"Ten years ago, Edward Snowden warned us about state spying. Spare a thought for him, and worry about the future
(Alan Rusbridger - Guardian)"Even now the British government, in hastily revising the laws around official secrecy, is trying to ensure that any editor who behaved as I did 10 years ago would face up to 14 years in prison. Lamentably, the Labour party is not joining a cross-party coalition that would allow whistleblowers and journalists the right to mount a public interest defence.
So do not hold your breath for future Edward Snowdens in this country. The British media is, by and large, not known for holding its security services rigorously to account, if at all."

@ariadne some of us thought even back then that all that surveillance and damage of privacy will be the downfall for democracy. Today we can watch it happening in the USA.
