547: "Special" Cargo
Edward Snowden, Whistleblower Speech and Media Shield Laws
A letter attributed to Edward Snowden was read at the Berlin awards ceremony, praising the public and newspapers for defending the right to privacy. The text, which some suggest was ghostwritten by Glenn Greenwald, addresses the "deterrent trap" of punishing messengers and the need for legal protections for journalists. Greenwald and Laura Poitras are scheduled to receive the EFF Pioneer Awards in San Francisco on September 19th.
