NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has delivered an “alternative Christmas message” on the UK’s Channel 4 in which he says that “a child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all,” and that the kinds of surveillance outlined in Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four “are nothing compared to what we have available today.”
Channel 4 has broadcast an annual alternative to the Queen’s Christmas Day address to the UK since 1993.
