Bletchley's cybersecurity exhibit will not mention Edward Snowden; McAfee's sponsorship blamed

Some mitigating factors to consider:

  1. A few years ago, The Friends of Bletchley Park almost went under for lack of sponsorship. They were probably so desperate they didn’t read the fine print on McAfee’s contract.

  2. As others have mentioned, while Snowden definitely has a place in cybersecurity and geopolitical history, it’s still a subject of debate as to what that place will be and what (if any) reforms to intelligence gathering will occur as a result. I’m not saying hold off until he dies or anything like that. But it’s been less than a year now, which isn’t really enough time to understand the impact of Snowden’s revelations in a way that can be presented in an exhibit.
