A decade after Snowden exposed NSA’s mass surveillance in cooperation with the British GCHQ, only about 1 percent of the documents have been published, but three major facts can finally be revealed thanks to a doctoral thesis in applied cryptography by Jacob Appelbaum.

    He gave out information in multiple batches. He didn’t release it all at once.

        It’s been a while so I may not remember all the details correctly. Originally Snowden met glen Griswold in Hong Kong to give him the data he dumped. After that the news about spying on Americans was published, which again, if you didn’t have your head up your ass you knew was happening. A few months later more information was published about how the NSA and CIA were doing their jobs and spying on other countries. I don’t remember for sure if there was a second meeting with Snowden or if all that came from the first data hand over. Snowden took a job at the NSA, where they, SPY ON OTHER COUNTRIES. I fully support the release initial information being published, too many people were sucking the ra ra patriotism dick to realize their liberties were being trounced. That’s why us crazy lefty liberals were against the patriot act. We knew this was going to be the result, since we read the damn bill. It was spelled out in the bill.but everyone said it wouldn’t happen.
