  • Ed Snowden And WikiLeaks Are Having A Bit Of A Public Bitch Fight

    Whistleblower Edward Snowden versus whistleblowers extraordinaire WikiLeaks – fight.

    For those not familiar with Snowden, he’d be the man behind the National Security Agency leak back in 2013.

    You’d think that would mean he was on board with WikiLeaks and the email scandal that threatened to derail the Democratic National Convention, but he has one issue with Julian Assange’s crew.

    Here’s the tweet he sent out that started the war of words:

    To put that simply, Snowden believes that WikiLeaks should have censored some of the more personal information that formed part of the leaked emails. Politico reports:

    The DNC records posted by WikiLeaks over the weekend had a major impact, effectively ousting the party’s chairwoman over staffers’ bias against Sen. Bernie Sanders in the recent presidential primary race.

    However, the files were released in a raw form, containing dates of birth, social security numbers and credit card numbers for DNC donors and guests.

    And now the WikiLeaks response to Snowden’s tweet:

    The transparency group’s talk of a “pardon” for Snowden was a reference to the fact that the former NSA contractor is in self-imposed exile in Russia, avoiding prosecution on criminal charges he faces in a U.S. court for violating classified information laws and stealing government property.

    In a tweet earlier Thursday, WikiLeaks appeared to defend the practice of releasing raw data.

    “Our accuracy policy. We do not tamper with the evidentiary value of important historical archives,” the group wrote.

    Edward Snowden has yet to respond.

    Just play nice whistleblowers, or else Trump will set the Russians on you.
