False equivalency.
Of course Snowden himself is part of the story. It takes a human being to call out the Bots stealing our personal data. People these days must have drama or they don't pay attention. Others have been saying what Snowden is saying but until he took the personal risk of revealing that which was not supposed to be revealed, it was easier to ignore. Call him what you will, but his methods have finally exposed the lies and hypocrisy behind these egregious policies.
We have all been betrayed. Whatever you want to say to cloud the facts and lure people back into a state of delusion is not going to work. Snowden will go down in history as the geek that shook the world. No matter how hard people try to tell others there's nothing to see here.
Many have been awakened. Permanently.
