Here
is another interview, that I haven't listened to yet, with Edward
Snowden
The Virtual Interview: Edward Snowden - The New Yorker Festival
The Virtual Interview: Edward Snowden - The New Yorker Festival
The
New Yorker Festival presents Edward Snowden in conversation with Jane
Mayer
Edward
Snowden and Kim Dotcom are forever tied together in exile for two
totally different actions against United States’ interests. And
over the weekend, the New Yorker did its part to further solidify
those bonds with the one-two punch of “virtual interviews” with
the two men.
On
Saturday, Jane Mayer remotely interviewed Snowden, who leaked
information about the federal government's spying strategy, as part
of the New Yorker Festival, which ended yesterday. Preceding the
interview, in which Snowden warned against using Google, Facebook,
and Dropbox out of privacy concerns, the New Yorker ran a clip of
CitizenFour, a documentary about Snowden by Laura Poitras.
Then,
the following day, New Yorker features director Daniel Zalewski
interviewed Dotcom, the founder of the now shuttered file-sharing
site Megaupload, which the FBI accused of costing intellectual
property owners $500 million in lost revenue.
Zalewski
personally chose the two men to participate in the interviews via
Google Hangouts because they are “cyber fugitives whose actions,
and defense of those actions” have fascinated him, he said in the
interview.
This
isn’t the first time Snowden and Dotcom were joined virtually. In
September, Snowden and Julian Assange, another techie in exile piped
in via satellite to support Dotcom’s political efforts. Later that
month, Dotcom failed to win a Parliamentary seat in New Zealand, the
site of his exile.
