>Ladar Levison, owner of the now defunct email service, has been forbidden since then, under threat of contempt and possibly jail time, from identifying who the government was investigating. In court documents from the case unsealed in late 2013, all information that could identify the customer was redacted.

>But federal authorities recently screwed up and revealed the secret themselves when they published a cache of case documents but failed to redact one identifying piece of information about the target: his email address, Ed_Snowden@lavabit.com. With that, the very authorities holding the threat of jail time over Levison’s head if he said anything have confirmed what everyone had long ago presumed: that the target account was Snowden’s.

There are still people that would be ignorant enough not to see the writing on the wall until the offender [in this context gov] publically fucks up entirely. So this is basically a "told you so" to normalfags.

Of course, the boomers are far more cucked than even the millenials. Even braindead millenials know shit's fucked up, but the boomers? Not only do they not give a shit that the 4th amendment got thrown in the incinerator, they're cheering the government on as they do it. Fuck this gay earth.

>revelations

There's that word again. Everyone that's interacted with the Snowden story (and it's quite a story) has used specific, pointed, uniform language and style when writing up about him or the files he exfiltrated. The problem is that there was nothing really new in the stories, he just gave hard evidence to what people already knew or at the very least suspected. The only real change was opening up FISC to the public. Every story has been ran by government officials prior to publication; Poitras and the other gatekeepers have said as much in interviews. These are just MDRs disguised as journalism. Why did Snowden go to Poitras and Greenwald over other investigative journalists who at least had some experience with that sort of thing? He could have chosen anyone - Duncan Campbell, Nicky Hager, hell even Bamford would have been a decent choice. This cottage leak industry is bullshit.

I agree it is suspicious. It's been beat to death already but the amount of media attention he got for basically confirming what most technologically capable people already knew is suspicious to say the least. When you look at other political scandals that involve an entire branch of government's corruption they are usually downplayed and/or not covered all together.

The "tinfoil" theory I find the most entertaining is the one that claims Snowden is the public face of a CIA-NSA turf war.

 No.546338

Ed_Snowden could have been anybody, this doesn't prove anything. How do you know they weren't after somebody named Eduardo Snowden or Edison Snowden or Edith Snowden? You're all a bunch of tinfoil hatted conspiracy nuts.

I wouldn't be surprised if some people actually think Ed is too broad to confirm it was Edward, considering all of the other shit dumbasses believe about him.

But they were relevant for the same reasons that this new Lavabit information is relevant; there is no shadow of a doubt or plausible deniability. People lied to Congress to hide this program. The executive branch is still damage controlling, propagandizing, and trying to expand their illicit powers; the legislature is still dragging their feet on this issue; the courts don't care at all. It's going to come back to bite them harder than they think if they don't fix it.

>>546338

It doesn't really matter whether or not it was his e-mail address, it's the fact that the feds forced Lavabit to shut down on a hunch. Sort of like that terrorist's iPhone. They won't get anything from it because it was a business phone and the phones they used to contact terrorists were smashed to pieces. The important thing is that the FBI is going full retard trying to open it up by force.

Again, right fucking on Ladar Levison for doing the ethical thing.
