Overall, I gotta say that while Snowden’s early actions around the time of the leak ALREADY gave me cause to doubt his motives and sincerity, the whole thing of contacting GG BEFORE going back as a contractor, and then scamming coworkers for their passwords really, truly takes this SO FAR beyond ‘whistleblowing’ that I can’t understand anyone standing up for him who doesn’t have a financial interest or a political motivation.

Of course, dudebros will say, “Information wants to be free, man!” but they’re just morons.
