@snowden<br/><br/>Thank you for writing Permanent Record π. π€ π€ <br/><br/>Permanent Record π and the Laura Poitras documentary, Citizen Four π¦, continue to be nightmare fuel, a helpful reminder to wean myself off of Big Tech β because private companies are covers for & obligated to the intelligence community. Corporate surveillance cooperating with government spying.<br/><br/>For better and worse, I no longer assume copy-paste and delete in any cloud surveillance is secure. <br/><br/>Please continue writing more books π & articles π. I especially enjoy reading your sly humor embedded within the real-life horror π³. Timely comedy relief.<br/><br/>Long live the Burger π King π! π

In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd9a76klpzg89tnr8m6h4uzvvakxcdsrjxljhn4xwk3ggp0nanwaqs25uye'>nevent1qβ¦5uye</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>βThe major impediment to justice was a major flaw in the law, a purposeful flaw created by the government. Someone in my position would not even be allowed to argue in court that the disclosures I made to journalists were civically beneficial. Even now, years after the fact, I would not be allowed to argue that the reporting based on my disclosures had caused Congress to change certain laws regarding surveillance, or convinced the courts to strike down a certain mass surveillance program as illegal, or influenced the attorney general and the president of the United States to admit that the debate over mass surveillance was a crucial one for the public to have, one that would ultimately strengthen the country. All these claims would be deemed not just irrelevant but inadmissible in the kind of proceedings that I would face were I to head home. The only thing my government would have to prove in court is that I disclosed classified information to journalists, a fact that is not in dispute. This is why anyone who says I have to come back to the States for trial is essentially saying I have to come back to the States for sentencing, and the sentence would, now as then, surely be a cruel one. The penalty for disclosing top secret documents, whether to foreign spies or domestic journalists, is up to ten years per document.β<br/><br/>β Permanent Record by Edward Snowden<br/><a href="https://a.co/flkJPH1">https://a.co/flkJPH1</a>
