Edward Snowden on spyware: 'This is an industry that should not exist'

Fun Fact About Me:

#EdSnowden was nearly causal to my death ten years ago.

Apropos of nothing, it appears Ed is sucking up to Musk as much as he’s beholden to Putin.

He’s made his krevati. Time for him to sleep in it.

If it’s ‘#spying’ meets ‘#journalism’ I found these a fascinating and compelling read…
by #GlenGreenwald and #EdSnowden
I do have a copy of #AllThePresidentsMen but it’s still a little further down the ‘bedside’ queue…

Two of the most interesting quotes:

"The Director [of a client of Twitter] said 'We should know when users leave their house, their commute to work, and everywhere they go throughout the day. Anything less is useless. We get a lot more than that from other tech companies [other than Twitter].'"

- as per #EdSnowden 's leaks

"And, for the any employees still at Twitter, don’t underestimate the power of a pocket veto."

- as in #ResistanceIsFertile

Finished #permanent #record by #edsnowden last night. I think any citizen of a (nominally) democratic country should read it, regardless of your opinion of Edward Snowden.

The intersection of #privacy #surveillance #government and #business is critically important to understand, especially if you don't want to be a walking, talking product.

#EdSnowden 's pandemic comments match very nicely with the #Belarus analysis by Pramen:

This analysis looks good too - more credible than most mainstream media analyses
