Edward Joseph Snowden (/ˈsnoʊdən/; born June 21, 1983) is an American former computer intelligence consultant who leaked highly classified information from the National Security Agency (NSA) in 2013, when he was an employee and subcontractor. His illegal disclosures revealed numerous global surveillance programs, many run by the NSA and the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance with the cooperation of telecommunication companies and European governments, and prompted a cultural discussion about national security and individual privacy.
Frontline, May 2014. After 9/11, the government established massive domestic surveillance, including collecting and analyzing the entire internet fire hose of information. Starting with the hack of Glen Greenwald's email account, this is how The Guardian established contact with Ed Snowden. The biggest whistle blower in the history of the United States, the secrets of the NSA were turned over for everyone to see.
Everything started with Ed Snowden establishing contact in Hong Kong with reporters from The Guardian.
Before The Guardian could turn over these documents, they had to scrub them for sensitive information that they shouldn't disclose. The problem was where do they draw those lines? What's acceptable and what's sensitive?
