Do you view Edward Snowden favorably? Why or why not?


Russia on Monday granted citizenship to former American intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, who fled prosecution after he revealed highly classified U.S. surveillance programs to capture communications and data from around the world.

A decree signed Monday by Russian President Vladimir Putin listed Snowden as one of 75 foreign citizens listed as being granted Russian citizenship.

I think on the one hand, it's good to fight unethical surveillance.

On the other hand, imagine being a Russian citizen in this day and age.

Problem is he's going to have to live the rest of his life in a place that isn't interested in kissing the US ass by extraditing him, Russia at this point is likely going to the best option for him.

i used to view him favourably until i learned he was also putting out the names of underage rape victims to the public and outing closeted homosexuals in countries where they would be executed for it

Of course. The government was/is doing unethical things and deserves to be called out for it.

Don't fall for the distraction. Russia is doing this now to try and get allies arguing over it while they continue their invasion.
