Whistle-blower Edward Snowden has called on supporters to spur development of easy-to-use technologies to subvert Government surveillance programs around the globe.
Addressing conference attendees on Saturday via video link from Moscow, said he intends to devote much of his time to promoting such technologies, including ones that allow people to communicate anonymously and encrypt their messages.
Speaking at Hackers On Planet Earth, or HOPE, Snowden was one of many talks detailing approaches for thwarting Government surveillance, including a system known as SecureDrop that is designed to allow people to anonymously leak documents to journalists.
