Snowden was more before my time paying attention to politics, can someone give me a fair rundown on the situation at the time, or the general fair perspectives?
For me, I see it as a guy who definitely broke the law, leaked very important stuff - but is also kind of the example of the kind of leak that most people are in favor of. I can understand the need to want 0 leaks, and to constantly protect against such, but I can also understand if my government is doing very illegal shit that it leaking is more important maybe.
I have trouble giving that benefit of the doubt to the slew of leaking shitfucks who are trying to screw over Trump. But I don't have that feeling towards Snowden - he seems to be the real deal. Change my mind, I guess?
Much appreciated, that went into a lot more detail than I was expecting and lays it out pretty well. Congrats, you've earned the "Random guy on the Internet I'm going to think is correct." reward! I'll still look into it a bit more when I have some time, but this seems not-apocryphal!
I did! But I assumed it was kind of not on the mark and a little too hopeful to reflect reality - I did like it a bunch tho!
