New revelations from the Snowden archive surface


A decade after Snowden exposed NSA’s mass surveillance in cooperation with the British GCHQ, only about 1% of the documents have been published – but three major facts can finally be revealed thanks to a doctoral thesis in applied cryptography by Jacob Appelbaum

He risked his neck. When Edward #Snowden chose to expose the US National Security Agency (NSA)’s mass surveillance, Leviathan, and that of its British counterpart, GCHQ, 10 years ago, he put his life on the line. And he has always declared he has never regretted it.

He trusted in journalists to decide what to publish. In an article published in June 2023, by Guardian Pulitzer Prize winner Ewen MacAskill – who flew to Hong Kong with Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras to meet Edward Snowden – McAskill confirmed most of the archive has not been made public. “In the end, we published only about 1% of the document,” he wrote.

Well that was a mistake.
