    This doesn’t really seem like OOTL and more like “I need someone to Google this for me.” I usually hate snarky answers like the one I’m writing right now, but come on.

        Snowden later made contact with Glenn Greenwald, a journalist working at The Guardian.[111] He contacted Greenwald anonymously as “Cincinnatus”[112][113] and said he had sensitive documents that he would like to share.[114] Greenwald found the measures that the source asked him to take to secure their communications, such as encrypting email, too annoying to employ. Snowden then contacted

        what the fuck, Glenn.

        OP is 48 years old. She has no homework assignments. Her curiosity on this topic was piqued by another Lemmy post.

        Yes! That’s what Lemmy is all about. If I wanted to sit in a dark quiet room and stare at Google and Wikipedia with no interaction, I would do that.

      I’m going to play devil’s advocate here and say that while they could search it, there are specific questions they wanted answers to and many articles go into a lot of depth.

      Many Lemmy answers are going to be much more succinct and only provide what is asked or even give alternative viewpoints/sources in one spot.

      It doesn’t excuse the laziness, but more an alternative perspective.
