Edward Snowden made a surprise appearance at TED today, telling the mostly supportive crowd to expect more revelations from his vast cache of secret National Security Agency documents.

The NSA whistleblower took to the stage during the conferences second day via a video chatbot he controlled from what TED organizer Chris Anderson called an undisclosed location. Snowden said there are still revelations to be made and stories to be told about the intelligence agency. I dont think theres any question that some of the most important reporting to be done is yet to come, Snowden said, just one week after appearing at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

To people who have seen and enjoyed the free and open internet, its up to us to preserve that liberty for the next generation to enjoy. Edward Snowden

Rather than the traditional 18-minute TED talk, in which a single speaker addresses the audience, Anderson essentially interviewed Snowden. Through a strikingly clear connection, the bot-ified Snowden was poised and good-humored as he called on tech companies to make SSL encryption the default for browsing the web. To people who have seen and enjoyed the free and open internet, its up to us to preserve that liberty for the next generation to enjoy, he said.

Anderson suggested that Snowdens sentiments parallel those of Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the web, who has recently used the 25th anniversary of the world wide web to call for an internet bill of rights. But because this was TED, Anderson didnt have to speculate on the similarities between the goals of Snowden and Berners-Lee. He simply brought Berners-Lee on stage to find out.

Asked by Anderson whether he thought Snowden was a traitor or a hero, Berners-Lee went with hero, if you have to make the choice between the two. Snowden said internet rights were not just about principles but about technology. I believe a magna carta for the internet is exactly what we need, Snowden said. We need to encode our values not just in writing but in the structure of the internet.

Berners-Lee told Snowden that his hope on the webs 25th anniversary was to get everyday users who dont normally consider the internet in terms of rights to consider the web they really want. He asked Snowden how he thought the web would best work. When we think about it in terms of how far we can go, I think thats a question thats limited only by what were willing to do, Snowden said. I think the internet that weve enjoyed in the past has been exactly what we, not just as a nation but as a people around the world, need. If the webs technologists can truly enlist the webs casual users as allies, he said, well get not just the internet weve had, but a better internet.

At the end of Snowdens appearance, Anderson stuck a TED conference badge on Snowndens bot and invited him to stick around for the week. With that, he rolled offstage, accompanied by his lawyer.

Snowden on stage at the TED 2014 conference in Vancouver on Tuesday.

Edward Snowden made a surprise appearance on the TED stage in Vancouver todayusing a Beam telepresence robot from "somewhere in Russia."

Snowden, in his second remote talk in eight days after an appearance at SXSW Interactive in Texas, urged online businesses to encrypt their websites immediately. "The biggest thing that an Internet company in America can do today, right now, without consulting lawyers, to protect users of the Internet around the world, is to enable Web encryption on every page you visit," he said. "If you look at a copy of 1984 on Amazon, the NSA can see a record of that, the Russians, the French canthe world's library is unencrypted. This is something we need to change, not just for Amazonall companies need to move to an encrypted browsing habit by default."

Snowden said the leaks from his document cache would continue. "There are absolutely more revelations to come," he said. "Some of the most important [publishing] to be done is yet to come."

He argued against personalizing his own role in leaking the documents to prompt debate. "Who I am really doesn't matter at all. If I'm the worst person in the world, you can hate me and move on. What really matters is the kind of Internet we want, the kind of relationship with society... I wouldn't use words like hero or traitor. I'm an American and a citizen."

"What Boundless Informant tells us is more communications are being intercepted in America by Americans than in Russia by Russians."

He said he struggled to find a way to leak the intelligence documents in as responsible a way as he could. "We did a lot of good things in the intelligence community. But there are also things that go too far... decisions made in secret without the public's awareness, the public's consent... When I really came to struggle with these issues, I thought to myself, how can I do these things in the most responsible way?" That was through responsible media. "The first amendment of the US constitution guarantees us a free pressto challenge the government but also to work together with the government, without putting our national security at risk. By working with journalists, by putting all of my information to the American people, we've had a robust debate with a deep investment by the US government, which is resulting in benefits for everyone." There has been no evidence "of even a single incident" whereby the leaks have caused harm.

He said the NSA's PRISM program allowed the US government to "deputize corporate America to do its dirty work for the NSA." "Much of the debate in the US [about PRISM] is it's just [about collecting] metadata. PRISM is about content. Even though some of these companies, Yahoo's one, challenged them in court, they all lostthey weren't tried by an open court but a secret court. Fifteen federal judges have reviewed these programs and found them to be lawful, but what they don't tell you is these are secret judges in secret courts of law." These courts had received 34,000 requests to access information and turned down just 11, he said. "These aren't the people we want deciding what the role of corporate America should be."

The NSA "intentionally misleads corporate partners," he said. One program, Bull Run, targeted America's own superstructure in dangerous ways, he said, after being dishonest to Internet companies. "They say, 'hey, we need to work with you to secure security systems.' In reality, they're giving bad advice to these companies. They're building in back doors. This is really dangerousif we lose the trust of something like SSL [encryption], which was specifically targeted, we won't be able to access banks, commerce, without worrying about people monitoring those communications."

"People should be able to pick up the phone and call their family, should be able to send a text message to their loved one, buy a book online, without worrying how this could look to a government possibly years in the future."

Snowden: Big revelations to come, reporting them is not a crime

VANCOUVER, Canada Edward Snowden on Tuesday said the biggest revelations have yet to come out of the estimated 1.7 million documents he acquired from the National Security Agency.

In a surprise appearance via satellite robot at the 2014 TED conference in Vancouver, Snowden said there is still a lot of reporting to be done, including diving deeper into the accusation that the NSA tricks companies into building backdoors into their systems that make data vulnerable to hackers across the world.

"Is it really terrorism that we're stopping? I say no," Snowden said. "The bottom line is that terrorism [...] has always been a cover for actions. Terrorism evokes an emotional response."

Snowden, who is still in hiding somewhere in Russia, maintained that his act wasn't reckless and that he did it all for the American people. He also said he would love to return to the United States if granted immunity.

"I don't want to harm my government" he said. "The fact that they're willing to ignore due process and declare guilt without a trial [...] these are things we need to work against as a society."

Snowden remains a controversial figure throughout the world, but he was speaking to the right crowd at TED. When Anderson asked the audience who disagreed with Snowden's actions, only a few hands shot into the air. When he asked if the room felt Snowden was right in handing over the NSA's secret, the audience erupted with applause. Tim Berners-Lee, a man widely credited with inventing the World Wide Web, then stepped on stage to talk with Snowden.

He called him a "hero."
