The man who was at the center of the disclosure of the NSA spying scandal is hiding in Russia to escape American justice. “And now, you hear me?” Writes on Twitter.
“And now, You hear me? ” Edward Snowden first published on Twitter on Tuesday, under the user name “Snowden.”
An hour after you have created your account, Snowden it was followed by more than 100 thousand people but was still only one account: the official account of the NSA. In its description on Twitter, Edward Snowden writes: “.. I used to work for the government now work for people”
The idea of that Snowden should have a Twitter account began to arise in a recent interview with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, the radio StarTalk Radio, who suggested him to use the username “Snowden” and that the two were “Twitter friends” . “Sounds good,” said the activist.
Less than an hour after creating the account, Edward Snowden alluded to this conversation with a tweet addressed to Neil deGrasse Tyson. “Now we have water on Mars! You think they check passports at the border? I’m asking for a friend,” he wrote. Neil deGrasse Tyson responded minutes later: “Ed Snowden, if you visit Mars, I am sure that the forms of life that there may be will give the welcome with a glass of this water – and a tourist visa”
<. p> According to Snowden’s lawyer, quoted by the intercept, the user name “Snowden” already belonged to someone else, but it was not used for years. Twitter was contacted by activist lawyers and the name was free to use. The account will be controlled by itself.
Edward Snowden had the lead role in the revelation that the US agency NSA spied on the communications of its own citizens and people and leaders around the world. Currently, it is in Russia, where he was granted asylum because it is wanted by the US courts for espionage.
