2. Throughout his career, he grew more and more suspicious of and worried about the government surveillance he had observed.
3. In 2013, he managed to smuggle evidential data out the NSA systems on a thumb drive.

    Edward Snowden first got employed by the U.S. government as a contractor for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 2006.

    Over the next few years, Snowden worked for various government agencies and contractors, including the National Security Agency (NSA).

    During his time working for the NSA, Snowden became concerned about the extent of government surveillance programs and the potential for abuse of power.

    In 2013, Snowden began copying and downloading classified government documents related to government surveillance programs.

    In May 2013, Snowden flew to Hong Kong and provided classified documents to journalists Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras.

    The journalists published stories in The Guardian and The Washington Post, which revealed the extent of the U.S. government's surveillance programs and sparked a global debate about privacy and government surveillance.

    After the publication of the stories, the U.S. government charged Snowden with violating the Espionage Act and issued a warrant for his arrest.

    Snowden fled Hong Kong and travelled to Russia, where he was granted asylum.

    In the years since the leak, Snowden has continued to be a prominent figure in debates about privacy and government surveillance, and has been a vocal critic of government surveillance practices.
