You must watch these documentaries :

the files he revealed to the world can be found here : http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/nov/01/snowden-nsa-files-surveillance-revelations-decoded

Then research and find quotes, theories, information around the idea of internet as whistleblowing, democratic platform, and then answer this essay question (with over 4 sides of A4 answer)
