Sadly unable to understand half of what they were saying so I gave up after 3 minutes and found this version which seems to be at least a tiny bit better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVN13ad3UUk

Thanks for the better link!

"This conference is being live streamed, except for this session..." Why's that?

Probably because Snowden is a VIP who has people looking for him (US government, for example). A live stream would be a liability, kind of a breadcrumb trail, potentially exposing his current location.

Unless he's worried about a drone strike while in his Moscow apartment, I can't see there'd be a problem.

Yeah, it's not like CIA agents would kidnap him or something. Would never happen, right?

I mean.. if I were him I'd be doing my best to not let the CIA and NSA know where my Moscow apartment was located...
