Snowden, 10 years on...

A decade ago, we published the Edward Snowden revelations that forever changed our relationship to our privacy and governments. Since then, we have defied the powerful by landing scoops on everything from Big Tech to surveillance, offshore banking to cellphone spyware. We find out things that are wrong with society, so that the public can start putting them right. If that sounds like valuable, important work to you, support it today. Give just once from £1, or better yet, power us every month with a little more.
