Edward Snowden to Participate in Panel At SXSW
2014-03-05
Edward Snowden is making an appearance at next week's South By Southwest Interactive event. The festival announced today that the international man of mystery will join former Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald and American Civil Liberties Union's chief technologist Christopher Soghoian on a panel about technology and the culture of surveillance.

Since Snowden is smart enough to avoid Austin, Texas during the seemingly never-ending event, he will appear via video. An ACLU press release notes this is his "first conversation in front of an audience since his disclosures began making global headlines last year." The panel is scheduled for Monday, March 10.

#3  Hey, I live in Austin. Maybe I'll go to the interactive and give him a " you're number one" with both middle fingers held high.

#2  He'd be perfectly safe from arrest in San Antonio, or Los Angeles, or Chicago. The LAST thing the regime wants is a publicized Edward Snowden legal defense and the release of potentially damning inconvenient truth. The threat of assassination, yet another matter.

#1  Maybe after that they can scrape together a mob and go out and beat up any Ukranians they see. Then they can go find one of those Venezuelans that's hoarding toilet paper.
