AMA on Reddit - Edward Snowden

[microphone head]

Re-read my quote, I never said that he won the award- I said that the documentary did. Hence "award winning documentary"

Pro-tip: If Edward Snowden was actually doing shit against the government he wouldn't have an Oscar-winning documentary.

Yes I've re-read it. He still doesn't have an Oscar-winning documentary. Citizenfour won the Oscar for best documentary, for its director Laura Poitras, editor Mathilde Bonnefoy and producer Dirk Wilutzky.

Semantics, the documentary is ABOUT him which is what I meant.

He didn't reveal anything that was positive or brought about any real change

How is this for "real change"?

China is no longer using high-profile US technology brands for state purchases, amid ongoing revelations about mass surveillance and hacking by the US government.

A new report confirmed key brands, including Cisco, Apple, Intel, and McAfee -- among others -- have been dropped from the Chinese government's list of authorized brands, a Reuters report said Wednesday.

Now time to set up competing tech companies in some offshore jurisdiction without a hostile government and profit off the fear.

Are you serious? Even if he was a double agent he still brought positive change. He opened not only a national dialogue, but an international dialogue. And that dialogue continues even today. There have been numerous bills that have been brought to be acted upon.

People now know this stuff is going on. Some people have changed their behavior. Some holding information back, and others opening up the pipeline. Hell even the little old lady down the street knows she is being spied on.


And last but not least he exposed the sham that is the Nobel Peace Prize when he was passed over. And yet a guy who has killed countless people has won it.

I could go on and on. But it seems like you are getting the weekly brainwashing memos talking about how the public doesnt really know the truth, and only us insiders can protect the nation. I get those memos as well bro. But I choose to think for myself.

Seriously dude if your life was on the line would you be thinking about promotion "AMA" talking to news people thinking they would not find you ? Remember he was an employee and not the person who actually built the NSA, meaning he only knows what he is told "Compartmentalization" knowing this what would you do ? Would you show yourself anywhere ? If Edword Snowden is as smart as he is made out to be his actions say otherwise IMAO even going online as your real self when the supposedly "NSA" are out to get you ? Silly humans.
