  1. You’re not missing much, its a minute and thirty-eight seconds. Snowden just detaches the cameras and mics and tells you to use a bluetooth or wired headset instead.

    • Or put a piece of black electrical tape over both camera lenses and use a hands free mic. And not risk bricking the phone????

      • you truly think it is possible to brick a phone by disconnecting the mic and camera… well yes if your using a hammer to work with otherwise it is simple remove screws undo connector and reassemble job !

  2. the video is showing you how to unplug the cameras and mics from the phone 🙂
    sounded a little dumb at first coz anyone can use a screwdriver but the link also is a commercial to a future VICEonHBO show.

  3. you dont need proxy guys, thats slow and etc just download it with a youtube downloader its gonna work fine. but i guess this is not a full video.
