After Edward Snowden
In June 2013, the Guardian and Washington Post began publishing a series of reports based on confidential intelligence documents leaked by ex-NSA whistleblower, Edward Snowden. The following month, Snowden was charged under the Espionage Act and forced into exile in Russia.
The higher than top secret files exposed the true extent of the mass electronic spying operations of the NSA, GCHQ and their partners across the world. Revelations included the NSA's surveillance of US citizens, how GCHQ spied on diplomats during the G20 Summit in London in 2009, and details and codenames of specific snooping programmes like Boundless Informant, PRISM, Stellar Wind and XKeyscore.
The stories sparked a renewed interest in global surveillance and demands for transparency from the likes of the US Congress and the European Parliament. Duncan's career of exposing unlawful surveillance became relevant once again. He has published several articles on the subject and was invited to speak at numerous conferences, the European Parliament and the Council of Europe. Below you will find links to related commentary, videos, reports and articles.
