Edward Snowden Is Tired of Being Bombarded By Suitors (mirror.co.uk)

Posted by timothy on from the reality-tv-drools-in-the-background dept.

cold fjord writes: The Mirror reports that Edward Snowden is experiencing some unexpected fallout from the notoriety he received from his activism for government transparency. It seems he has become something of a sex symbol and his female fans are sending him graphic nude pictures of themselves. He has found it necessary to dissuade them by reminding everyone that the FBI has a warrant for him (and probably monitor his communications so they will see the pics) and that he already has a girlfriend. No word yet on if this is having any effect.

    Snowden is being guarded by the Russian security services, the successors of the KGB. Even if you assume that Snowden is an American patriot the simple fact is that he has bequeathed the intelligence agencies of the world a priceless cache of the innermost American government intelligence agency secrets.

    Snowden gave up possession of the laptop with all the NSA data before flying to Russia. He's not stupid.

    ...he told you that "you shouldn't change your behaviour" in response to government surveillance. Clearly, that message has gotten across. :)

    The US government would never do such an underhanded thing. Just ask Julian Assange.
