Snowden has also made a statement of sorts by his choice of who to follow on Twitter. So far, he's only following one other Twitter account - the NSA.
For those skeptical that it's truly Snowden, The Intercept reports Snowden is controlling the verified account himself.
The former government contractor, who gained fame and notoriety after exposing a trove of classified national-security documents more than two years ago, is living in Russia.
