A Decade After Snowden's Leaks: Reflections and Repercussions.
TL;DR Summary
The Guardian's defence and security editor recounts the story of how the newspaper came to publish Edward Snowden's revelations about mass surveillance techniques and data gathering by intelligence agencies. The leak of tens of thousands of top-secret documents led to a small group of reporters and IT experts working in a special projects room, where they were advised they could be breaking the Official Secrets Act. The revelations were an inflection point, leading to a global debate about who gets to keep what information and for how long.
