Edward Snowden – the man who leaked classified information from the National Security Agency (NSA) in 2013 and who is hailed by some as a whistleblower and condemned by others as a traitor – has co-created a conceptual iPhone case intended to prevent governments and various other parties from spying on smartphone users.
Smartphones, are of course, easily trackable – a “perfect tracking device” in Snowden’s words – and both governments and criminals can obtain all sorts of information about users (including the users’ locations) by monitoring signals emitted by phones.
