In retrospect, I really should have built some readings on Edward Snowden into the course, but since I didn’t, I encourage you to read this short Twitter thread by Snowden (and however many of the links he gives that you wish to explore). Particularly, all of the security measures he says he would take if he owned/used a smartphone.

Obviously, as a high-profile figure in danger from the U.S. government, Snowden has many more privacy risks than most people. However, it’s good to know just how much data we’re constantly broadcasting to the world.

The first tweet is just a link to his memoir, so click through to see the rest.

The government of the United States has just announced a lawsuit over my memoir, which was just released today worldwide. This is the book the government does not want you to read: (link corrected) https://t.co/JS1AJ6QlXg
