If only there were some website where you could type these questions in and find out...

He has a job doing tech-support which I assume pays for some of his expenses, he also has people who have donated money to his support.



Idk how I would respond if I called tech support and was connected to Edward Snowden.


I know exactly how I'd respond: I would thank him for doing a great service to humanity, and then I'd ask him whatever tech support question I had. And I'd be thinking to myself that I won the tech support lottery, because I'm pretty sure Ed Snowden knows more about tech than your average support person.


I mean sure, but just the very concept is kind of strange and somewhat entertaining (and also sad).


I'm sure he also gets paid quite a lot for the speaking gigs he's done.


Who is the target audience that has thousands of dollars to pay to have Snowden come speak at an event?


He spoke at SXSW in Austin this year.


The security industry?


No. The people in the industry already know all of the things Snowden is willing to disclose.


TED ?
