Edward Snowden, who has confounded US officials since his abrupt departure from the country, has just found a new megaphone in Twitter.
The former National Security Agency worker, who leaked classified documents about government surveillance, started tweeting today. The account, which is verified by Twitter, had more than 185,000 followers an hour after its first tweet, "Can you hear me now?"
He is following just one account on the messaging service: the National Security Agency.
