GOP Candidate Says Traitor Terrorist Snowden Should Be Removed from TwitterBy John Vibes Within a day of opening his first social media account since leaking information about the NSA spy program, Snowden gained over one million subscribers. However, there was only one account that he decided to follow the NSA. The whistleblowers first tweet read, Can you hear me now? Snowdens decision to follow the NSA speaks to the witty sense of humor he has only been able to show off at rare times during his exile. However, now he will be connected with the general public on a day-to-day basis, and along with bringing attention to his struggle, Snowden will finally be able to share his personality with the millions of people who respect him. The description for Snowdens new profile, @Snowden, reads: I used to work for the government. Now I work for the public. Snowdens new, direct engagement with the public has reenergized both his supporters and his critics. Some politicians have even called for Twitter to ban his account. Former New York Governor and current presidential candidate George E. Pataki tweeted to Twitter cofounder and CEO Jack Dorsey, imploring him to shut down Snowdens account while implying he was a traitor and a terrorist. The presidential candidate, whojoined Twitter onOctober, 19 2014, only has 54,000 followers as of this writing, on the popular social media site. George E. Pataki (@GovernorPataki) September 29, 2015 Snowden is currently living in asylum in Russia and is wanted in the United States for charges under the federal Espionage Act, but Russia has declined to extradite him.
