While Edward Snowden has specifically requested that the story should not be about him, his story is indeed fascinating, and the actions that the United States is taking against him is very revealing in itself of the attitudes of the US administration.
This is a subreddit for discussions about Edward Snowden, the NSA, Prism and all related issues.

What should we be doing in response to the current administration?
Our government is clearly compromised and so is the media and almost every other branch of government. What can/should we do?

Mark Warner attacks Snowden, Gabbard basically says nothing, at DNI nomination hearing
I don't really know what Mark Warner thought he was going to prove by linking Gabbard to Snowden. Certainly not every American thinks Snowden was in the wrong. Of course Gabbard remained spineless and didn't offer a simple yes or no to say if Snowden was brave or not. Just a really stupid exchange altogether.

Where is Snowden
He has not posted since 11/24 and I’m wondering why no one is pushing for his pardon. Anyone heard the latest from him?
17:44 UTC
So, is there any group already lobbying for Snowden’d blanket pardon? If Hunter gets one, why not Edward?
Yes, a president can pardon someone for crimes they haven’t actually been charged with The Constitution gives the president the power to pardon someone before they are indicted, convicted or sentenced for a federal offense against the United States. https://www.9news.com/mobile/article/news/verify/government-verify/can-president-pardon-someone-crime-they-have-not-been-charged-with-fact-check/536-8cf9810d-1b64-40fe-add9-32a2d2a6786e
Edit: Write the pres if you want Snowden pardoned https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

New Song Based on Snowden's "Permanent Record" Memoir
Hi guys -
Checked with mods first and they were happy for me to share.
I'm GG, an independent musician who was fascinated and inspired by reading Snowden's memoir, so I wrote a song about it called "Permanent Record". Think some of you might like it and it's themes, it's about the realities of a world saturated with technology and the ever-evolving landscape of surveillance.

If I said rented... My holiday home
Say if he could and I did rent my holiday home either in France Or Ireland could he use it? Plus if he did and he shouldn't would I get in trouble for it? (Tried to keep that super PC) Hello NSI LoL

Home for The Snowden Statue?
Hello there, I'm part of the team that cemented a bust of Edward Snowden atop a Revolutionary War memorial in Brooklyn back in 2015.
After it was returned to us by NYPD, it found a temporary home at the prestigious Brooklyn Museum. Since then, it's been displayed at many other esteemed galleries and shows but is now in storage.
We're looking to find a more permanent home for Ed so it may continue to educate and inspire others.
You can see more about the piece here.
If anyone has any leads, please message me. Thanks!
