Ralph Fiennes interview: Logging Google searches like ‘getting inside people’s brains’
The Guardian’s Alan Rusbridger interviews Ralph Fiennes
Actor and director Ralph Fiennes has described as “profoundly frightening” the idea that internet companies such as Google and Facebook hold data on their users that can be used by governments.
Talking at Cannes Lions directly after a session featuring the COO of Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg, the Oscar-winning star of Schindler’s List and The English Patient, said: “The idea that every photo you take and every email you send is logged is profoundly frightening – it is Big Brother.”
Fiennes was interviewed on stage by Alan Rusbridger, the editor-in-chief of The Guardian, the newspaper that broke the story about NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
