Incorrect. One person -- or one group -- or one ideology -- doesn't get to decide all that matters for everyone.

Your reply is worded so generally and vaguely I don't even understand what you mean.

Who "gets" to "decide" what in your reply? Please be specific.

I know the feeling. I've struggled to understand what you write as well.

Yes, I was making a general point. When you wrote "In the end, that's all that matters." you are claiming that the truth (or lack thereof) of what Snowden said is all that matters. This is an overly simplistic and narrow view. Such a view disregards the rest of the situation, including ethics, impacts over different time scales, disinformation, and geopolitics.
