Edward Snowden has taken part in a video conversation at the South By Southwest (SXSW) conference along with representatives of the American Civil Liberties Union.

The talk was announced last week, and protested this weekend by US congressman Mike Pompeo. Kansas Republican representative Pompeo is not a fan of Snowden and called him an attention seeking self-promoter. He asked SXSW to halt Snowden's appearance, but he was ignored.

Snowden was joined at the event in Austin Texas by ACLU technology leader Christopher Soghoian and Ben Wizner, a First Amendment advocate and director of the ACLU speech, privacy and technology project in a talk called "A Virtual Conversation With Edward Snowden."
