Farewell phrase that goes back to Edward Snowden. He says goodbye with "stay free" instead of "stay safe", because in his view the excessive need for security after 9/11 has led to the current lack of freedom and encroachment by the government. By saying "stay free," people express their approval of a free society and their loyalty to Snowden.
