Edward Snowden and Dutch search engine StartPage are hosting a live event on Thursday, November 10 at 4:30PM Eastern to address what happens to privacy in the Donald Trump era, among other questions, Engadget reports.

Snowden speaking engagements are nothing new, but this is special -- he's more than a little familiar with government spying activities, and this is his first chance to opine on how things might be different under a new administration.

Snowden hasn't said much of anything about the subject as of this writing. However, Trump doesn't exactly have a stellar record on internet privacy so far. He has proposed reauthorizing the Patriot Act and the previous, less restrained NSA mass surveillance that took place while the Act was in force. He tends to "err on the side of security" over privacy, even if he's not especially fond of it.

As such, Snowden probably won't have many kind things to say. He's in favor of more privacy wherever possible, and that could easily put him at greater odds with the U.S. government than he is now.
