts schools church bars get shut down however if you lived during the 1918 influenza pandemic most things were cancelled too. you still had a war you could go to world war one it was like a game of risk with higher stakes so they understand that the influenza virus of 1900 the deadliest disease in history which wiped out more people than the war itself really came at an inconvenient time for america i mean business was booming thanks to dropping on europe and the flu tended to kill younger people in army camps and trenches and on boats deploying soldiers but it's not like we're going to cancel a war like a 1st date or something and let some virus do all the killing i don't think so so as not to slow the war effort the amer

snowden as a reminder but that doesn't mean that things can't be done differently like now in the fight against the coronavirus civil liberty advocates have some suggestions 1st data driven decisions must be made by health officials not other government bodies such as law enforcement in addition surveillance tools need to be justified of clear purpose and its potential impact in the fight against covert $1000.00 must be established to wing it out against its costs which include its effect on individual rights 3rd tight restrictions should be outlined to how and by whom the data can be used and finally the data collection should expire when the virus goes away so should related surveillance these measures are not only reasonable but doable in fact right now engineers and other experts from around the globe are working on using smartphone technology to track the spread of the corona virus while respecting privacy all things considered technology can be a very important tool in times of emergency such as now even though we might have to give up a little more privacy for things to work and

snowden about privacy concerns that tracking programs raise. this is a discussion going on around the world. here is a snippet of that interview. take a listen. >> we're being made to depend on a system that we do not really understand and do not have that much control over. the only thing that we have left are rights, our ideals, our values as people. that's what they're coming for now, that's what they're asking us to give up. >> brian, snowden is right to note the security concerns, handing over information to the government and assuming we can trust this government or any government, it can be troubling to people. >> reporter: absolutely. and i think it really just boils down to who do you trust more, private companies who we give information to every day, or the federal government seeking access to this data? in both cases we're talking about what measures are acceptable in a public health crisis and a national emergency, jake. >> all right, brian fung, thank you so much, appreciate it. >>> spain is announcing the country is conducting a c

snowden has been arrested under it. but the law of 1917, the espionage act that year, among other things gave the government the power to censor the press. remember the magazine "the masses" that i talked about? its issue, august 1917, was last. that issue is printed, but it was banned from the u.s. mail. why? because sensors objected to several pieces of text and several cartoons. here's one of the cartoons they objected to and thought subversive. the liberty bell crumbling. so, the best magazine in the country was forced to cease publishing. years, thext four spring of 1917 through the spring of 1921, more than 400 issues of american newspapers or magazines were banned from the mail from 75 different obligations. in many cases, that meant the publication shutting down entirely. was america's chief press center? it's the guy in this picture. albert s burleson. he was the postmaster general and the law gave him the power to censor what went through the mail. he was a former congressman from texas, actually the first tex
