The SXSW (South by Southwest) Interactive Festival was held in Austin, TX last week. The annual event combines presentations and panels on emerging technology with film, music, and networking events. Click here for more information on the SXSW Festival.
While this year's festival was sadly marked by the tragic car accident on March 13, which has now claimed the lives of three festival-goers, another important headline from the SXSW event was a live video presentation by Edward Snowden on March 10. Snowden's speech discussed how U.S. citizens can protect their internet privacy, especially focusing on encryption for web traffic. An article discussing Snowden's speech is available here from ABC News.
