How did Snowden work with Wikileaks? (That's an honest question.)
As I understood matters, he avoided leaking to WL specifically because he didn't trust their approach to disclosure. He's had some vague contact Wikileaks since, but those connections (e.g. introduced on telepresence by Appelbaum) didn't seem to involve any kind of actual collaboration.
Is there some kind of deeper collaboration between the two? If not, why would Snowden and Greenwald have any more reason to feel connected to Wikileaks than any other high-profile privacy advocate?
- wyldfire 9y agoI agree that I think the collaboration was limited, but from what I read they helped broker his planned escape to Latin America and later settling in Russia.
