LIVE: Bad Weather Leaves NSA Scandal Snowd’en
Updated with full video – see below.
Welcome to NewsDesk on SiliconANGLE TV for Monday July 29, 2013. What started from the actions of whistleblower Edward Snowden leaking government documents that revealed information about the NSA’s top secret PRISM spying program, has evolved over the past two months into a conversation pitting civil liberties against national security which culminated into a decision last week by the US House to reject a proposal that would have restricted the NSA from the further collection of hundreds of millions of Americans phone records. Today, we take a look back at how one man’s actions have pulled privacy protection issues into the national spotlight.

On today’s episode of NewsDesk with Kristin Feledy, you’ll see our continued coverage of the Edward Snowden affair, and you’ll get a glimpse of everything from the House’s recent NSA opposition, to the lazy policing policies that led us to this point to begin with.
You’ll also see how the scandal drew bipartisan support, and how the word relevant even managed to lose its meaning. We’ll play our coverage of the internet giants and how they’ve been pressuring the NSA to open their books, and most of all, we’ll point the camera at Ed Snowden himself, to get a better idea as to who started this whole chain of events from unraveling.
There’s that, and earlier, we’ll be talking with Stu Miniman about converged infrastructure and the future of standardization on this morning’s NewsDesk with Kristin Feledy.
