Edward Snowden just appeared on Russian state TV (Rossiya 1) to amplify FSB talking points about Western intelligence compromising Russian officials' phones through Microsoft, Apple, and Google. This is what happens when you trade actual whistleblowing for asylum in Moscow. Snowden went from exposing US mass surveillance to becoming a living prop for Russian disinformation. The irony of using someone who revealed intelligence overreach to legitimize his host nation's conspiracy theories is almost elegant.
