QOTD: Sir Tim Berners Lee
by digby
As related by Ben Wizner, Edward Snowden's attorney at today's SXSW chat:
Just before this began, I got an email from Sir Tim Berners Lee the creator of the World Wide Web who asked for the privilege of the first question to you... He wanted to thank you and believes your actions were profoundly in the public interest.
For those of you who are upset that Snowden is allowed to speak freely what with being a wanted man and purported Russian spy and all, don't worry. Nobody really gives a shit:
[A]ccording to USA TODAY's Jon Swartz, reporting from SXSW, lines for a competing chat with Girls star Lena Dunham are 10 times longer than the the line for Snowden's talk.
Everybody can relax.
