I remember reading about that a while back, think we need a global ban on nukes. If countries want to fight/invade each other, they should only use hand-to-hand combat, kinda like a royal rumble but without the steroids and cheesy music.
I don't know where they got that idea from, he's succeeded in making everyone more uncomfortable using modern communications infrastructure, and the solutions are not yet convincing enough to get back the privacy everyone thought they had.
Snowden made everyone's communications seem more important than they actually are, and his methods were entirely non-violent. The dubious honor of constant surveillance is not only awarded to technical specialists, public figures, and the wealthy, but also to Blogger Bob and Opinionated Alice. You just need to type or say any of these words in any context:Quote

Yes, saying "Bubba the Love Sponge" will get your post flagged for domestic terrorism.
That's quite a list (I don't even know what over half of it means. How does saying "football" qualify? Some kind of domestic militia codeword!?)
From looking at the developments in places like Greece, Brazil and Ukraine in the last 12 months, I wouldn't be surprised if "rioters" and "extremist political activists" becomes the reason given that everyone's communications get monitored, whether they use "listed" words/expressions or not.
Which is another way of saying that we're likely under those conditions already. Would anyone actually believe it if the NSA annnounced: "all domestic surveillance of all types is now switched off, it was morally wrong after all. Sorry about that everybody"?
That shit is so rigged, wouldn't even surprise me if he won. Whistleblowing seems to be the latest years hot topic.
The vimeo link wouldnt work for me, but here is a link that is currently working:

This, as well as his original interview with Glenn Greenwald should be seen by everyone, in America and elsewhere.

Interview from a day or 2 ago with Snowden (banned by youtube, at least the link I found):

Was it really banned? Why would they ban it?

It says the uploader has made this unavailable in your country; yet a random look at other vids from ARD shows nothing similar. I see no reason that the German station would ban it, given that the interview is in English.

They should take Obama's peace prize and give it to snowden

adjust basically every post in here to end with "...according to Glenn Greenwald and The Guardian"
Why didn't The Guardian, or Glenn Greenwald, or Laura Poitras show any interest in publishing the previous NSA whistleblowers? Who said everything Snowden said and more, and who still live in the US, some of whom have never been charged with any offense?
I'm not saying there's a definitive answer to these questions, but there's more to it than what's in any news reporting, that should be pretty obvious.

I can tell lots of "newbies" are pro NSA on a bitcoin forum... Strange.
First of all not US secrets are out yet. Nothing about Bigfoot, Area 51, who shot JFK or what company did the demolition job by installing multiple tons of TNT near people's office for days before 9/11...

<< Two Norwegian politicians say NSA whistleblower's actions have led to a 'more stable and peaceful world order'. >>
How, by leaking information that can get overseas spies arrested and possibly executed? What a joke...http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/29/edward-snowden-nominated-nobel-peace-prize

Isn't spying against the laws of the country they're spying on? And did he actually leak info on spies? Pretty sure he didn't.
Really? Why?
Espionage is the important part of the politics and info on that is really will be harming pretty much any govs
