-Duncan Campbell is an investigative journalist, author, consultant and television producer specialising in privacy, civil liberties and surveillance issues. His best-known investigations led to major legal clashes with successive British governments.  Campbell now also works and is recognised as a forensic expert witness on computers and communications data.  +The leaking of top secret documents by Edward Snowden is the most important event in understanding the true extent of the mass spying operations of the NSA, GCHQ and partners.  
  
-**[[ https://www.openrightsgroup.org | Javier Ruiz from Open Rights Group  ]]**+But how have the Snowden files changed the game for citizens wishing to protect their privacy, and journalists their sources? Brighton-based investigative journalist, Duncan Campbell, talks about how far and how deep and how long the US NSA and Britain’s GCHQ have set out secretly to subvert the security, safety and effectiveness of the Internet.    
 + 
 +Their methods include breaking into fibre cables, hacking communications companies, and recruiting or blackmailing software engineers to break their companies systems.   
 + 
 +Campbell has exposed state snooping for nearly 40 years. In 1976, he revealed for the first time the existence of GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) in a piece for Time Out magazine called, The Eavesdroppers. This led to his arrest under the Official Secrets Act the following year, when the government attempted to imprison him for 30 years.  
 + 
 +After the trial, he joined the New Statesman magazine.  During his 15 years, he investigated Britain’s secret phone-tapping centres, corruption in GCHQ, secret war time plans to suspend civil liberties, and the top secret global surveillance programme, Echelon.  
 + 
 +Recently, he has produced reports based on the Snowden files for the Independent, including how the British Embassy in Berlin was being used as a covert listening station.
