WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange addressed a major gathering of
computer experts Monday at the Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg,
Germany, calling on them to join forces in resisting government
intrusions on internet freedom and privacy. We play highlights from
Assange's speech, as well as the one given by Sarah Harrison, the
WikiLeaks member who accompanied Edward Snowden to Russia. We also hear
from independent journalist and security expert Jacob Appelbaum, who
reveals a spying tool used by the National Security Agency known as a
"portable continuous wave generator." The remote-controlled device works
in tandem with tiny electronic implants to bounce invisible waves of
energy off keyboards and monitors to see what is being typed. It works
even if the target computer is not connected to the Internet.
