#Snowden, living in GRU safe house in Russia, who just deployed countrywide deep-packet inspection censorship and surveillance, quoted in Russia Today, a propaganda outlet, is certainly the authority to speak on "insulting privacy" 🤦♂️

Why do you say he lives in a GRU safe house? I know Snowden was rumoured to be in an FSB safe house immediately after he got stranded in Moscow Airport, but since then he has a job, residency and freedom of movement. I there any evidence I'm missing?
Russian media saw Snowden in Yasenevo back in 2014. Yasenevo is GRU headquarters, not FSB. Also if he indeed has "freedom of movement", he hasn't been using it too much - he was never saw in any public place, never met with journalists or fans, basically there's no evidence of him actually being free to do anything. Regarding your mention of "policy of never interviewing for Russian media", there's also no evidence of him having freedom to any policy.

Thanks for the reply. But 2014 is a long time ago, and before he had permanent residency, a wife or an apartment on the edge of Moscow. Did RT claim to have interviewed Snowden, or were they quoting from another outlet like most media does now? If copied, then being quoted in RT doesn't indicate much.
You don't know if he has residency, or an apartment on the edge of Moscow. Nobody knows that. Nobody was there, nobody has seen his residence card, nobody actually talked to Snowden other than on Skype and I think one journalist in an obscure hotel room.
