Edward Snowden: A Decade in Russia Despite U.S. Law Changes

Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who fled the US in 2013 and revealed highly classified US surveillance programs, has been living in Russia for the past decade and received Russian citizenship last year. Snowden's revelations provoked a fierce debate over government surveillance, personal privacy, and the power and perils of technology. New laws, including the USA Freedom Act, have been enacted to prohibit the bulk collection of phone records by American citizens. Snowden's critics often attack him for living in Russia, but he says his attempts to move to other countries have been thwarted by the US government.
