My tweets on Snowden

Ed Snowden had a videochat Q&A this week with the IETF after a showing of  the Citizen Four movie.  For some background, see Mark's blog posting.  I ended up live-tweeting the session.  This blog just collects all the tweets into one convenient place.

• Holy s--t! Video Q&A with Eric Snowden at IETF 93
• Snowden: we need to divorce identity from persona in a lasting way.
• Snowden: Most dangerous part is the network path. Simplest path is safest.
• Snowden:who is the Internet for, who does it server, who is the IETF's ultimate customer? (His view: the users; not govt or biz)
• Snowden: the user at scale has a greater claim to privacy and safety than the enterprise does on DLP, etc.
• Snowden: credit cards on the internet are dangerous for human rights because they make real-world identity the norm.
• Before, I was impressed by the courage and what Snowden did. Hearing his thoughtful detailed Q&A, I am overwhelmed his intelligence.
• Snowden: SPUD makes UDP a new channel for leaking metadata about users' intents
• Snowden: we need to reduce the amount of metadata leakage, not increase it.
• Snowden: Ossificiation isn't the IETF's fault, it's those who deployed systems and didn't update them, failing to help tend our garden.
• Snowden: wireless is a difficult important problem. Globally unique hardware identifiers aren't the best system. How do we fix that?
• Snowden: Can we allow MAC address conflicts addressed in software to keep user privacy?
