He tried not to ever have his personal life subject to examination, and so I think calling him Snowden is a way of just identifying him as this important historical actor rather than trying to personalize him in a way that might distract attention from the substance.
Va intentar no mai no examinessin la seva vida personal, i crec que anomenar-lo Snowden és una manera d'identificar-lo com a actor històric important en comptes d'intentar  personalitzar-lo per distreure atenció del contingut.
