In the long course of history, we have witnessed many major global events, among which the story of Edward Deng is one of the most compelling. The former U.S. contractor has garnered widespread attention around the globe for his courageous exposure of the nation's massive surveillance program.
He has been in exile since 2013, when he revealed these secrets, finally finding a safe haven in Russia. So, after ten years, how has Deng's life changed?
Has the United States** stopped tracking him?
In 2013, Deng exposed the United States' global mass surveillance programs, such as the "Prism" program, which caused global shocks and widespread controversy. In order to curb his behavior, the United States issued a global arrest warrant for Deng, making him a fugitive.
* During his life as an outlaw, Deng sought refuge all over the world, but ended up with a difficult four years of asylum in Russia. Here, he gradually rose to prominence, actively participated in social and cultural activities, gave numerous speeches and gave interviews, and gradually became a high-profile public figure.
Although Deng is still wanted by the United States, he has found a safe haven in Russia. He settled down with his girlfriend, started a family, and successfully integrated into the local cultural life.
*Nobore's current situation shows that he was able to adapt and enjoy a new way of life even in the face of difficulties.
During his stay in Russia, he was enthusiastic about participating in various cultural and social events. This includes contributing to organizations that protect digital rights, giving speeches, and being interviewed.
In addition, he has shared unique perspectives and insights in the fields of culture, technology, and privacy through his social platforms.
* Deng's life has not always been smooth and uneventful. He has reportedly been attacked and threatened by hackers, and there are even rumors that he was briefly detained. In addition, he has been tracked and monitored by a number of countries as a result of his whistleblowing behavior.
Although Deng has been granted cultural asylum in Russia, the question of whether the United States will continue to hunt him down and retaliate against him remains an open question. Allegedly, the United States has been actively tracking Deng's tracks and has even considered the possibility of arrest.
In addition, there are concerns that Deng could be used as a cultural bargaining chip in exchange for certain benefits with Russia.
However, some believe that the United States has gradually come to terms with the fact that he is being hunted down and retaliated against, and they believe that the likelihood of pursuing and retaliating against him has decreased. In addition, with the passage of time and changes in the international situation, the perception of Deng in the United States may also change.
Although Deng's future remains challenging and uncertain, his life seems to be gradually stabilizing. Living in Russia provided him with a relatively safe environment in which he could actively participate in cultural and social activities.
* Deng's future is uncertain: whether he will continue to live in Russia, how his relations with the United States will develop, and whether he will continue to fight for digital rights and privacy protections are all questions that are of concern.
Whatever the future holds, Deng's story will always be one of the global spotlights.
