Edward Snowden has just joined Twitter.
@Snowden’s first tweet? “Can you hear me now?”
That tweet might be a jab at the only account @Snowden is following: @NSAGov, the official account for the National Security Agency, his former employer and the organization from which Snowden leaked classified documents in 2013.
The account, which is verified by Twitter, has a bio reading, “I used to work for the government. Now I work for the public. Director at @FreedomofPress.”
