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.

    ...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.
