So many of the things we’re told by the government simply aren’t true Picture Quote #1

These activities can be misconstrued, misinterpreted, and used to harm you as an individual, even without the government having any intent to do you wrong Picture Quote #1

The government has granted itself power it is not entitled to. There is no public oversight. The result is people like myself have the latitude to go further than they are allowed to Picture Quote #1

If you seek to help, join the open source community and fight to keep the spirit of the press alive and the internet free. I have been to the darkest corners of government, and what they fear is light Picture Quote #1

Because, remember, I didn’t want to change society. I wanted to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself Picture Quote #1

My perspective is if you’re not willing to be called a few names to help out your country, you don’t care enough Picture Quote #1

If you’re not acting on your beliefs, then they probably aren’t real Picture Quote #1

I care more about the country than what happens to me. But we can’t allow the law to become a political weapon or agree to scare people away from standing up for their rights, no matter how good the deal. I’m not going to be part of that Picture Quote #1

The question for us is not what new story will come out next. The question is, what are we going to do about it? Picture Quote #1

We have the means and we have the technology to end mass surveillance without any legislative action at all, without any policy changes Picture Quote #1

I carefully evaluated every single document I disclosed to ensure that each was legitimately in the public interest. There are all sorts of documents that would have made a big impact that I didn’t turn over, because harming people isn’t my goal. Transparency is Picture Quote #1
