Teen girls add Edward Snowden on Twitter group chat, have no clue about who he is
A group of teenage girls randomly added Edward Snowden and other famous personalities to a Twitter DM chat and had an unexpectedly hilarious conversation. Snowden, the infamous whistleblower who even has an FBI warrant in his name, was included along with the likes of football coach Les Miles, Robert James Hamilton, and writer Dave Lozo in the private group chat by the girls who gave their take on popular culture in a light-hearted way.
Lozo, who goes by the Twitter name, Davril Lavignezo, decided to make use of the unusual opportunity to gain some tween insight. Needless to say he was having a good time.
I don't know why but teens have added me to a 30-person DM list so I'm trying to stay involved pic.twitter.com/dTdCvBAEZ1

Now they are talking about how Avril Lavigne is really dead and she has body doubles. What a time to be alive.

At first, he asked the girls about which pop star they preferred more – Demi Lovato or Taylor Swift?

And also about Friends, a classic sitcom, that ran for several seasons on international television.

He even asked about Donald Trump, a controversial figure in the run-up to the U.S. Presidential elections.

But when the youngsters started speculating who Snowden really was, it finally prompted him to start responding to them but in a guarded way.

Welp, @Snowden has joined the teen chat and is asking questions now. What a world. pic.twitter.com/uPCCRMKTnZ

Aware that the American government would be tracking their conversation and concerned for the girls’ well-being, he decided to finally sign off in style.
So @Snowden bailed for the good of our privacy but ducked the hard question about Friends. pic.twitter.com/0GKLrx9n1l
