    Edward Snowden‏Verified account @Snowden 7 May 2016

    The #PanamaPapers led to raids, resignations, and regulations. Yet the source enjoys no legal protection. A whistle poisoned by law.

        .@Snowden Yet YOUR actions led to: more laws promoting surveillance, more fear among people, less free speech, international friction, etc.

        @KristianHarstad Most of us wouldn't know much at all about gov't surveillance w/o @Snowden. At least we're not sitting ducks.

        @montareeves @Snowden It was actually known long ago that the surveillance was occurring - it just wasn't widely believed.

        @KristianHarstad To those informed I'd say. I imagine some people still don't know who @Snowden is, yet alone understand the issue fully.

        @montareeves @Snowden Yes. The problem is that the popular media narrative of Snowden as hero is wrong. He is using outrage as cover

        @KristianHarstad Is the outrage justified though?

        @montareeves No. Even Snowden states clearly that surveillance is necessary and even that nobody is against it

        @KristianHarstad I imagine it to be a necessity for military reasons but at what length does it end? Inside my home? Or just thru my phone?
