Hi and merry christmas. I am honored to have a chance to speak with you and your family this year. Recently we learned that our governments, working in concert, have created system of worldwide mass surveillance watching everything we do.

Great Britain’s George Orwell warned us of the danger of this kind of information. The types of collection in the book, microphones, video cameras, TVs that watch us, are nothing compared to what we have available today. We have sensors in our pockets that track us everywhere we go. Think about what this means for the privacy of the average person. A child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all. They’ll never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves, an unrecorded, unanalyzed thought. And that is a problem. Because privacy matters. Privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be.

The conversation occurring today will determine the amount of trust we can place both in the technology that surrounds us and the government that regulates it. Together we can find a better balance, end mass surveillance and remind the government that if it really wants to know how we feel, asking is always cheaper than spying. For everyone out there listening, thank you and merry christmas.

Hallo und Frohe Weihnachten! Ich fühle mich geehrt, die Gelegenheit zu haben, heuer mit Ihnen und Ihrer Familie sprechen zu dürfen. Unlängst haben wir gelernt, dass unsere Regierungen in Zusammenarbeit ein weltweites Überwachungssystem geschaffen haben, das alles, was wir tun, beobachtet. Der Brite George Orwell hat uns vor den Gefahren solcher Information[ssammlung] gewarnt. Die Überwachungsmethoden in seinem Buch – Mikrofone, Videokameras, Fernseher die uns überwachen – sind nichts gegen das, was heute verfügbar ist. Wir tragen Sensoren in unseren Taschen, die aufzeichnen, wohin wir auch gehen.

Bedenken Sie, was das für die Privatsphäre eines durchschnittlichen Menschen bedeutet. Ein Kind, das heute geboren wird, wird ohne jegliche Vorstellung von Privatsphäre aufwachsen. Es wird niemals wissen, was es bedeutet, einen privaten Moment nur für sich zu haben; einen Gedanken, der nicht aufgezeichnet und analysiert wird. Das ist ein Problem, denn die Privatsphäre ist wichtig. Die Privatsphäre ist es, die uns ermöglicht herauszufinden, wer wir sind und wer wir sein wollen.

Die Debatte, die heute stattfindet, wird bestimmen, wie sehr wir sowohl der Technologie, die uns umgibt, als auch dem Staat, der sie reglementiert, vertrauen können. Gemeinsam können wir eine bessere Ausgewogenheit finden, die Massenüberwachung beenden und die Regierung daran erinnern: Wenn sie wirklich wissen will, was wir denken, ist Nachfragen immer günstiger als Spionieren. Für alle, die da draußen zuhören: Danke und Frohe Weihnachten.
