You’ve Got Mail: Snowden Gets 47 Gigs Worth’ of Twitter Notification Emails

13:06 GMT 02.10.2015 (Updated: 12:53 GMT 14.04.2023)

Former NSA Contractor Edward Snowden - Sputnik International

Recently, the famous whistleblower Edward Snowden joined Twitter, and that good deed has too not gone unpunished. Although this time he just got 47Gb of notifications instead of international persecution.

I forgot to turn off notifications. Twitter sent me an email for each: Follow Favorite Retweet DM 47 gigs of notifications. #lessonlearned
— Edward Snowden (@Snowden) October 1, 2015

Every time anyone retweeted, favorite or followed, Edward Snowden got an email about it. Here are the numbers: he has over 1.2 million followers, over 200,000 retweets and over 260,000 favorites.

That is an impressive following for anyone, especially for someone who’s only been on Twitter for four days and tweeted 14 times, but heavy hangs the crown-wearing email account.
