Edward Snowden is a national hero and was very brave. He had a wonderful affluent life with a beautiful wife and family in Hawaii and he gave it all up to tell the American people the truth

Yes and it was good that he did what had to be done...

[@vinay1571]

It's really upsetting to see people who fume over him "becoming a Russian citizen" as something that's wrong. He sacrificed so many of his years contributing to service. Now he has a family, so let him live. Yeah he said he "would do anything". But one must understand that now he has children, he has other commitments. Not everybody has to be on the frontline.

[@MetalSStar196]

@@fisrael Correction: He's just USA's most-wanted as the NSA is an intelligence arm of the USA's hybrid forces, bridging the gap between the US government and CIA as far as necessary intelligence findings are concerned. They're still considered as being under the US government's employ, whether as a contract intelligence officer or as an internal hire. That's just the basic logistics. It gets more complicated than that once you're in.

Salute that takes a lot of courage

[@stuartweston678]

We all knew this was going on before Edward Snowdon let the cat out of the bag. The man deserves a medal for his selfless act of honesty. And letting the world know no one is safe.

[@erickim1739]

We all knew but Snowden gave us all concrete tangible proof it all of it!

[@WeAreLegion7]

You are all either stupid or bots. Snowden is not a hero or wanted by the fbi or NSA because he is CIA. A psyops. He didn't leak anything we didn't already know the documents he posted I leaked 3 years prior. He's not a hero because he was used as a excuse to take all of your online privacy. Government spying. Do you really think they can't find him. Really think these leaks weren't not only allowed by purposely done for the patriot act. Yall are a shame. Not one of you thinks for themselves

[@CivRichieP]

Right? We knew, but this gave us closure. He basically did the scene from Jurassic Park where he's like "Hey everyone you're being spied on. See? Nobody cares." Intelligence agencies should be thanking him. I honesty could give a shit less if I'm being watched while I poop, as long as it helps agencies find terrorist better.

[@greenpedal370]

At first I thought he was bad but I am beginning to understand that what he did was good for the world. What does worry me is that the NSA was so badly run that a mere contractor (not employee) could do such damage. Those in charge of the NSA should be the ones in jail.

[@andrewmoore9096]

exposing illegal activity should never be a crime. How corrupt is it that he is now hunted as a criminal by the very organization (government) that he exposed for undertaking criminal activity.

[@user-ox3jk4yl4y]

He needs to expose the KGB as well even Koch brothers innehich whose world already knows what they are all about

[@Frstypwngaming]

Hats off to this tragic hero! He will go down in history as a legendary individual!

[@jrseffort7370]

I'm glad he ended up where he's, safe & sound outside of America's reach. I wish him genuine peace & happiness! I hope he always take the necessary safety precautions!! Long may he live!!!

[@cdmit27]

Yeah but he's in Russia. That can't be fun.

[@bleezy5203]

He is an American hero & I side with Snowden over this corrupt government god bless Russia for saving & keeing this HERO safe.

[@carolreid4821]

Being sent into exile into a foreign country considered by your country of origin an adversary, saved his life( thanks to Russia) but giving up a life in Hawaii making a career starting around $200,000 plus perks, for disclosing what the government knew to be illegal: spying on its own citizens, that is hardly, in my opinion alright.

It means the US security will be more top notch than he met it, hence helping them improve their security architecture

So when they do wrong lol , they label it classified information lmaoo its funny how he is facing jail time for exposing their wrong doings like huh??????

[@user-ws2ez3pp8i]

Snowden is a brave, intelligent and patriotic man who took a stand against the increasing surveillance by the government and put his life on the line for the everyday American citizen. The fact that the government wants to publicly crucify him is due to the fact he exposed the massive wrongdoing that they never wanted to see in the light of day. I admire his commitment to the ideals he stood by.

[@nelsonsavarie5206]

I like him ! We Need more people like Snowden fighting for the people the governments of the world are getting out of control and no accountability

[@d-pap6525]

This is a great example that the less our government has control of, the better. Not saying that we don't need a government, but they have too much power
