Edward Snowden at the MIT Media Lab

Edward Snowden and Bunnie Huang present research on hardware introspection to protect journalists from state-level digital surveillance.

Edward Snowden and Bunnie Huang present "Against the law: countering lawful abuses of digital surveillance", original research at the MIT Media Lab's Forbidden Research conference. Description: "The FBI argues that universal government access to personal devices is justified by the threat of terrorism, but around the world, digital surveillance is leading to the disappearance of journalists, human-rights workers, and dissidents. History tells us that many jurisdictions can secure easy access to court orders to monitor civil society, particularly those with poor records on human rights. Can researchers provide a means to protect the work of journalists that is more reliable than law, and what are the collateral risks?" -media.mit.edu/events/forbidden/agenda The paper presented is available here: pubpub.org/pub/direct-radio-introspection The complete conference is available as an 8 hour YouTube recording of the entire conference, here: youtube.com/watch?v=bxiT5Q6WZaU
