Italian mafia fugitive arrested in Spain after being spotted on Google Street View

Sure.

The article mentions a scar on the chin, while showing a picture with a blurred face. Journalists seem to have lost any sense of curiosity.

Good thing my associates and I have been wearing these toad masks while making silly gestures to the Street View cars all these years.

From reading Snowden's works, my understanding is that any member or affiliate member of the 14 Eyes spy-data sharing countries is neck deep in private data gathering. This includes the US and UK, nearly all of Europe and Canada, along with Israel, Japan, Australia, South Korea and New Zealand

If any of those countries have consumer friendly data privacy laws that say they can't spy on their citizens, they just farm the work out to other 14 Eyes partners who spy on their citizens for them.

According to Snowden, the 14 Eyes spies are deeply imbedded in the internet backbone, have built-in backdoors to the email and cloud services providers, and have instant access to all phone conversations and text messages through the mobile phone providers.

The problem with Snowden's data is he has been proven correct at every point. You can't trust any of those governments as far as I can tell. You can only assume they already have all your data and act accordingly - i.e., never put anything in writing or speak about anything on or near a smart phone listening device that you would not want to be known.

Here's some good, quick reading on the topic, from Wikipedia, specific to Canada and Europe:

>"As a result of Snowden's disclosures, the FVEY alliance has become the subject of a growing amount of controversy in parts of the world:
Canada: In late 2013, Canadian federal judge Richard Mosley strongly rebuked the CSIS for outsourcing its surveillance of Canadians to overseas partner agencies. A 51-page court ruling asserts that the CSIS and other Canadian federal agencies have been illegally enlisting FVEY allies in global surveillance dragnets, while keeping domestic federal courts in the dark.[88][89][90]
European Union: In early 2014, the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs released a draft report which confirmed that the intelligence agencies of New Zealand and Canada have cooperated with the NSA under the Five Eyes programme and may have been actively sharing the personal data of EU citizens.[92][93]

That entire Wikipedia article on Five Eyes is worth reading - it goes into the 14 Eyes, and gives a lot of references.

The Guardian news has been the chronicler of Edward Snowden's revelations, and they have an entire archive about all their stories about him and his revelations going all the way back to the beginning, in 2013:

If you want to read an overview of all of Snowden's revelations in an afternoon, Wikipedia has done a pretty good job of summarizing the whole story. I don't normally think Wikipedia does good work, but in this instance it's a fairly well written and sourced document: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden

Snowden's autobiography, "Permanent Record" (2019), is the official document he wrote to memorialize his work. You should be able to find it through your local library, either paper, digital, or audio version, whichever you prefer.
