He’s in Russia now being used as a propaganda mouthpiece against the West, that’s how he survives, by doing whatever Russian intel tells him to do.
This isn’t totally a knock against him, he was caught between a rock and a hard place, and chose the “be used by dictators” route, rather than the “definitely go to prison for a while” route.
We just need better whistleblower protections and oversight here in the states, but if anything the spying on us has gotten worse since Snowden, while also still allowing for Internet Nazis to spread like a cancer with almost no pushback.

Remember friends:
the enemies of your enemy may feign to be your friend, but their only intent is to hurt their enemy not be your friend^ this is why Snowden is where he is, he picked poorly HOWEVER he likely had little choice.
