It doesn't help that Snowden divulged all the classified information he could get his hands on, even that unrelated to domestic spying. It comes across as a desire for fame rather than a principled action.
- Theodores 13y agoCompare and contrast Assange and Snowden. Assange was into monetizing leaks and being in control of what was leaked, to whom and when. Snowden went out of his way to not be 'in charge' of what was leaked, to whom and to when. He put trust in Greenwald and co. to do that. Snowden has not been paid, there is no ban on Paypal et al. accepting funds for him because, unlike Assange, he is not soliciting funds. He found himself employment in Russia to pay his way in the world. Clearly Snowden's work was wasted on you, just hope you have nothing to hide!
