Edward Snowden at SXSW Conference: I Saw the Constitution Being Violated on “Massive Scale”
NSA leaker Edward Snowden accused the U.S. surveillance agency of “setting fire to the future of the Internet,” and called Monday for the tech community to be “the firefighters.”
The former NSA contractor received a warm reception while speaking at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival remotely via video from Russia where he’s lived since having been granted temporary asylum.
Snowden appeared in front of a green-screen that showed Article One of the U.S. Constitution.
