- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
He was working in Hawaii, and went to Hong Kong to meet the Glenn Greenwald
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
He was in Hong Kong, selected because it wouldn’t raise any flags and he could hide.
Then he got help from some lawyers in WikiLeaks that tried to get him asylum in Latin America, so he had to get a layover in a country without an extradition treaty. That flight took him to Russia, but the US prevented him from catching the next plane because they canceled his passport and trapped him there.

But those people all use https now, because the people who control the services they use redirected 80 to 443 for the sites they run.
It doesn’t matter if people are ignorant or apathetic, because they all got a security upgrade by doing nothing. Thanks to Snowden.

Online dragnet surveillance does happen. And, thanks to the Snowden revelations, we all now have tools to protect ourselves from it.
Using https on Facebook and using Signal for daily messages to your Mom are practically accepted as normal part of our lives.
