      Why? Do you think his criticism would be any less valid if spoken from a country that has explicit censorship laws?

      Kinda weird that you are trying to discredit someone with more knowledge on the topic than you… I would say his choice of countries was rather limited, and would actually lend more credence to the words as he has more data to base it off of.

      So go piss up a rope.

          Because the answer has no bearing on the point being made.

          Life is not a movie and 99.9% of the population would have made the same choice as Snowden.

          Either rot for life in a lightless cell or go to whatever country accepts you and doesn’t extradite you.

          Turns out that this country was Russia. The choice was simple.
