Edward Snowden gave testimony via video-link to Council of Europe at parliamentary hearing today (8 Apr).
Highlights:
- NSA spying on human rights organizations both within US borders and abroad
- usage of dragnet and data-mining for general law enforcement (not only for intelligence affairs)
- (popular level) description of used XKeyscore technology and it's capabilities
AFAIK this is the first time Edward Snowden testifies to any legislative organization.
