Edward Snowden deserves a seat in politics, he's done more for the people that politicians claim to serve

[rabby]

Phone manufacturing company should add a manual key to disconnect microphone, camera & gps.

[zakw]

This world is getting more Orwellian by the day.

[kitgumayegang]

He's been warning us from day one

[tomsuibney]

Edward snowden his name is synonymous with all the good traits of human beings & a thorn in the side of the less human...

True "This should not exist"
Privacy breaching can't be disguised as a nation security product by any private company it's totally baseless.

[paskowitz]

Before Snowden, people didn't know and didn't care even if they were aware. His actions, regardless of motivation, have been a tremendous benefit to society. More people understand and care that their privacy is being eroded on a daily basis. That said, the onus is now on us to demand better from our elected officials.

THE MADNESS OF THIS WORLD IS BEYOND ME 🤢

this is also why I liked the idea of removable batteries.

Imagine if this was a Chinese company. Sanctions would fly everywhere but because it's Israeli, don't even expect any talks of sanctions.

[chunlingtong]

I totally agree with Mr. Snowden “This is an industry that should not exit.” The US & the Western world always talk about “human rights!” So what are the rights of the individual in each of their respective country? If in those countries which the governments are corrupt & greedy, there will be no end to stop this kind of industry.

When you get arrested, your phone will used against you in court of law.

[rajat]

Privacy is not a product to be sold by any company or government.

[danwaltz]

This is a bussiness that should not exist thank you for those words Edward you are a hero and a whistleblower thank you again.

[BBakerStreetIND]

I always fear for this man. Don't know how strong his security is but the World needs this guy.

[FunAllDayLong]

Well done The Guardian for staying with Edward Snowden and covering this.

[pacoramon]

Israel: Nooo, we made this to fight terrorism
Knowing how they fight the terrorist in Gaza, is easy to know they didn't care who was using Pegasus.

[lteee]

Wasnt this guy censored away last year for the things he had to say about our orwellian futures and now hes headline news?

[debojyotisarkar]

"You can make yourself safer but we will not be safe until we change" i love this guy

[andreanicolas]

The level of respect this man deserves is beyond the ordinary recognition without addressing to the level of courage he has showed by maintaining the same attitude of truthfulness openly to the public no matter what has happened in his life.

You deserve way much better Ed but a Big Thank you for being true is the least we could say,

God has Blessed you indeed for being your true self. 🙏🏻🙌💪
