    Not sure where you’re getting Edward Snowden from in this screenshot or the main post. The article you linked to doesn’t appear to have any screenshots of google searches. And the original post appears to be about a defector, Schmidt.

      They’re talking about the list having a person’s name censored. They tracked down which article was visited (pretty easy to do, since removing a name from a headline doesn’t make the headline hard to search for).

      I suspected it was Snowden. I mean, who else has there been for notable US defectors that got prominent news articles?

        I doubt it was Snowden. A security expert wouldn’t used google as search engine, especially in a way they could pin point it back to him…

        Maybe the North Korean defector?
