Following a screening of the Citizenfour film, Citizen Lab Director Ron Deibert hosted a Q&A session with Ben Wizner, the Director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s (ACLU) Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, and Attorney for NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden on January 26th, 2016 at Innis Town Hall. The event was co-hosted by the University of Toronto’s Centre for the Study of the United States (CSUS) at the Munk School of Global Affairs and the Arts and Science Students Union (ASSU).
Deibert discussed how Wizner came to represent Snowden, the status of the legal charges against him, and what his revelations suggest about the NSA’s surveillance programs.
