I personally do, he actually risked his life to release information about the government spying on people. And there are for sure more advanced ways now. Even your phone is listening.

    Most of us here are more of a hero, because we had the backbone to never actually work for those fascist services to begin with.

      “Most of us here are more of a hero” Did you risk your life too? Did you release knowledge of government wrong doings, or similar? I doubt most people here did. I assume he did have some knowledge of spying but not to that scale.

        You missed the point. To get that kind of knowledge, he first had to subscribe to the evil team. Which he did. It would be different if he had joined from the beginning with the motive to expose unlawful practices by the services. It is more heroic to not join team evil in the first place.
