Snowden’s decision to release such delicate information derive from his patriotism. To disclose those documents, he is risking his liberty and will be labeled as a traitor. Snowden main points for releasing the documents is to initiate a global debate about the right to privacy; he hope to gather signatures around the world of people who believe in protecting privacy as much as he does.

However, he fears that the world would not care and people would ignore the facts and top secret documents from the government spying program presented to them. Without people’s support, his sacrifice is but all for
