In my opinion, Snowden is a hero and a patriot. Gave up a cushy, lucrative career, his friends, his home, his family and his country - probably for the rest of his life - to let the world know how deeply modern privacy is constantly violated.
As for Assange, I'm pretty confident all the sexual offence accusations are bullshit. Just tools to smear and contain him.
What do you think?
In the world we live in today, there is no such thing as privacy anymore.
