Edwards noted will be one of the speakers at South by Southwest in Austin
Texas
and other people that will be speaking include Glenn Greenwald Angelina signs
now %uh there has been a little bit a controversy about this because %uh some
feel that hey you know what
Edwards noting is a fugitive he's wanted for espionage in the United States
and of course Russia granted him temporary asylum after he leaked NSA
data
however I think that this is probably the most interesting as speaker to
ever be at South by Southwest I really wanna go and
he's gonna focus of course on government spying
the conversation be focused on the impact to the NSA spying efforts
on the technology community and the ways in which technology can help to protect
us
from mass surveillance and also snow on wants to talk
to a tech focused audience about the importance of building the next
generation a palm-lined tools that protect user privacy
sony has great things to say about South by Southwest they have a ton of great
speakers
a every year but I can imagine a speaker more relevant to the tech community in
snow
so it's very large who in fact there really is no controversy it's only
controversy created by
the coverage that I saw on CNN the tell the piece was
fugitive and whistleblower Edward so to speak from Russia
at South by Southwest fugitive from whatever
like the kill some what happened I like it's such a as the first word in the
title and then as you read this story
the this a jewel in deciding when we will also be speaking also through Skype
they see CNN says the sides agree what helps tone disseminates stolen NSA
documents
thank you by who wrote this CNN
corporate though or the United States justice department state department
whatever it might be
so look I think I can imagine is anybody at South by Southwest like
he should be allowed to speak with me know what a provocative conversation
real Colbert absolutely love to hear that I
would like to hear speakers that I disagree with just because it's Paul
provoking you should be open to that kind of discussion
I think the only people who think it's controversial
are the government and government enablers in the media
a I think any regular person who think at that make sense
so tech conference this guy knows all about pack and he's
the guy who spoke in out on this issue created news on this issue
more literally more than anyone else in the world
hits the ball breaker but on other he is a dangerous fugitive
was stolen documents that showed the
American people what the american government was up to how dare he in a
democracy
