There are four years, a frail man of mass spectacles hugged the flag of the United States almost as if that fact stars and stripes hiding a newborn. In this cover photo, one of the best ever of “Wired” magazine, the exiled Edward Snowden tried to show his compatriots who had been his love for the “Land of Liberty” which had imbued to reveal how the Agency US National security stepped on the privacy of citizens of that country (and all the others that were of interest … or not)
The interview made by” Wired “in Moscow (it was in Russia Snowden found shelter and where yet lives) is available in full on the magazine’s website, HERE). Contrary to what we could all think the situation Snowden has not changed much in the past four years. The legal issue remains caught in a tangle of issues, with lawyers Snowden to press the Obama administration to the decree of a presidential pardon.
However, not Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump have great sympathy for Snowden. The candidate of the Democratic Party want to see the former NSA employee to be tried in the US, as you can read HERE, and Donald Trump in his stupid way, calls the death penalty for Snowden (as shown THIS VIDEO)
While the law and the men who do decide what to do with Snowden, he is gaining global relevance from Russia. Participate in conferences, give interviews and does so, even in person. At the controls of a remote-controlled robot within the former Iron Curtain, he can move within the United States and with a tablet to show her face in real time, Snowden to get the sympathy of those who have a close encounter with . the device (you can see HERE)
the technology works almost like a Schengen agreement and was so this weekend Snowden attended the Comic-Con International – a trade fair where it mixes comics with games, movies, music …
the happening was to promote “Snowden,” the film written and directed by Oliver Stone where Snowden appears few minutes – the rest of the time is the actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt that fits protagonism. The film arrives in September and is a brief biography of Edward Snowden that dissects the moments before and after the disclosure of the documents, how can see HERE IN TRAILER
Snowden is not a Hollywood star, but a hit at Comic-Con . As I had done when the US government, creating a huge controversy over the right to privacy, forced Apple to give access to the iPhone of a terrorist. At the time, CNN hosted a debate on encryption with the participation of Snowden (see HERE).
Yes, Snowden is in exile in Russia, but “comes” in the United States with great regularity. . So that last week, on Thursday presented a new device that will make users know if their smartphones are being spied
The device, resembling a cover for iPhone, has a small screen that shows a message when the phone is emitting radio. These signs reveal a lot. that’s how it is possible to know, for example, where someone by location phone or to a remote order so that the microphone is turned on and give access to the conversations that are taking place near the terminal.
When “Wired” interviewed Snowden in Russia, Litvinenko asked those present to withdraw the batteries of phones. in another time, with different reporters, asked them to put the phones in the refrigerator freezer. Paranoia? Far from it. If there is someone who knows what you can do remotely to a smartphone is Snowden.
About the prototype shown last week at an event held at MIT Labs, Snowden, by video conference, stressed the importance of such a device to help, for example, journalists in conflict zones. For this project, the former NSA employee, enlisted the help of hacker Andrew “Bunnie” Huang – who is currently suing the United States by the impediments that exist to retro engineering devices acquired legally (on this subject, read HERE .
the two developed this protective cover and already have spoken with several Chinese manufacturers for large-scale production of this accessory. that is, the technology may soon be available to manufacturers, so that integrate the phones .
Snowden may have been the most wanted man in America. But that was long ago. the presidential elections in that country, the violence in the world with ISIS, the Crimea, Syria … to Turkey. violence took Edward Snowden of American political agenda.
That gave him room to attend conferences, give interviews, make a little leg in the movies, and even become an entrepreneur. Will return one day to the United States? probably. Improbable is to escape the trial and imprisonment. The world can forgive Snowden, but the NSA never will.
