Interview With Technology Expert

In a recent issue, we published an article about Edward Snowden, but due to a word limit, we could not publish the interview associated with it. The interview is summarized best in the following quote: “Snowden and the U.S.’s reaction were both rational and yet extreme. Snowden’s actions could have been conducted more beneficially and yet were necessary as the public has a right to know. It is important to remember how much information we share in the digital age and how valuable it is to intelligence agencies and hackers alike. I believe Snowden should come back for a fair trial. However, I am unsure if he will as the Espionage Act only allows the jury to decide if it was legal and not if it was the right course of action."-H (Initial used to protect identity)
