But the opening tweet is ofcourse the tip of an iceberg to come. Snowden made his intentions clear, when he chose to follow a single twitter handle, which was none other than that of the US National Security Agency/Central Security Service. Suffice to say, Snowden chose to follow what 'follows' everyone else.
Snowden's current followers include Indian politicians like Omar Abdullah, journalists like Shekhar Gupta and academic scholars among others.
