Snowden risked his life to reveal years ago that the US government was spying on its own citizens. Now, under Trump, an unprecedented surveillance machine threatens our privacy more than ever. Have we learned nothing?

"They are not our tribe. They are not your personality. They have their own interests, their own values, their own things they're chasing.

Try to get what you need from them, but don't give yourself to them, even if you have to vote for them."

— Edward Snowden (Bitcoin 24' keynote speech)

Pardoning Ross consequentially won Trump support from people who might not have backed him otherwise—including Ross himself, who just wore a red Trump tribute tie to Bitcoin 2025 in gratitude. The move resonated with Libertarian voters and fulfilled a high-profile campaign promise. For Trump, it was no skin off his back—this is what he does. He does things for people in exchange for loyalty. Trump still hasn’t pardoned Snowden, as Obama commuted Chelsea Manning’s sentence.
