    Can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to be Edward Snowden, give up a lucrative future in government work to do the right thing and put the word out, be hunted for the rest of your life by Uncle Sam. The collective response to your sacrifice was a big fat “meh”

      Sadly, you would be correct. Edward Snowden sacrificed his life to help us only to be met with nothing in return.

        This is an increasingly unpopular opinion on reddit from what I’ve seen. Glad the sane people switched sites.

          It almost seems like it’s a propaganda to discredit him and people who act like him or believe in what he said. To move the conversation away from what illegal shit the 3 letter agencies do and what they want to do.

      All he wanted was to let people know. What people decide to do with the information is up to the people. He achieved his goals, it isn’t his problem if people just ignore his message.

        Yeah, people are aware now so can make decisions on their own and decide their own risk tolerance.

        One thing I find funny though is how people think I don’t care if X country has my info it’s my home country Y I’m more worried about. But, their country Y is probably hacking country X and retrieving all their info from there with possibly less red flags to get through. So it really comes down to what people choose to share and use than a certain countries publicized spying policies.

      If his objective was to inform people, he at least succeeded with me

      I do my best to avoid things that were exposed, and it confirms not to trust our “safeguards”
