That's called "Freedom" I believe.
Why do they hate our freedom so?

I see 5 results. Also, if you click on "sorted by date" rather than "sorted by relevance, a lot more appear.
Here is a screenshot for the blank results when the sources link is clicked: http://imgur.com/63dWPlw I don't know what is a tailored result and what is not on sites, specially Google lately. Add in other quirks and you have an unreliable system of communication.
Why are the results so dramatically different? Is Google's "search bubble" that bad?

#24In addition, the video has been taken down almost immediately every time it’s posted on YouTube. AFAIK, the German company that produced the interview didn't sell the international rights to the German broadcaster, which is also why the original video is geolocked to Germany. So I'd guess it's this company that's behind the YouTube takedowns.
It's even more absurd the international rights to the Interview are owned by CineCentrum a 100% subsidiary of Studio Hamburg which is completely owned by the NDR, a Member of the german ARD public broadcasting network.
The NDR says it only got the national rights to the video, while the international rights are still at CineCentrum. Originally the NDR didn't even see it necessary to publish the video undubbed to german. Only after some heavy online protests they put the original version online, yet still geofenced to Germany.

#25We need to keep our paranoia in check. That article is B.S. — wrong on all the verifiable points. And the rest is just random guesses.
I went and checked the German news (I'm American but lived in Germany 5 years, and am still fluent) and it turns out that ARD screwed the pooch on this one: the two most respected media outlets in Germany are pissed off and have written about ARD's shoddy editing and refusal to provide easy access to the full interview. Here are my translations for the titles:
Der Spiegel "ARD relegates Snowden interview to the middle of the night" http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/ard-versendet-sno...
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung ("FAZ") "The Snowden interview is going around the world ... or not? http://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/medien/edward-snowden-...
Now, the Spiegel linked to ARD's mini-site for Snowden stuff, which claims to have the full video and full transcript in English: http://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/netzwelt/snowdeninterview101.html
And then this article all about how ARD at first would only put the interview out with the German dubbing. Then, under pressure, ARD released it with the original sound. But, wouldn't make it accessible overseas...

#26I believe this is due to stupid copyright issues, not anything particular sinister by the US media. I have approximately zero problem pirating it, so http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f93_1390833151

I found these videos that can be viewed in Germany:
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GlYh58cxKY (Interview with German translation)
2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x38jkFlPeg (Interview in English)
Do they work for anybody else?
Re: US Media Blacks Out Snowden Interview
#28Well that is interesting. I typically jump to Google News in response to such accusations to show a thread of stories on the subject 'being blacked out.' In this case.. Shows some search results: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&authuser=0... Clicking on the '73 news sources' link results in blank thread: https://news.google.com/news?ncl=dePJixL6H8f9VzMIt-2rs1GZLI9...
"Google News" doesn't exist as a universal source.
It is so heavily censored, sorry, "personalized" and "localized" that you will get entirely different results depending on who and where you are.
Re: US Media Blacks Out Snowden Interview
#29I highly recommend watching this interview, in which Snowden clearly explains his motives for doing what he did and describes the scope of the data collection carried out by the NSA and its allied foreign intelligence agencies. While I've followed this story quite extensively, this is first time I've actually watched an interview with Snowden, and I was very impressed with his intelligence, thoughtfulness, depth of knowledge and eloquence. (The interview is 30 minutes long.)

Nope - doesn't work for me in the U.S.
Can you download it and torrent it?
