I don't agree with Snowden's actions completely, but, on the whole, he acted in good faith.
I think the mass dump was a little ill advised, and he maybe could have thrown his lot in with slightly more responsible journalists who could have arbitrated what would be useful for the public to know a little more judiciously (I like Greenwald, but he can be unreasonable sometimes). However, on the whole I think it was for the good. I think its important to remember that he didn't have a lot of time to act once he started down this road, so I'm sure some hasty decisions were made.
- frandroid 10y agoHe didn't mass-dump like Wikileaks does though; Greenwald has been dripping out the vetted content over time..
- nickpsecurity 10y agoNo, he mass-dumped domestic and foreign operations... including those used on highest-value targets... onto foreign journalists intent to publish best of it. That either equivalent to what Manning did or pretty close. They latter published lots of this with real consequences for NSA's SIGINT. He also didn't have to.
