Open Dialogue: Edward Snowden, Live from Russia | Dalhousie University

With international digital security scandals in the headlines, now more than ever people are asking, “As global citizens, what are our rights and responsibilities when it comes to privacy?”
This drove the conversation with former American intelligence officer and fugitive Edward Snowden at Dal (via livestream from Moscow, Russia). Professor Frank Harvey, Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences at Dalhousie University, agrees. Dr. Harvey was moderator for the Snowden discussion, accompanied by Mr. Snowden’s legal counsel, Robert Tibbo.

At about 57:00 the audio gets garbled and almost impossible to hear. Why did they wait so long to let Edward know there were audio issues?? His audio was unintelligible for 15 MINUTES, which included the most important information!! Once they finally got his audio fixed, they didn't have him repeat any of what we missed. Instead, they just skipped to questions. Very disappointing!!

Transmission was corrupted via NSA.

We need to understand the balance of power between ordinary people (private citizens) and public officials rights. When the highest officials among us are held to the lowest standards and the least of us are held to the highest scrutiny where does that leave us? When we have this inversion where the government knows everything about us and we know nothing about them because of state secrets, where does that lead us? When the laws for so many years have been at least intended or we hope was engineered to protect us are increasingly used to violate us where does that lead? I would say to you do no take it lightly when you run into conflict with the law, but remember that what is legal is not necessarily moral! That is not to the determinant of right or wrong and sometimes the only moral decision is to break the law?...

I’ve decided I need to be more self sustaining. I am way to reliant on society for basic necessities. so I purchased 10 chicks and I shall name one of them Eggward Snowden in honor of this man who made the heroic decision to enlighten the people of mass violation of rights. Thank you for your service ❤️

The video becomes very choppy nearing the one hour mark. I wonder if this is intentional interference?

[@nestormozqueda6355]

I can’t be the first comment...what’s wrong with everyone. Why does no one care about his topic anymore...
