Smartphone users can do "very little" to stop security services getting "total control" over their devices, US whistleblower Edward Snowden has said.

Should he recieve a...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Gold_Medal

for services to the public for outstanding gallantry>?

or maybe one of these...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Saint_Catherine_the_Great_Martyr

Probably already had a free lunch from the KGB :p

imo he has done a public service, even if he is technically a traitor. Digital freedoms are such a contentious issue in these times that we live in!

Any thoughts?

He exposed criminality. If you oppose what he did, you support criminality.

The only metal that traitor deserves is lead at high velocity.

Only me smelling false flag? He's still very much working for CIA! Nothing heroic about him at all

[Laugher]

After another generation or two dies off I'm sure somebody will hand him the medal :p

But really, maybe in a term or two when things have settled down, too soon.

me too! hes just your common housewife's distraction from what Jullian Assange achieved. everything Edward Snowden released was either commonly well-known or threatening to be blown open. call it an NSA HR move, if you will... give away a few non-damning secrets to make people think that full-disclosure has been achieved.

speculation aside.. there is no realistic way that he could have managed to evade the CIA for as long as its been said that he has, as if those guys/gals give a flying turd about embassy laws.

I hate conservatives they are dumb. Truth.

SNOWDEN ENDANGERS THE USA GUNS DONT KILL PEOPLE

idiots.

This as well. CIA don't operate under the jurisdiction of any laws/oversight.

Snowden is still an intelligence asset for both the CIA and the KGB to make political plays and moves.

Snowden had 2 weeks during which time he met with several Chinese/Russian governments, soliciting his "treacherous" secrets...He was not rendered. Hes just an uncollared gun, similar to fast and furious. He was "walked" to make a play.

Snowden is a defender of liberty.

I think I could kick his ass. He looks like the kinda guy you can tell to stop hitting himself while you pummel his nerd face with his own hands

Could you kick Ed Snowden's ass?

Yaw I think I could bash him good. I am 50-60 lbs less than I was in my prime, but I am still powerful enough to probably beat his ass and smash his head off of stuff.

[Tradesonred]

He probably knows 10 ways to kill with a newspaper

Youd all get rekted

[Big_Japan]

also this is the image the BBC headlines with? Christ, we live in sick times. Organizations bearing the names of respectable news media dropping "articles" not much different from a myspace post, and on par with grandma's 90s chainmail and the forumquesting of the average mongo on this board.

i would hardly consider someone a traitor who exposed his government for infringing on the rights of its own citizens.

[Magikarp]

i'd def consider him childish

ultimately a traitor by definition. probably regrets it having experienced asylum in some truly fucked up countries. if not then sociopathic or dumb.com

would out him immediately to the proper authorities at first given chance. to make the world a better place for my country and also earn $$$

That's the guy, who won that GM event, and didn't get a prize, right?

Does Edward Snowden deserve a meal?

Yes! I have a knuckle sandwich right here for him!

[Ranndom]

He exposed criminality. If you oppose what he did, you support criminality.

Since obama just got tpp sealed i do believe, its now illegal to expose "political wrongdoing" via computer. Basically, if you actually prove some political person is a long time pedophile with emails or such, you become a felon and they basically become immune to the legal system

[iruinedyourday]

take your rmt conspiracy posts to project 2002 you fuckwit, ranndom.

[Aviann]

Snowden is more of a man than half the losers posting hate against him on these forums.

[AzzarTheGod]

snowden a boss his daddy a boss his mommy a boss so he was a boss.

So what you;re saying is...You're a traitor in waiting? Gotcha

[Ranndom]

Theres no conspiracy there. Wikileaks got ahold of the TPP document.
Just because you fail to research due to denial doesnt mean im crazy, it means you are.
Shit, theres even Supreme Court Justices going ON RECORD saying Internet freedom is dead in response to TPP
