(Born June 21, 1983) is an American IT specialist and a former employee of defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton (a contractor for the National Security Agency). In June 2013 Snowden revealed the mass domestic surveillance program known as “PRISM,”. This is an internet snooping program run by the National Security Agency after passage of the Patriot Act and Amendments. He explained to shocked Americans that the National Security Agency had in effect built a dossier on every man, woman and child in the United States of America, and probably beyond borders.
The revelations made Snowden the intelligence community nemesis.
After leaking the information in question, Snowden stayed in Hong Kong for a while; he then left China and went to Russia en route to seeking asylum in Ecuador. Snowden was apparently travelling on a passport that had been revoked. The Wikileaks organization has helped Snowden to stay ahead of Obama’s grasp. The president of Ecuador Rafael Correa explained that Snowden cannot go to Ecuador. At one point, Obama had Evo Morales, the prime minister of Bolivia detained in an inept attempt to intercept Snowden. As of July 6, 2013, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro had offered asylum to Snowden.
Snowden is a Libertarian and a Buddhist. Although he has claimed to have fought for freedom of speech, he nonetheless ignored that Ecuador was also practicing massive surveillance measures. He was alleged to be a Russian agent. The Russian government granted Snowden asylum for three years in Russia.
In 2020, many Americans called for Edward Snowden’s pardon by President Trump (along with Julian Assange) following the pardons of 26 victims of injustice and targeting by the corrupt DOJ.
Edward Snowden exposed the worst 4th Amendment violations in US history: the unlawful collection of data on millions of Americans.
His fight was on behalf of the American people.

Snowden released information on the theft of data and the NSA’s plans to release use it for their own purposes:
- The illegal collection of metadata of millions of Americans
- NSA plans to “Collect it All” and “Exploit it All”
- Economic espionage and the abuse of private data
Snowden’s information showed the Deep State is spying on everyone and then using it for their own purposes – perhaps even selling the data to thugs around the world for personal gain:
Forget the clichés and talking points of pundits and gov't officials.
Instead, read the source documents hosted by @ggreenwald
They show the scope of domestic surveillance abuses and global US operations.https://t.co/ZjSYddBfTS pic.twitter.com/HOgmGGKPBa

Snowden is being persecuted for standing up to the Deep State.
Prosecuting Snowden isn't about "justice" – if that was the case they'd have locked up the US officials who authorized and abused these programs.
This is about retaliation.
This is about an entitled Establishment who thinks they own your information.
Let Snowden come home.
