Good day from Singapore,

Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you
have nothing to hide is no different from saying you don't care about
free speech because you have nothing to say. – Edward Snowden

Using encryption helps to protect your privacy and the privacy of the
people you communicate with. Encryption makes life difficult for bulk
surveillance systems. GnuPG is one of the tools that Snowden used to
uncover the secrets of the NSA.

Short answer: he didn't.

This is incorrect.

According to Glenn Greenwald, he used GnuPG to communicate privately
with a couple of journalists. GnuPG played no role in his exfiltrating
data out of Fort Meade.
