It's not up to Snowden. He no longer has the files or control of them. Luminous Animal Aug 2013 #10
That is not my understanding. Laelth Aug 2013 #11
Of course they will stay encrypted. He is still free and he is still alive. Luminous Animal Aug 2013 #12
Agreed. Snowden can not stop the release of already-decrypted files. n/t Laelth Aug 2013 #14

their newspaper, the Guardian, passes the info on to the NSA, and they release it first. That is somehow supposed to change the way people view it. I guess it is working?

Step right up suckers, bend over and take it like the fools you are. No doubt there will be lots more bullshit coming from these clowns. Neo-DU will eat it up without question.

Putin insisted upon him "no longer harming the United States" as a condition of his temporary asylum. As such, I suspect there will be no further revelations until Mr. Snowden finds a way to relocate.

And Greenwald and the Guardian have enough to keep them reporting for months.

The NY Times claims it will report next month on England's surveillance sysytem.

My understanding is that the files have been distributed to various sources, but that they are encrypted such that the recipients can not view them. Snowden, presumably, sends a weekly "remain encrypted" message that prevents the media from accessing the files. In the event that he were to fail to send his weekly (or monthly) "remain encrypted" message, the filed would self-decrypt, and all the material would be available for release.

So long as Snowden sends his periodic message, nobody has access to the files that have not yet been released, or so is my understanding. As such, in order to stay in Russia and "do no further harm to the United States," as per Putin's terms, Snowden is continuing to send his periodic "stay encrypted" message. Were he to fail to do so, his status in Russia would become perilous.

I could be wrong about this, but this is what my research has led me to believe. fwiw

The Guardian, WaPo & Der Spiegel have continued to publish using the materials that they were given at the outset. The New York Times intends to publish next month. They've continued to publish despite Putin's warning. There is nothing Snowden can do about this.

When y'all say Snowy and Greeny it bypasses that oh so sweet function that allows me to trash threads by keyword alone.

Kidding, not really, kinda, sorta, not at all.
