Resumo(s)
Edward Snowden é um ex-trabalhador da Agência Nacional de Segurança dos Estados Unidos e divulgou em 2013 documentos confidenciais que revelaram programas de vigilância em massa do governo norte-americano, que incluíam a recolha indiscriminada de dados de comunicações de cidadãos americanos e estrangeiros. O caso desencadeou um debate global sobre vigilância governamental, privacidade e os limites do poder estatal, recebendo reações divergentes. Por alguns considerado herói por ter exposto práticas
governamentais intrusivas e antiéticas, por outros rotulado como traidor e comprometedor da segurança nacional dos Estados Unidos. A teoria da desobediência civil pode ser invocada para questionar a legitimidade da condenação de Snowden, argumentando os seus defensores que este agiu de acordo com a sua consciência ao revelar informações de interesse público e denunciando violações dos direitos individuais. Ademais, a ascensão do capitalismo da vigilância elucida a complexidade da situação de Snowden que não só revelou a vigilância estatal, mas a colaboração entre governos e empresas na recolha e análise de dados dos
cidadãos.
Deste modo, a sua acusação por espionagem segunda a Lei da Espionagem poderá ser questionada à luz do contexto mais amplo tanto da teoria da desobediência civil como do capitalismo da vigilância que destacam as tensões entre a privacidade, liberdades fundamentais e a segurança nacional.

The case sparked a global debate about government surveillance, privacy and the limits of state power, receiving divergent reactions. Some considered him a hero for exposing intrusive and unethical government practices, others labelled him a traitor and a compromiser of US national security. The theory of civil disobedience can be invoked to question the legitimacy of Snowden's conviction, with defenders arguing that he acted according to his conscience in revealing information of public interest and denouncing violations of individual rights. Furthermore, the rise of surveillance capitalism elucidates the complexity of Snowden's situation, which not only revealed state surveillance, but also the collaboration between governments and companies in collecting and analysing citizens' data. In this way, his prosecution for espionage under the Espionage Act can be questioned in light of the broader context of both civil disobedience theory and surveillance capitalism, which highlight the tensions between privacy, fundamental freedoms and national security.
