NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden reveals himself

The former NSA employee – a man in military service in the US for a decade – has revealed himself in an interview with The Guardian. “The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything. With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting. If I wanted to see your emails or your wife’s phone, all I have to do is use intercepts. I can get your emails, passwords, phone records, credit cards. I don’t want to live in a society that does these sort of things […] I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am willing to support or live under.” He did it out of a sense of civic duty. He’s in Hong Kong, and doesn’t expect to ever see home again. Poor guy.
