Just 14 hours ago, Edward Snowden posts his first tweet on twitter “Can you hear me now?”
Within those 14 hours he has tweeted 7 times, and when twitter confirms that this is his account, he now has more than half a million followers, in just 7 tweets.
In his next tweet he said “And now we’ve got water on Mars! Do you think they check passports at the border? Asking for a friend.”
He is following 1 person on twitter and that is the NSA (National Security Agency), and on his account description he writes “I used to work for the government. Now I work for the public. Director at @FreedomofPress”
In 2013 Edward Snowden exposed secret documents of NSA related to phone and internet surveillance, since then he is living in exile.
