    I’m responding to the claim that Americans did nothing. It might be the case that there is illegal government surveillance going on today, but there is no evidence for that in any leaks, particularly not Snowden’s. If there is illegal government surveillance that we learn about later, the takeaway from the Snowden saga is that Americans will take action to shut it down.

      might be the case

      Everybody knows the U.S. is a massive surveillance state still. They literally have renewed FISA every year. And I know, it’s supposed to be for foreign spying. But you’d have to be a naive child to think they abide by the law.

      Nevermind all the spying Meta, Google, and windows do. And the government just buys up that data on people as if it were candy in a gas station.
