Edward Snowden’s Own Words Below:
“When you’re in positions of, of privileged access like a systems administrator for these sort of intelligence community agencies, you’re exposed to a lot more information on a broader scale than the average employee, and because of that you see things that uh, maybe disturbing, but uh, over the course of a normal person’s career you’d only see one or two of these instances. Uh, when you see everything — you see them on a more frequent basis, and you recognize that some of these things are actually abuses, and when you talk to people about them, uh, in a place like this, where, this is the normal state of business, people tend not to take them very seriously, and you know, move on from them, but over time that awareness of wrongdoing sort of builds up, and you feel compelled to talk about it, and the more you talk about it the more you’re ignored, the more you’re told it’s not a problem, and until eventually you realize that uh, these things need to be determined by the public, not by somebody who’s simply hired by the government.”
“ATSATN” is a highly disruptive public news monitoring and censuring idea.
