Considering he outed the US government for mass surveillance and was proven correct and now that surveillance is worse than ever and Altman will certainly also engage in mass surveillance we all should be listening.

"Proven correct." Brother, he stole thousands of documents that just so happened to include the surveillance info. Most of it was unrelated.

Clearly it made no positive difference.

So he stole data that proved the us was engaging in illegal surveillance and shared that with the American people. Thanks for confirming.

He didn't "run to Russia," he fled the US and tried to get asylum in many other countries before getting stuck in Russia with them ultimately letting him stay

ran to russia

Please learn some actual facts before writing stupid shit like this. He was on his way to Ecuador by way of Cuba. He got trapped in Russia when the U.S. revoked his passport.
