The whole thing looked a bit strange to me. First the interview started with a basic presentation of who Edward Snowden is and what he did... at the Websummit.

The whole thing looked a bit strange to me. First the interview started with a basic presentation of who Edward Snowden is and what he did... at the Websummit. His talk brought nothing new if you follow him, maybe it brought attention to the issues to a wider public (it was all over the news in Portugal). On the other hand I feel his presence could serve to white wash the whole thing. How many companies represented there would be out of business if they embraced Snoden's beliefs?
