| What can those outside of the US do? For example, I am from the UK and would like to help however I can. | Everyone can sign at Link to StopWatching.Us Many of the people who built the site (me included) don't live in the US. |
| Others will surely have more to say -- Access and OpenMedia and other orgs involved here do a lot of international work. I really think that one useful angle is to put pressure on web corporations that are based in the U.S. but also operate (and frequently have way more users) abroad. | |
| One thing PCCC has been doing is fundraising for Edward Snowden's legal defense fund. Recall that Snowden has unveiled the scope of spying not only on Americans but on foreign citizens as well. You can donate here: Link to pccc.me | |
| Hey there! There are a few things that people can do to help. As taliesan said, you can sign the petition at StopWatching.Us. We'll be continuing to evolve the site so that international folks can better take part, and then we'll be delivering those petitions to Congress. | |
| You can also sign onto a joint petition by Access and EFF to the CEOs of the nine internet companies listed in the Guardian and other reports. A huge part of their existing and growth markets are outside the US. Tell them that as a customer, you demand they use their influence and stature to call on Congress for reforms. They all have big offices in DC and contacts in Congress. Here's the link to Access' petition: Link to www.accessnow.org and here's the one from EFF: Link to action.eff.org (they're the same letter). | |
| Finally, as a UK -- or European -- citizen, you can get in touch with your MEP from the UK and demand they support the European Commission's inquiry into PRISM] ([Link to europa.eu.) | |
| While you're at it, you probably want to tell those MEPs to support a strong Data Protection Regulation -- legislation currently in front of committee that will be critical to preserving privacy in Europe: [Link |

Science AMA Series: I’m Jessie Rosenberg, a Research Staff Member in the Silicon Photonics team at the IBM TJ Watson Research Center. I do research on CMOS-compatible silicon electro-optic modulation technology for use in inter- and intra-chip low power and high bandwidth optical interconnects. AMA!
Hi Reddit,
I’m Jessie Rosenberg, a research scientist at IBM Watson Research Center. I started my physics career as a young child dreaming of black holes and understanding how the world worked, a dream that eventually drove me to skip high school altogether and start college at the age of 13. In graduate school I was drawn to the field of photonics, the study of light for technological applications, and the many possibilities it offered for improving technology used in everyday life.
When I finished my PhD in Applied Physics at the California Institute of Technology at the age of 23, I immediately started working at IBM on their silicon photonics platform, developing technology to intimately integrate optical and electrical devices onto the same silicon chip. By leveraging the same fabrication techniques that are used today for highly advanced computer systems, silicon nanophotonics brings the advantages of high-bandwidth optical communication down to the chip scale and into mass production, aiming to do the same thing for optics that the integrated circuit did for electronics.
I was honored to be selected as one of the Forbes 30 Under 30 list of innovators in science in 2011, have been an Associate Editor for The Optical Society journal Optics Express since 2014, and served as a Program Chair for the Science and Innovations track of the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) 2016. I’m looking forward to taking your questions!
I will be back to answer your questions at 1pm EDT (10am PDT, 5pm UTC).

1 quote that perfectly explains the 2020 Democratic primary | "The biggest divide in the party is not between left and center. It's between those who believe once Trump is gone, things will go back to normal, and those that believe that our democracy is under a threat that goes beyond Trump." archive.is/wSJen
