Had to Review this episode, as a long time FAN of John Oliver, this is A VERY IMPORTANT EPISODE that affects EVERY AMERICAN, young, old, democrat, republican, independent. YOU NEED TO SEE THIS and KNOW that this is NO BS!!! If you don't, YOU WILL BE SORRY!!!

I've known for a long time and worried when these data collection online sites, started to broadcast my addresses, my unlisted phone number (when we still had landlines in the early 2000's and other personal information, that I NEVER POSTED online) I paid for an UNLISTED number all my adult life and even had my address protected by the Courts in the early 90's and I WAS TERRIFIED for WOMEN, especially and wondered how many people would die, because of these intrusive and what seemed to me, Illegally collected and easily shared information. But MY GOD, I had No idea, how much more WORSE it actually is. And this is coming from someone who was Collateral Damage for life by the Experian Hack years ago, and they waited over 6 months to tell us that HALF of ALL American's personal information had been Handed out like Halloween Candy to Every Criminal in the Universe. That not only included adults, like me, but your children, babies. Anyone with a social security number and Experian basically did NOthing to protect us or help us and Now we are left looking over our shoulders for the REST OF OUR LIVES. And People, We Can't opt out of this Creepy and Disturbing and often life and finance destroying money game that these companies play with our information and our lives.

And I Gotta SAY BRAVO JOHN!! You ROCK and I don't give a Cr@p if you were born in England, You should be the NEXT PRESIDENT!! All his shows, have helped people to learn and protect themselves from dangers some of us had and still have NO CLUE is going on. And this NEW LEVEL information stealing GAME NEEDS to STOP!!!

I'm not gonna give anymore spoilers, but I want him to divulge that envelopes contents, So Congress, who has done NOTHING to protect it's citizens from having our 4th amendment rights, RAPED, every minute of every day by data mining companies, will maybe NOW have a bit of a Fire lit under their BUms and start making LAWS that protect All of US. And I mean ALL OF US. EVERY Bloody Citizen of these United STATES!!! Start writing and calling your Congressmen and women, and participate in protecting yourselves, your children and your grandchildren, Because the clock is ticking and you don't wanna wait til your life is destroyed or worse to REALISE that We ALL NEED to Stop fighting about stupid things like Mr. Potato Head and Dr. Seuss and Start Protecting Ourselves/Each other in this virtual world we live in, that we can NO LONGER OPT OUT OF!!!

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! WAKE the F*CK UP NOW!!!! :O.

The one where John Oliver becomes another political pundit

Warning: Spoilers
Nope, John Oliver, not this time.

I have been watching your show since day 1. Even when you hosted the Daily Show when Jon Stewart was away making a movie. Remember that month?

However, in this episode, you dropped the ball. I mean, I ignored many time you have dropped the ball, but this I cannot, and I do not mean the data broker part. That part is great.

The opening part, the lack of self-awareness stunned me! I was disappointed. You are a double citizen, you should have and reflect a unique point of view into international relations, but instead you preferred to ignore your core principles.

I cannot get into any details because whenever I quote sentences from a show that I criticize, IMDB deletes my comment as soon as possible.
