Snowden News

The founder of VKontakte (Russia's most popular social-network) offered a job to Edward Snowden, after Russia granted him asylum status for one-year, allowing him to formally cross the border. A former contractor for the NSA, Snowden has been in Russia since June 23, when he arrived from Hong Kong but was staying in the airport transit zone since then.

Canada's CBC News on Wednesday reported that Canadian authorities allowed the US National Security Agency to spy in the country during the G8 and G20 summits in Ontario in 2010. The news website claimed that the documents shared by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden reveal that the NSA used the US embassy in Ottawa for nearly a week-long spying operation.
