Edward Snowden’s Operating System with REDACTED


Listen Later


Software security is a critical issue for everyone, but it takes on an entirely different dimension when your life, or the lives of others, depend on it. Consider the security needs of an environmentalist whistle blower inside a chemical corporation, or a human rights activist in Iran. Hyper-secure and fully anonymous operating systems are vital for many legitimate use cases. They are a double-edge sword though, and also empower nefarious actors.

Tails is an operating system designed to protect against surveillance and censorship. Our guest today is a member of the Tails group. For privacy reasons we will refer to him as ludo.
