Yet, in my view Snowden actions have been extremely important to set the discussions we are having today: how private do we expect our digital lives to be be it from the state or from megacorps.
I doubt that Facebook/CA affair in 2016 elections would have come to light (or have the same impact) had Snowden leaks not had happened.
I doubt that Europeans would have stoped being 100% subservient to American tech megacorps had those leaks not had happened.
I think alot of people around the world started even considering the importance of who is watching or listening to their digital life because of Snowden. Or at least, because of the conversation that his leaks started.
He wasnt alone in leaking information important to these conversations, but he definitely has become an important advocate of his leaks and his own message.
