If you are logged in to Twitter, you can submit your question down below the live twitter feed, below. You’ll want to click the link above to read Snowden’s live responses.
Snowden is expected to respond to President Obama’s proposal for modest reforms to the NSA. He’ll also likely respond to accusations from a few U.S. officials that he had ‘help from Russia’ or is a defector. Read his initial response to those claims published by the New Yorker today here.
TIP: It’s best to submit the questions starting tomorrow, the day of the event. We’ve set up a widget where you can see questions people around the world are already submitting:
can you release the information on voice to skull and the location of the nsa agents and other using voice to skull?

Epic response: This is a global problem, and America needs to take the lead in fixing it. If our government decides our Constitution’s 4th Amendment prohibition against unreasonable seizures no longer applies simply because that’s a more efficient means of snooping, we’re setting a precedent that immunizes the government of every two-bit dictator to perform the same kind of indiscriminate, dragnet surveillance of entire populations that the NSA is doing.
It’s not good for our country, it’s not good for the world, and I wasn’t going to stand by and watch it happen, no matter how much it cost me. The NSA and the rest of the US Intelligence Community is exceptionally well positioned to meet our intelligence requirements through targeted surveillance — the same way we’ve always done it — without resorting to the mass surveillance of entire populations.
When we’re sophisticated enough to be able to break into any device in the world we want to (up to and including Angela Merkel’s phone, if reports are to be believed), there’s no excuse to wasting our time collecting the call records of grandmothers in Missouri…
