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.

Almost but not quite. If he would’ve stayed here and faced the music then it’s an unqualified yes, but his fleeing to Russia and hiding out there makes it no cigar to me.
I understand that he still was brave and gave up a lot to expose the information, but I think it may have had more impact, and would’ve been more heroic had he stayed here.
I could almost see an alternative history where he surrendered and then a whole political movement was born with him as the focal point.
He didn’t flee to Russia - he was going somewhere else and got stuck in Moscow on a layover because the US revoked his passport.
That said, I don’t like him staying there either, but maybe he really cannot leave.
I completely disagree about “facing the music” - it would have been a guaranteed and long prison sentence.
doesnt look hes safe if he travels to any country that would extradite him to the US. i assume russian friendly country is all he will go to.
his passport was revoked while in russia, russia(putin allowed him to stay) of course this serves a purpose as it provides propaganda against the west as well.
