Edward Snowden is live on Reddit, ask him anything!

Edward Snowden, whistleblower extraordinaire is live on Reddit, right now, this minute. Head over to the AMA and ask him anything you want. Just ignore the FBI warning and don’t forget to hit Ctrl + A to start reading (you’ll thank us later). We’re not a 100 percent sure ourselves if Snowden really is live on Reddit, it is April Fool’s Day after all. Either way, it sure does sound like him and the proof is compelling enough. We’re all aware of Edward Snowden and his work, but just in case, a quick revision might be in order. Edward Snowden, the 32 year old NSA system administrator revealed almost all of the NSA’s dirty little secrets in 2013. Leaving his comfortable life in Hawaii, he flew to Hong Kong, later settling in Russia, and in June that year revealed thousands (perhaps millions, the exact figure is still not known) of classified NSA documents to journalists from The Guardian and The Washington Post. These leaked documents revealed government snooping operations on scales that boggled the mind, at levels that would put George Orwell’s 1984 to shame. For his revelations, Snowden has been called a traitor, a dissident, anti-national, a patriot and a hero. He’s many things to many people, it’s just a matter of perspective, but undeniably, he’s shown the world the power of indiscriminate surveillance and the reckless, unthinking abandon with which that data can be used.
