Edward Snowden - Permanent Record

In 2013, twenty-nine-year-old Edward Snowden shocked the world when he broke with the American intelligence establishment and revealed that the United States government was secretly pursuing the means to collect every single phone call, text message, and email. The result would be an unprecedented system of mass surveillance with the ability to pry into the private lives of every person on earth. Six years later, Snowden reveals for the very first time how he helped to build this system and why he was moved to expose it.

Since I Met Edward Snowden, I’ve Never Stopped Watching My Back

After receiving a trove of documents from the whistleblower, I found myself under surveillance and investigation by the U.S. government.
Story by Barton Gellman

Six months earlier, in June 2013, when the Snowden story was less than two weeks old, I went on Face the Nation to talk about it. Afterward, I wiped off the television makeup, unclipped my lapel microphone, and emerged into a pleasant pre-summer Sunday outside the CBS News studio in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. In the back of a cab I pulled out my iPad. The display powered on, then dissolved into static and guttered out. Huh? A few seconds passed and the screen lit up again. White text began to scroll across an all-black background. The text moved too fast for me to take it all in, but I caught a few fragments.

# root:xnu …

# dumping kernel …

# patching file system …

Wait, what? It looked like a Unix terminal window. The word root and the hashtag symbol meant that somehow the device had been placed in super-user mode. Someone had taken control of my iPad, blasting through Apple’s security restrictions and acquiring the power to rewrite anything that the operating system could touch.

Trump: ‘A lot of people’ think Edward Snowden ‘not being treated fairly’

President Trump polled his aides on Thursday about whether he should let anti-surveillance whistleblower and leaker Edward Snowden return to the US from Russia without going to prison, saying he was open to it.

“There are a lot of people that think that he is not being treated fairly. I mean, I hear that,” Trump told The Post in an exclusive interview in the Oval Office, before soliciting views from his staff.

Trump commented on Snowden for the first time as president after accusing former President Barack Obama of spying on his 2016 campaign.

“When you look at [former FBI Director James] Comey and [former FBI Deputy Director Andrew] McCabe, and [former CIA Director John] Brennan — and, excuse me, the man that sat at this desk, President Obama, got caught spying on my campaign with Biden. Biden and Obama, and they got caught spying on the campaign,” Trump said.

Florida congressman wants Edward Snowden pardoned

TALLAHASSE, Fla. (CBS12) — U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz (FL-1) wants Edward Snowden, the National Security Agency whistleblower, pardoned.

Gaetz simply issued a one-word tweet with Snowden tagged on Thursday.

Snowden, 31, is a former CIA subcontractor who exposed the NSA's mass surveillance programs and capabilities in 2013. Snowden was charged with violating the Espionage Act and could face up to 30 years in prison. Because the US is pursuing his extradition, Snowden is now exiled in Russia.

On Wednesday, Snowden re-tweeted the ACLU, which reported that a U.S. federal court ruled that the NSA's bulk collection of Americans' phone records was illegal, saying "seven years ago, as the news declared I was being charged as a criminal for speaking the truth, I never imagined that I would live to see our courts condemn the NSA's activities as unlawful."

Former NSA chief Keith Alexander has joined Amazon’s board of directors

Alexander was the public face of US surveillance during the Snowden leaks

Keith Alexander is joining Amazon’s board of directors, the company revealed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing today. (Alexander has also been added to the company board’s official site.) A former director of the National Security Agency and the first commander of the US Cyber Command, Alexander served as the public face of US data collection during the Edward Snowden leaks, but he retired from public service in 2013.

Alexander is a controversial figure for many in the tech community because of his involvement in the widespread surveillance systems revealed by the Snowden leaks. Those systems included PRISM, a broad data collection program that compromised systems at Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Facebook — but not Amazon.

Alexander was broadly critical of reporting on the Snowden leaks, even suggesting that reporters should be legally restrained from covering the documents. “I think it’s wrong that that newspaper reporters have all these documents, the 50,000-whatever they have and are selling them and giving them out as if these — you know it just doesn’t make sense,” Alexander in an interview in 2013. “We ought to come up with a way of stopping it. I don’t know how to do that. That’s more of the courts and the policymakers but, from my perspective, it’s wrong to allow this to go on.”

Alexander’s board spot will also give Amazon new expertise in defense contracting, an area of particular focus for the company in recent years. Amazon was a leading candidate for a recent $10 billion cloud computing contract with the Pentagon, but it ultimately lost out to Microsoft. The company is currently engaged in a lawsuit against the federal government in connection with the contract, alleging that President Donald Trump’s personal statements against Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos biased the process against Amazon.

Julian Assange pleaded with Edward Snowden to hide 'where CIA doesn't have influence'

JULIAN ASSANGE delivered a desperate plea to Edward Snowden, a US whistleblower, to seek asylum in Russia as opposed to Latin America, as it was a nation "where the CIA doesn't have influence".

Mr Assange, who founded the news leaks website WikiLeaks, was told today he cannot be extradited to the US during a hearing at the Old Bailey. Judge Vanessa Baraitser said extradition had been refused amid fears Mr Assange could take his own life, a decision the US government said it would appeal. The 49-year-old was indicted by prosecutors in the US over 17 espionage charges, and one allegation of computer misuse, over WikiLeaks' decision to publish leaked military and diplomatic documents ten years ago.

Whistleblower Mr Snowden urged US President Donald Trump to "free Julian Assange", and that he "alone can save his life".

It had previously been reported Mr Trump was "considering" pardoning Mr Assange, but it appears the US will continue its battle to ensure the website editor goes in front of a court in America.

The European Court of Human Rights' judgment on the 10 Human Rights Organisations case is due on 25 May 2021 (@ECHR_CEDH).

We sat down with @Snowden last year to discuss what this case means for surveillance not only in the UK, but around the world. Watch here to get up to date!

This case was made possible because of Ed Snowden’s disclosures in 2013, and through the joint effort of 9 other human rights organisations.
And more: in 2017 our case was joined with those of @BigBrotherWatch and @TBIJ - there is many of us waiting!

Edward Snowden receives Russian passport

The American whistleblower has now become a full-fledged Russian citizen, his lawyer says.

According to Snowden’s lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, who spoke with Interfax on Friday, the whistleblower has also taken an oath mandated by law in order to become a full-fledged Russian citizen.

Kucherena noted that since #Snowden now holds a Russian passport, he cannot be legally extradited to any foreign state seeking charges against him. In the US, where he stands accused of espionage and theft of state property.

When Snowden was granted citizenship in late September, concerns were raised that the whistleblower could now be drafted into the Russian army and sent to fight in Ukraine. His lawyer, however, has explained that although Snowden is now technically a Russian citizen of military age, he is not eligible for mobilization because he has never served in the Russian army.

In 2017, Snowden married American acrobat and blogger Lindsay Mills in Moscow. The two have since had a child, who has automatically received Russian citizenship. Kucherena says that Mills is now also gathering documents to apply for a Russian passport.
