The Other Ed Snowdens

Friday, October 31, 2014

Ed Snowden was not the only technologist to have defied the government’s secrecy programs. Ladar Levison and William Binney each paid the price for a moral stand against the U.S. government, and your digital privacy is better for it. This segment originally aired on WNYC's New Tech City.

Guests:

William Binney and Ladar Levison

Clearly some misinformation here, about Ladar Levison read these 2 comments from a much better security expert, Moxie Marlinspike:

And Snowden from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micha%C5%82_Zalewski:
"So... I'm decidedly ambivalent toward Edward Snowden. I found some of
his disclosures troubling; but I also felt that many more of them
were reported in a misguided way, ultimately unsurprising, and
probably deeply harmful to the US."
