Snowden did the same and it pisses me off. But then again, wikileaks learned from the cablegate: releasing tons of information will lead to people disregarding most of it.
- secfirstmd 9y agoWhat's happening with the Snowden leaks? Havent heard anything in a long time.
- dylan604 9y agoDid Snowden do that, or did the press do that to string it along. My recollection (could be flawed) said that he turned over all of the data he had, and then the newsies teased it out to keep it around as long as possible. Whether that was to help sales or from preventing an overload, doesn't matter. To me it wasn't Snowden that did it that way.
- mjcl 9y agoIt was up to the journalists. According to the interview Glenn Greenwald did on "Pod Save the World", Snowden gave the journalists a giant dump of documents and they had to go through them to determine what was newsworthy. Snowden also insisted that the journalists give the NSA a chance to ask for documents to be redacted/kept secret and explain why. Again, according to the interview, Snowden explicitly did not want a wikileaks-style dump of everything, all at one or drip-drip-drip.
