It was live when I posted it. Ended about 15 minutes ago. Summary from memory:
- The interviewers asked questions about his relationship with the press, specifically Snowdens request/condition that the media confer with the governments involved about what could and could not be published, given implications on national security.
- Did Snowden personally look through all the material? Pretty much, yes.
- Danish representative asked about the involvement of Denmark (the reply was a very diplomatic answer to the effect that such rumours should not be considered unfounded).
- They asked about his relationship to the Russian government (none official, bureaucratic contact mostly conducted through lawyers, they probably consider him a pain in the ass).
- Would others, such as Russia and China have similar abilities? Most probably, yes.
At the end, they lost the connection with Snowden and there was some outrage at EU governments denying Snowden asylum or even entry into the country to testify. There was some mention of extra problems brought to light by Snowden's revelations and things that need to be fixed, including in the treatment of whistleblowers.
- mercurial 12y agoAbout Denmark, there was a longer article in Information about it recently, which I still have to muster the courage and the dictionaries to read in details, but it sounded like "not unfounded" was quite the understatement.
