These things never get any traction but I will try. The info we have is that @Snowden does not exist. He is a green screen creation.
Edward Snowden is well known as being a cousin to Mark Zuckerberg; neither one uses their real last name. Edward started out life in modeling. (Whether or not he ever went anywhere is another question.)
With this being the case, what is with Q's incessant references to @Snowden? The character has driven an awful lot of Q's narrative. Maybe the entire "ships to Syria" thing is one big distraction. Who knows.
