1. You're funding someone who the government most likely has labelled a terrorist. I don't think the government will take too kindly to such a thing.
2. Snowden is in hiding. Not only might it be hard to come into contact with him, but how can we be sure our money will reach him?
I think #1 is not too difficult to solve via ways of bitcoin, but #2 is still a blocker.
Why should the government have a say on this at all? The person is doing a favor for the citizens of the whole world which happens to backfire for the government which has things to hide. Just the sole fact that government might be pissed about something transparency advocating like this should be enough of a reason to support it.
It's the government which should be afraid of the people and not the people who should be afraid of the government!
(Besides, I said should be rather than is. :)
huh? how do you get 'terrorist' from revealing secret information?
