Ο Edward Snowden gave his first major media interview informationof the US, and talked about NSA mass spying, terrorism and more.
Edward Snowden told NBC News that he believes he did the right thing by sharing the secret documents with the media, because the NSA's mass surveillance operations have reached a very dangerous point.
"The possibilities of gathering information are anarchic, uncontrollable and dangerous. NSA employees actually monitor communications over the Internet and can see your thoughts as you type. "The most shocking thing about the 'dirt' of targeting is the lack of respect for the public and the interventionism of surveillance," Snowden said.
The White House, of course, claims that espionage actions help to identify terrorists. Many have reported that Snowden effectively helped the enemy by revealing the NSA mass follow-up practices.
“I've never talked to anybody about it, but I was at Fort Meade on 11/XNUMX. I was right outside the NSA, so I remember the intensity of the day. I take terrorist threats seriously. I think it's hypocritical of her government to use a national trauma we've all suffered to justify programs that have never been proven to keep us safe," Snowden said.
Since last year when the first ones were published archives, Snowden has been ignored by the White House. Agency officials have dubbed him a low-level systems administrator, a young man who has no idea what he's reporting.
Trying to clear his name, Snowden said such publications are misleading. He says he is a technical expert and has worked as a spy for US Defense Intelligence, the NSA and the CIA, who lived and worked as a secret overseas.
