US whistleblower Edward Snowden has warned about the global threat to privacy when he delivered the Channel 4 Alternative Christmas Message - his first recorded TV interview since he was given asylum in Russia.
Former US defence contractor Edward Snowden says he has completed what he set out to do, after months of releasing a mass of documents on the US spying on its citizens and other nations.
In a wide-ranging interview with the Washington Post, Mr Snowden said he did not want to change society but "I wanted to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself.”
“All I wanted was for the public to be able to have a say in how they are governed," he added.
